Where should I get my first clown? online?

[courtneyclv]

I want to get a nice first clown fish. My LFS have them, but they sell quickly and the selection is basic..and they are VERY tiny.

What is the best online site to get an interesting, larger pair of clowns?

There are lots of good places online. However; with shipping costs what they are it is very unlikely that it is worth doing. I'm sure there are some very nice fish stores in Vegas, it's a big city now after all.

I would suggest looking in the club forum section for local reefers. I'm sure they can direct you to a good store that will be able to meet your needs better than any online source.

Yes it is a huge city, and our local stores are wonderful I have been to all of them....
However..I want to possibly get a clown that our stores do not carry. I know many people order from liveaquaria.com and they get a good price with shipping.

My LFS sell purple tangs for $100. Big cities come with big prices.
Plus, they have guarantees that the stores do not have.
