I've had good luck with Dr's Foster&Smith's livestock. All of the fish I've received have exceeded my expectations.

I have had very good luck with Marine Depot and great service, just make sure what your wanting is in stock. Best to place order over phone.

liveaquaria.com def
not only does everything come very healthy but you cant beat their gaurantee. no one even comes close to their gaurantee, its basically no hassle and no worries ive gotten fish from them, coral, inverts and koi. all great and when something did go wrong (once with koi) they gave me a refund right away stay away from vivid, i got nothing but dead corals from them and a hassle trying to get my money back (they did in time but it wasnt easy) |

Well you can check out the venders feedback. Seems like there are a ton of places to get them. I've only ever ordered one fish online and that was from Live Aquaria. I like to see what I'm getting.

etropicals has free shipping on byo packages, and excellent service/product. Reeftopia is pretty darn cheap, especially if your needing to stock a large tank. Live tropicals/etropics may not always be the absolute cheapest, but always recieved excellent quality livestock from them. The sight unseen worried me at first, too. But no compliants.

It depends on what your looking for but I've also ordered from Ken at sealifeflorida.com several times and he's great plus cheap shipping.
Liveaquaria/doc fosters also great. kass |
