What is the BEST place online to purchase fish?

tom obrecht · 04/12/2006, 07:19 PM

I've had good luck from www.liveaquaria.com

mraafat · 04/12/2006, 08:27 PM

I second them. I wasn't too sure about the idea of purchasing fish online, but in all honesty they seem to have better fish than my lfs. Good luck and don't hesitate to order from liveaquaria.

I like saltwaterfish.com

In the past vivid aquarium was good to me.

High quality livestock and some of the best customer service to boot.

depends on the fish with me, like clowns I ordered from: clownaquatics.com, ive seen some really rare fish on: http://www.nyaquatic.com/servlet/StoreFront, Liveaquraia.com is awesome as well. those are the three main places i stick to!

steverransom · 02/03/2014, 11:09 AM

live aquaria for sure

phillrodrigo · 02/03/2014, 02:17 PM

Would for sure start with live aquaria. seem to be the gold standard. I usually use blue zoo there min shipoing is only 140 compared to La 225. Every fish I have ever recieved came in with amazing colors and seemed healthy.

+2 for liveaquaria, mostly because of their great customer service.

dmh41532 · 02/03/2014, 02:32 PM

I've had excellent experience with liveaquaria.com, heard good things about thatfishplace as well, but have only heard bad reviews about saltwaterfish.com

bbecher · 02/03/2014, 02:46 PM

Curious on bluezooaquatics.com opinions also

snorvich · 02/03/2014, 03:07 PM

While I have had excellent experiences with Live Aquaria, for the other vendors, do a search and read the reviews.

I have used and will continue to use LiveAquaria for fish. They have excellent customer service and lovely fish.

I do not use them anymore. One fish died one day after we received it, and even though the ad for the WYSIWYG fish stated "Quality Livestock Guarantee", apparently the receipt said that that particular fish had a restriction. I ASSumed that if the fish had a restriction it would have said it on the WYSIWYG page. I didn't know and got burned. Hope it was worth upsetting a customer blue zoo.

On previous order we got very cold snails. Most did not make it.

Live aquaria is second to none

Cbsailor11 · 02/03/2014, 08:22 PM

Vivid Aquariums is where I got all my livestock. I have heard LA is great also

Baldguy · 02/03/2014, 08:50 PM

Divers Den (a division of Live Aquaria) and Nicewrasse.com. Both because they quarantine all their fish before selling. Live Aquaria is good also but they do not QT their fish. Blue Zoo gets very good reviews but I've never dealt with them personally.
