Best shop for fish?

[Miamireefer]

Hello all,

I am looking for the best shop to deal with regards to fish.

Bottom line I don't have a qt tank, nor do i have anymore space nor patience from my wife to hold one in the house. my reef tank is only stocked with 3 fish which is how I am keeping it.

My sons sps nano is something I am just about done working on.

My 90 fowlr is my primary stocking concern. I have been to just about every shop in Miami and well I won't get into it but let's just say "whatever" with the exception of a couple places. I am simply looking to find a shop who houses healthy fish which I can acclimate to my dt and not worry about mostly ich being my concern to infest my tank. And please I am not looking for a lecture on qt's before anyone goes into that.. just want to focus on my question and would appreciate any and all reccomendations. I am on the search for an aussie harlequin tusk btw....

Thanks folks,

Nick

Those horid looking creatures? lol, j/k. I know for sure Fishes of Eden had 2 of those last week I was in there. Their fishes are always in good condition, i haven't seen any of their tangs with ich or so on. Usually they get new fish on tuesday and they are more then willing to feed the fishes infront of you to make sure it eats. I think they were 2-3 inches too if that helps any.

lol, I am currently tuned on Hondata as well. Car is quiet, idles like stock and fun!

If you want, go and check them out. There is an older guy working there and he is really helpful on anything. Look around and take a pick of the fish, they are willing to hold them so you can make sure you want it and it will survive before it goes into your tank. Actually, they have an agressive tank for the type of fish you are looking for.
