What place did you like best?

Cartman89 · 06-28-2006, 11:20 AM

What fish online stores have you ordered from and what one was the best? If you don't see your website you ordered from tell me what it was. *This only if you bought any livegoods not dry.* I only bought from e-tropicals and the livestock came in great condition!

I have ordered from marinedepot and saltwaterfish.com
For dry goods and cust svs i love marine depot, but for fish or anythig alive saltwaterfish has a good selection, they always arrive healthy and they also have free shipping at any order over 79$ which saves a lot too.

I have ordered from Reefscience.com - Chad is a great guy!

And Coralhq.com - Andy is another terrific reefer!

I've only ordered one 'fish' so far online from liveaquaria. its a powder blue tang, absolutely awsome fish. i dont think it could have been in any better
physical shape...just beautiful!

I have ordered from all of them and was pleased with all except for Jeff's. I was overcharged by them, and never got it resolved. Also, when looking at LiveAquaria and Etropicals, even though they are affiliated, they often have different prices and sales. With one sometimes being much cheaper than the other.

I've had good luck with LiveAquaria, Saltwaterfish and Marine Depot. The livestock arrived next-day from all of them...and they were darn good eatin'!

I'm glad that others have had good luck with Saltwaterfish.com. Hopefully they've gotten better. I can't say the same. I stopped ordering from them about a year ago after I lost fish on three orders that I placed. I would have had to place an additional order to redeem the credit. I couldn't get anyone by phone and my replacement codes wouldn't work on their order form. I consider their customer service to be about about nonexistent. I still have a credit which I'll never use. Personally, I won't do business with them again.
