Re: Where do you buy?
Be very very careful of www.saltwaterfish.com. I've used them before because sometimes they have amazing prices on stuff. But, when several of the fish they sent me arrived dead, I had to PAY to send them back the bodies to prove that they were dead. And another fish they sent me died a day later in my tank, and they wouldn't give me credit without the body. Like I'm going to dig around in my tank for a fish body. And once I got the credit, they still require an additional minimum purchase (like $80 or something) in order to even use the credit, and the credit doesn't count towards that minimum!! For example, if you have a $30 credit, and their minimum purchase is $80, you have to spend $110, not $80 in order to get your credit.

Re: Where do you buy?
I try to purchase as much as I can from my LFS. I like the idea that someone is right there if I need anything. However, I have heard some really good things about Liveaquaria and will likely purchase from them in the future. The LFS just doesn't have the coral selection you can get on-line.

Re: Where do you buy?
Biff, I just went through the exact same thing last week. I purchased a clown trigger and as soon as I opened the box I knew it wasn't gonna make it. They give you 5 hours upon receipt to determine if it arrived dead. I e-mailed them in the first hour of acclimation him saying "This poor guy is not gonna make it." It didn't actually die until the next day and even though I told them within the first hour I still only got store credit. And like you said, now I have to spend $110.00 to use the $75.00 credit!

Re: Where do you buy?
Looks like no more fish from them. I'll check them off my list. I must of been lucky because mine all arrived alive and still living.

Re: Where do you buy?
That is good to know about saltwaterfish.com! I am always looking at their inventory considering buying something, anything!
I usually buy locally. I am lucky to live by a number of stores that carry a good selection of fish and coral. I have considered purchasing some items online. I am a little afraid of the cost to ship, and not being able to stay home and catch the shipment when it comes in (I am devastated when we lose fish in the tank, I am not sure how I could handle getting a bad shipment).
