Online Fish/Coral buying - Aquarium Advice

ryshark · 12-26-2007, 08:59 PM

Does anybody know of an online store that has a big selection of fish? I am thinking about getting a forcipiger longirostris in the future, because they are suposed to be more reef safe than the f. forcipiger (longnosed butterflyfish) I have already checked liveaquara, saltwaterfish.com and marinedepotlive, they only have the shorter nosed longnose butterflyfish. I don't normally buy online but I think this may be a hard one to find. If anybody knows of another online store, I would love to hear it. Thanks.

They have them listed as out of stock, but you can be notified. I know nothing of the seller, I only use www.saltwaterfish.com and www.liveaquaria.com

Aside from liveaquaria, the only other place I've heard of is http://www.marinedepotlive.com/

I have actually been to their retail store and it is amazing.

I ordered from http://www.marinedepotlive.com/ and was not too happy about them. I ordered and took the day off they said it would be delivered and they didn't even ship it or send me any notice. Once I finally got my shipment I had a fighting conch DOA, a fish that only made it 6 days (one day after their warranty) and a pistol shrimp that was a little smaller than an inch (he didn't make it through acclimation). But that is just my experience. I do like the service I get from liveaquaria and thatpetplace.

I have only ever ordered corals online. I'm a little leary of ordering a fish that has a greater chance of dieing in transit. The sites mentioned above are the places that I know of.
