My first reaction to the thought of mail order fish was an uncomfortable

Cockerspanials, isnt buying mail-order Livestock online from Marine
Specialists a source of much healthier Specimens? If so, please give links
to the reputable dealers you have had good experiences with.

I've made only two purchases, both from Foster & Smith. The first was a bunch of
crabs & snails for tank cleanup duties; the second was 30 lbs of live rock. The
cleanup crew was ordered in mid-winter (which gets a bit chilly here in NJ).
They put heat packs in the boxes to take care of that; charged extra for those too.

Anyway, everything arrived in great shape and I was quite satisfied. If the
nitrites stay down, I will be ordering more live rock in the next few days.
Probably from F&S again, but maybe not.

I've ordered supplies from http://www.marinedepotlive.com but no fish yet.
