Is it a good idea to buy fish online? How do you know if the store is a trustworthy store? What are somethings to look for before purchasing them from online? My LFS here will order whatever I want but I am thinking that the fish would be less stress if he went straight from the dealer to me and skipped the fish store. I've found a site that has a 14 day guarantee on thier fish. But then I have the delimma of buying a fish without seeing it first and knowing that it is healthy.

If your lfs uses a QT then I wouldn't be afraid to let him order something. Check out the vendor listings on this forum and you will find some really good vendors.

I've not asked a lot but know from word on forums that liveaquaria.com seems to have a good response and saltwaterfish.com, as long as the fish are in stock that is!

liveaquaria is the one I've been looking at. I've also been on saltwaterfish.com but I've not really thought alot about ordering from them.
