Hey all... Has anyone ever used saltwaterfish.com? Is the livestock in good health? I'm looking for a new online store to order from. My LFS has gone way down hill, and I only go there to get basic supplies.

I'm not a fan of using Google reviews. I've learned in this hobby that a bad review can be by someone who just purchased an aquarium... hasn't cycled it properly, doesn't have a UV, Carbon reactor, protein skimmer, wave maker, or correct lighting, but then blames the fish store, because their fish died in 5 days."Overview. SaltwaterFish has a rating of 1.91 stars from 61 reviews, indicating that most customers are generally dissatisfied with their purchases. Reviewers complaining about SaltwaterFish most frequently mention store credit, customer service, and live aquaria problems. SaltwaterFish ranks 21st among Aquariums sites"
Straight from the Google
Agree totally. Excellent point and a good idea to google your LFS then go see what you think in comparison.I'm not a fan of using Google reviews.

Like i said. My LFS has a 4.8 on Google, based on over 400 reviews. However, every tank has dinos, almost every tank has at least 2 dead fish. The live rock has bristle worms. The corals are all half dead, and if you ask the sales people to bring you 5 red tip hermits, you'll end up getting 2 bumblebees and 3 emerald crabs.

I was just about to pull the trigger on an order and of course they sold out of what I was looking at. Hope all goes well, looking forward to hearing.I just placed an order for a snowflake eel, a couple wrasses, a starry Blenny, plus their $10 copperband butterfly promo. Delivery set for Wednesday.. I’ll let you know how it goes!
