Best Online Site?
 
I'm looking for opinions on the best online sites to order fish, inverts, corals etc...I've used saltwaterfish.com and have been happy so far. Just trying to gauge price, selection etc...Thanks!

Liveaquaria, best customer service and a very good 14 day guarantee.

If your looking for rare fish, justrarefish.com has always been a winner for me.

Both of the above are excellent. Best is NOT cheapest.

liveaquaria

there are other good sites and folks to work with, but IMO, they are the most consistent and dependable.

I would have to say froster smith/ live aquaria.

I've used Saltwaterfish.com several times.good place to order.

I use Livequaria's Divers Den the most even though prices are higher then on their regular site.I prefer the healthiest fish possible even if it cost a bit more.

Blue Zoo Aquatics is excellent as well.....

Liveaquaria.com hands down. I have also had some good luck with reef hotspot.com when ordering large hard to find angelfish.

Worst site is aquacon.com. The guy lied to me and told me he had a Scribbled angel in stock during a time in the season when no one else had them. Gave him my credit card number and he charged me for the fish at a price almost twice that others offer them when they have them in stock. He said he had about nine or ten of them but he would not be able to ship them for a couple of weeks because he claims to keep them in quarenteen for that long. At first he said he could send me one in a week, then it was two, then three and he could still did not send me any fish. Finally after three weeks I told him to refund my money and cancel my order in email and on the phone. He did not send me a fish and refused to credit my account. I had to despute the charge with American Express and they finally took off the charge because the guy was too much of a jerk to issue a credit and the credit card company said he would not even respond to their inquiry so they ruled in my favor. Mind you this was not a special order fish.... he claimed to have them in stock from the first time I called to order, and that his price could be so high because they were not in season and no one else had them in stock. I think he must get the orders and then order them from his supplier and then jack up the price and send them to you. Finally got a nice Scribbled angelfish from reefhotspot.com a couple of days later for half the price that Ron at aquacon wanted to charge. Lesley

saltwaterfish.com has a minimum order of $79 and the store credit refund is not applicable to the minimum order. Right now I have about $50 credit and just can't make my oder exceed $129 coz I don't wanna handle more than 2 fish at a time. The return procedures were bothersome and their shipping is not actually free though. I think Im ganna try Liveaquaria.com next time.

I purchased all of my fish at Reef Hotspot.com.

Great customer service!

yoboyjdizz 12/17/2007 09:06 PM

Hands down liveaquaria... I've also tired reef hotspot, there customer service is on par with liveaquaria but the quality of fish liveaquaira provides is second to none.

Live Aquaria of course but a few others to check out are:

PhishyBusiness.com

I have used both LA and SWF and had good luck with both.I think LA has a better selection.
