I have been searching across many forums and have come across discussions on this before but have failed in locating it. I'm searching for aquarium with known quarantine procedures prior to sales. Unfortunately while qt at home I have had poor luck in either my qt process or have had worse luck with quality stores in my locale. If you or anyone you have experience with could post for me a name and site that I can order pre qt process before sale and delivery with a provided link to their page I'd appreciate it. These to me are the real heroes of our hobby.

Hi, Rich!

I know that there are a few sites that _condition_ fish before sale, such as Pieces of the Ocean and the Divers' Den section of LiveAquaria, but I'm not aware of any who fully quarantine fish before sale. I've heard rumors of LFS who offer that service, but in my personal experience, they're about as commonly encountered as mermaids riding unicorns down Main Avenue . . .

I don't know of any stores that properly pre-treat and quarantine all incoming fish.

You should always do this yourself.
