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.

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

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.

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

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. |

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.
