What QT online sites have you used for fish? Looking for quality and don't mind paying for it. I know TSM,DR Reef Quarantined, and marine collectors but never used them.

Any testimonials would be great

If you want fish you know are going to be healthy, buy captive bred fish from biota or ora. If you want fish that have a good chance of being healthy, dr reef, fish hotel, and tsm are decent.

Highly recommend Dr reef.

I tried a tomini from LFS twice, first one they injured with the net trying to catch him and he had abrasions on his face and died in 3 days. Second time I made them use a container to catch him safely and that one looked healthy but wouldn’t eat and died in less than a week.

Frustrated with the LFS I decided to try online, and chose Dr Reef. My fish was quarantined and adapted to eating store bought food. He arrived in a large shipping bag with plenty of water. Not a mark on him. Larger than the ones from my lfs also. And he ate on the first day and has been doing great ever since.

Then I wanted yellow wrasse (formerly yellow coris) and I ordered again from Dr reef. I opened the box, and while this may not happen for everyone, I was shocked to see two yellow wrasse. He told me they are not the best at handling shipping, so he sent two in case one didn’t make it. Well, they both shipped fine and were completely healthy. And, a matched male / female pair. How incredibly lucky! Have them still also, they ate on first day as well.

Any fish I get will come from Dr reef.
