Default Buying fish online?
Has anyone made any purchases from saltwaterfish.com?
I have been thinking about buying some fish and inverts from there site and was wondering if anyone has had any experience dealing with them, or if anyone had any other online sources to recommend.

Good place to buy from, all my fish and inverts live and are very nice sized. Each time you order from them you get something free.

35 bucks total and it comes with a 14 day gaurantee. They wrap the whole thing in a insulated pouch with heat or ice pack. Saltwaterfish say free shipping but its not.

petsolutions.com has been pretty good, shipping 29.95 puts a dent on things but prices are good. JMO

saltwaterfish.com has a fifteen day gaurantee and a lot of their stuff says free shipping but I'm not sure if reeally is free either. Is the information about the on liveaquaria.com sound?

Live aquaria is amazing. They made a mistake once and shipped me something and didnt know that it was 100 plus degrees at my house and 1 thing died. They credited the whole order for there foul. They are very good at what they do...

I have never had to pay extra for anything! No box charge or fuel charges.
