I buy from basically 3 different LFss. Some smaller things I collect in the sea like amphipods and grass shrimp. I rarely buy fish because they normally only die of old age. This year maybe I bought 2 fish. A clingfish and a weird pipefish. I can't fit any more fish unless something dies and my pair of bangai cardinals are near the end of their lifespan so they may go this year. I have about 26 fish. I select fish that are odd. I don't like tangs or angels because they are to common (which is the reason for the clingfish) Of course I don't want sick fish but if it has a few parasites, that would not stop me from buying it because I want them to boost the immune systems of my fish.
After so many years you can tell if a fish is going to make it. I also see it eat before I buy any fish.
