2 words...severum mama. She and her husband (HN1) are members on this site and have fantastic and healthy fish. They have a stock list in the classifieds section on this site. They're the only ones I'll get my fish from :)

I get all of my fish from the LFS, the only one we have besides Petco. Not a great selection but they are good about trying to get what you want. Years ago I ordered some shell dwellers on-line, it was March, still cold and didn't get them til late afternoon. They died within the week.
 
That Fish Place. I only live 30-45 minutes away, great selection. However I've heard multiple times severum mama has great fish

Sorry dropped my phone and hit send !!

I have a Petco, Petsmart and a LFS close to me; all with different options. I just got my first mail order fish from Severum Mama. She has some different (better) options and is great to deal with.

When I first started, I went to Walmart (yep) and Petco coz they are the nearest...but since I got some fish from severum mama and HN1, I will never go back...period. :-D That's how good they are.
 
In the UK I think that mail order for fish leaves a lot to be desired. Most (if not all) fail to give adequate info on the fish and many sell Parrot Fish, which I , personally, refuse to fund. Luckily I have an excellent aquatic store quite nearby who are incredibly ethical and really good at giving advice.
