does anyone know a reliable place to buy marine fish online?

I moved this thread to the saltwater stocking forum. Likely to get more answers here.

Have you checked out liveaquaria.com? I've purchased freshwater stock from them, and they're pretty good (though you end up spending a lot, because they have a minimum order and then shipping is expensive, as it always is with livestock)

ok ill check it out

cichlidlover

that one looks good! also do you know if a humu triangle triggerfish is good or acceptable for beginers?

sirdarksol

Not sure, but liveaquaria lists the Humu Picasso Triggerfish as being good for beginners. If they're similar, then probably so.
Someone with more SW knowledge should be around soon and will have a more definitive answer.

I don't know anything about trigger fish but Liveaquaria seems to be quite good at their descriptions. I haven't ordered fish from but have ordered other stuff, inverts and LR and had no issues with them.

ok

Liveaquaria seems very good. But ALL online stores have a big shipping charge.

cichlidlover

the problem is that the only good pet store around me does't sell marine fish

LiveAqauria is really good, especially if you get a DOA fish or coral. It's happened to me before and they were easy to get a hold of and had great customer service.

I'd like to try MarineDepotLive.com and SaltwaterFish.com in the future. If you're buying just one fish, buying online isn't really worth it IMO, but buying several fish may make it worthwhile. Maybe you could go in with a friend locally to save on shipping? Just a thought.

Do you know what type of anemone the common clownfish would be good with?
