Not sure if this is allowed, so if not feel free to remove it...

But anyway, what are the most well regarded online sources for fish online in the US?

I'm familiar with Liveaquaria, Nyaquatics, AmongtheReef, and PIA, but not many others, and would love to nice a few more sites to check out!

I think you covered the bases... I would put LA and Amongthereef at the top. Bluezoo Aquatics is another.. But mixed reviews. I have never ordered from them and probably will not.
 
Blue Zoo is generally OK - the issue with them is the rather limited warranty and that credits due to losses are not combinable like with LiveAquaria.
I like them for their larger selection and that their stock is usually available longer while LA often sells out super fast.
 
I can only speak from experience with liveaquaria, warranty is great and the fish/invert orders I've brought in have been great! Their customer service is top notch.

I have ordered from several vendors. BZ, LA, PetSolutions, and Vividaquariums. VA has been really good, very healthy fish and eating within hours of arriving. They just don't have huge selection. They have the basic/common fish. I ordered from BZ, as they are ok. I like the fact you can choose your delivery date which is nice for a person like me that works 9-5. As Rower said I don't like the warranty and credit issues and their fish to me are undersized than advertised. LA is good and I have had a couple deaths from there also. I just got my latest order from Petsolutions and so far very please with them. Very nice size fish and so far appears to be healthy.
 
I have ordered fish from LA, BZ, and VividAquariums. VA has great looking fish that acclimated well. LA has sent me some excellent fish, but on the other hand more than once there were not enough heat packs resulting in the deaths of smaller fish I had ordered. LA had no issue giving me a refund/credit in those cases, but I would have rather had a live fish... After several bad experiences with BZ, I will not order or recommend them to anyone.

I am excited to hear if anyone has ordered from AmongtheReef! They have a couple fish I have been wanting for awhile that I can't seem to find anywhere else.

I believe they reopened under new ownership.

Yes. I don't remember the owner's name, but I believe they are in the Southwest US now. The few things I've seen, since it's only been a couple months since reopening, have been positive.
 
I just received my recent order from Blue Zoo Aquatics under an hour ago. They shipped me a fairy wrasse. Not only did it arrive alive but was eating during acclimation. Heres a video of him (it's a male) eating

I think you can give his number out. His number is on his website :) Another big Jordan fan here..
 
So PIA fish comes with free ich? Lol I was looking at their website and saw this Venustus Angel. Hopefully that's just micro bubbles and the fish is ok.
