    Never bought fish from online, but i believe my next fish purchase will be from Liveaquaria. 14 day guarantee and they supposedly send you the healthiest animal they have at the time. They seem like they are very good with their animals and I have never heard any bad experiences with them.

    I have bought more fish, corals and other inverts from LA than I can count. I am going to do so again shortly.

    iBluewater has also been a good resource for me.

    If you order from LA, unless you get it from divers den, LA never actually sees the fish, they ship it right from their wholesaler. Not knocking them in anyway, they produce quality fish, just thought that was interesting.

    iBluewater, while pricey, is an awesome online store, especially if you like clowns, Angels, or butterflies.

    I too like bluezooaquatics.

    I would stay away from aquacon.com

    I have purchased a small reef pack from reefs2go, never again, it came with:
    • 1 Purple Sea Whip - small
    • 100 Pods (Amphipods/Copepods Mix)
    • 10 Blue Leg Hermit Crabs
    • 10 Cerith Snails
    • 2 Scarlet Leg Hermit Crabs
    • 1 Shaving Brush Plant
    • 5 Astraea Snails
    Half of the pods were dead, all the astraea snails were dead, cerith snails were microscopic, same with blue legged hermits, and 1 scarlet was dead. Took pictures of the DOA's received a 2.50$ credit that I will never use. The purple sea whip seems to be doing well and the shaving brush recently died, but 2 new plants are rooting up from the sand.
