Purchasing Fish On-line...

I'm not sure this is the right forum for this so if not, please direct me to the proper place. Thanks~

For people like myself that have no LFS, I could use some advice.

Do any of you get your livestock on-line? Is there a very good retailer that you like? One that has good quality, healthy, fish, etc?

Reasonable shipping prices, warrant live delivery, good to deal with etc?

I'd love some recommendations please.
Thank you~
Terri Randall

I like to buy crabs from "Caribbean fish and more" on Ebay. It is a couple of brothers from FL that are trying to get started. They have good prices and I have used them a couple of times. I by all of my dry goods from Dr. Foster and Smith. They also sell live fish through their other site liveaquaria.com. I have never bought from them, but I have heard good things and would. I visited their store in WI once.

Reefcentral has a bunch of sponsor forums towards the bottom of the main forum page. Go into them and read the posts in there about customer service and livestock health. Most of them are pretty good. Just pick one you like, comments, guarantee, prices, etc.

There's a Vendor Experience forum that has good threads, if you want to search. It's also a good place to solicit people's experience with a vendor...
