Good source for fish?

[Sm2]

Where do you guys get your fish? My local stores never have the selection I would like. You guys use online sources? If so which ones are considered the best and safest?

I use local stores, always the same ones. I asked local reefers for their recommendations. There must be local reefing Facebook groups of your area where you can ask.

Talk to your LFS, see if they would be willing to order what you want for you... this sometimes allows them to place a bigger order and get better prices.

I've used Reef Beauties...and placed a test order with a Desoto Aquatics. Order (Reef Beautues) was processed quick and everything arrived alive and well. All are alive and well, with the exception of a clown goby that got through the wier and somehow found a dryish spot on a floss filter I had in chamber 2. They have a 15 day guarantee..and I THINK a shipping option that covers delays on the part of ups/fedex

LiveAquaria seems to have gone to pot, last few years reviews (and indeed BBB complaints) imply better safe than sorry.

The Fish Hotel…. Jeff is one of the best at qt and lately we as a group on the Humblefish forum have been doing custom orders through a vote. Currently we decided to order from Africa and I have a few going through qt I expect to receive in the next couple of weeks.

Other than that I have ordered from saltwaterfish, live aquaria, and bought from Petco and my lfs. But I qt all of those myself.
