I bought a Clown Trigger from Aquarium Fish: Tropical Freshwater Fish and Saltwater Fish for Home Aquariums and I couldn't of been happier. I ordered it from their divers den, so I saw the exact fish that I bought before I ordered it.

I have had great luck with saltwaterfish.com and Liveaquaria.com. Have bought fish, corals and inverts from them with no complaints so far.

Sea Life Inc.

That is by far the best site I have been to. They do not have too much in stock this time of year, but usually mid-late summer they have lots of neat things.

I have ordered from them many times and love it every time!

I like Welcome to Pacific East Aquaculture for Corals and some inverts; Blue Zoo Aquatics-Live saltwater Fish, Corals, Invertebrates and Food and Aquarium Fish: Tropical Freshwater Fish and Saltwater Fish for Home Aquariums for almost everything. I've had several bad experiences with Marine Depot Live and wouldn't recommend them at all.

i have had really good experience with bluezooaqatics.com and liveaquaria.com; the livestock was great (both fish and corals) but more importantly, when i had a problem (DOA livestock), both were great customer service!
