Best Stores ?????

I tried to post this in another forum but wouldn't let me "Not Enough Posts" so I will try it here. Being pretty new, what online stores offer up the best pricing for fish. I got my snails and other cleaners from reeftopia and now I need a place to get the fish. Any help would be appreciated.

I had a good experience with saltwaterfish dot com. Shipment was well packed, (though not sure how they pack it during the winter, I expect they would add heat packs, don't know so don't quote me on that) and everything arrived alive.

I'm a fan of http://www.liveaquaria.com/.

Their products are high quality, very knowledgeable staff, and great customer service. I only had to use the guarantee once, and did so without any problems or questions.

Good luck, Fred

Welcome to RC:
I would also suggest you check out the (vendor experience forum) here on RC. You will be able to read about others experiences for online stores. Also as stated before-go to the sponsers page (the link is at the top of every thread).
hope this helps.

I like liveaquaria.

I personally will only order from websites that have a livestock guarantee.

I have been buying all my livestock from online stores for a long time and have good things to say about all 3 sources I use. But, I love LiveAquaria, maybe because Marty Smith was my vet when I lived in Northern Wis. in the 80s. I also do biz with saltwaterfish dot and bluezooaquatics---never anything but great results with any of them. I'm stocking 3 tanks now, lost all my stuff to Katrina, so I'm buying quite a bit; who I buy from depends on who has what at the time I want it. I've known some great folks in the lfs biz; but, sorry, the quality, price, guarantee, and service from good online stores just can't be matched--IMO.
