Welcome to reef2reef. There are a few places I know that quarantine livestock. One of which is marinecollectors.com it's run by a guy named Elliot. Take at look at his protocol for QT. The prices may reflect the work goes into it but he can prob source you what ever your looking for.

Thanks very much.I tried him and he seems like a real nice guy but his fish around the high-end so I don't think they're quite suited for me but thanks a lot I appreciate the input

Any quarantined fish will come at a large premium. It is best to set up a quarantine tank and do your own. Quarantine serves two purposes. The first is to get the fish disease free. The second is to get them used to your feeding situation. You want them eating readily. Also new fish tend to be stressed and can stand some feeding and pampering.

Here are some recommended vendors. #1 being the most reputable in my opinion.

1) Humblefish Aquatics
2) Marine Collectors
3) Divers Den - Live aquaria

I'd also add "AquaLocker.com" to the list. They have three different levels for prep / quarantine. I am definitely going to use them when it comes to quarantining more difficult fish.
