I'm curious what is opinion out there of the best company to potentially order fish from. I hear a lot of talk about Divers Den in Live Aquaria, but they seem very expensive. Any opinions of them or other suggestions?
 
Quarantined fish? If yes, the tsmaquatics.com

There must be other quarantine dealers. I wish I knew who they are

TSM is way better then DD/LA.

LA/DD prices are way up but their protocols are the same (or maybe worse since they lost Kevin) so it’s hard to justify the price.
 
If I were buying one or two fish, I might buy pre-quarantined fish... but if you are buying 3, 4, 5+ fish, then just QT'ing them all together yourself would probably be less expensive (provided you have the QT tank already) than paying the additional premium price on all those fish.
 
I highly recommend Dr. Reef, TSM Aquatics, Marine Collectors, Ocean Devotion LA, etc. There are many vendors out there who provide fully quarantined fish!
 
I use Marine Collectors and the services Elliot provides is top-notch, always eating right away.

I just ordered 6 more fish from him and should be here hopefully next week
 
Really anywhere that quarantines fish would be best. So many vendors send out sick livestock. I find many places to be very costly, while providing poor results. Almost every live order I’ve placed, with a few exceptions, have had DOAs, incorrect livestock, or sick fish. That’s just my experience, though.
 
I have been wondering the same since i am still a newbie. Anyone ever ordered from kp aquatics? I found some fish i cant seem to find other places

I’ve heard that KP aquatics is really good.
 
TSM Aquatics! Have gotten all my fish from them. Any problems resolved quickly, great communication. And the prices are very reasonable for the service.
 
I haven't ordered from them so no experience but @Reef Pro offers quarantined or conditioned fish, their prices are competitive compared to others. I just stick with Marine Collectors because that's what I know
 
I’ll second Reef Beauties. Great experiences for me with multiple orders, but I do my own QT.
 
+ 1 to @Reef Pro I've placed several orders with them, in fact I have another order from them arriving tomorrow. They no longer offer quarantined fish, but their conditioned fish are healthy and eat right away. They have great customer service and pack the fish really well in large bags and boxes. Awesome vendor
