Liveaquaria, usually Divers Den. I can't recall ever getting a fish that got sick.

The new one that opened by international mall in Doral. It used to be next to a Toys R Us but they moved one plaza down. Picked up my maroon and neon goby there. I was there a few months back and they actually have a guy maintaining the tanks that knows his stuff. Very refreshing to see that.

I primarily get fish from my LFS or Live aquaria, for the reasons others have mentioned. Corals I get from online or other reefers.

Sweet I never seen that one. I'll have to check it out. Thanks

If I don't go by the one here in key largo. I either go to house of fins or strictly fish. Those are good ones for anyone who is in the Miami area

I highly recommend them. They have a sweet set up. wide variety of fish/frags/LR and dry goods. Some stuff can be a little pricey but some stuff I've noticed are cheaper than other places.

Just got my first order from LA over the weekend and everything was super healthy and fat (including a large powder blue tang that's doesn't have any trace of ich). I now highly recommend them!
