The only one I stay away from now is LiveAquaria, they’ve gone so far downhill the last few years, even Diver’s Den fish, I think are a risky gamble.
If I’m searching for fish, I’ll typically check these places out:
- TSMAquatics: pricey and limited selection, but fully quarantined fish
- ReefPro: rare and expensive fish, somewhat frustrating communication pre-shipment (even delayed shipments), but they pack extremely well, I’ve ordered fish from them that arrived 40 hours later than expected who survived the extended time in-bag
- BlueZooAquatics: very trustworthy and older company
- NYAquatic: they’re local so I’ll usually just pick up. Mike’s a decent guy to deal with, but there can be issues with fulfillment/scheduling. Some people swear to stay away from them, but I’ve only had healthy fish from them.
- Biota: Captive-bred, straight from the source
