Really? They are expensive but have a nice variety of fish and corals. If you're looking for a certain fish ask a lfs to order one for you?

for show angels, yes but they do come in every now and then. justrarefish sucks for the guarantee considering they don't have one :mamoru:
a good lfs can order just about anything you want
regarding marine center, try contacting them and inquiry about one of their fish, let me know when they get back to you hehe

Just rare fish is probably the only place that sells XL- show size angels, tangs, and triggers. Other places such as the divers den just sells extra small to small size fish. When you have a big system 200 gallon plus FO system. I dont think you want to stock it with small fish.
About the Marine Center. Did you notice that they do not list their phone number?? What is up with that?? You can only email them or place order on their website. For me, I like to call and talk to someone about that individual fish Im about to purchase. These marine fish aint cheap you know..

You sure you looking at the same divers den, there are lots of show size fish on there.

Regarding justrarefish.com, i would not deal with this guy at all. Does not guarantee his fish and posted a generic pic of a wrasse i was interested in and claiming it was the actual picture. When confronted and asked to take picture of actual fish he said he could not. How difficult is it to take a picture of a fish? When you are paying $300.00 for a fish it would be nice to see the actual specimen.
Liveaquaria is defintely the best, no comparision.

This is just me I have a 200 plus reef w/fish (2 different kind of angel pairs) & I like to buy my fish small (juveniles) to watch them grow.
I have a hard time finding small fish from Live Aquaria they tend to be on the large size in my opinion.
I have only bought fish from Live Aquaria so of course I think they are the best

Having a juvenile rare fish is 10x cooler than having an adult.

They usually adapt better to life in captivity too, don't they?

as much as i love live aquaria, id have to agree that divers den does suck too
ive never ordered live fish from DD, but ive ordered many soft corals that were absolute garbage, loaded with hitchhikers and just in poor general health.
i look at their fish selection often, some look great, while most look no different than what you would get from regular live aquaria only with jacked up prices.
i do notice a few fish even from the divers den pics that dont look that healthy. ive seen them offer a purple tang that had what appeared to be the start of HLLE, and a few angels had "pits" on their face and side area.
this is just my observation, im sure most of their stuff is decent, but i'll pass thank you

Re: Just Rare Fish
yes they do, very beautiful but the drawback is no warranty. just saw invincible's website where he bought 2 xl scribbled and personifer angels, both died with a week and he was left with no recourse.
here is a picture of the angels in his tank

i have to respectfully disagree, everything i've gotten from liveaquaria (about 10 fish), reefhotspot, ny aquatic and marine depot live have been nothing but great. everything that i have seen on justrarefish (i look almost every week) has been offered at one time or another at those 4 sites, at about the same price, only difference, you also get a warranty :lol:

remember, you are protected if you purchase fish with a credit card. I bought a show size tang it was 13inches long. Ordered it through a company in florida.
Well after 1 week, it died. I called the vendor, and the guy was
a total d_ck head and told me that there was nothing he could do.
I just picked up the phone and called my credit card company. Talked to the dispute dept. Well guess what, I got my money back! So guys, if you purchase with credit cards, and you get a raw deal, remember this option..

Really? Didn't even think of this with live fish. Do you know if there is a time limitation for filing a dispute? I purchased 2 expensive fish (a male Scribbled and a large Goldflake) from NY Aquatics a couple of months ago. They came in with ick all over them and I lost the Goldflake within a couple of days. I contacted him and he said there was nothing he could do and that he was not responsible. He did offer to sell me another Goldflake at his cost, which did not sound like much of a deal to me. Just did not want to risk losing any more money.
