Hey all... Has anyone ever used saltwaterfish.com? Is the livestock in good health? I'm looking for a new online store to order from. My LFS has gone way down hill, and I only go there to get basic supplies.

depends what you are looking for?
The fish are not quarantined or anything. You likely will get some good and some bad.
Most of their fish come from a wholesaler directly to you.

I have ordered 2 foxface / powder brown tang / blue hippo tang and they are all still alive and doing well. I had a issue with the bi color foxface where it looked a bit sickly and the support team responded promptly (turns out it was just the normal foxface stress response). I'd recommend.
other than fish ordered being smaller than I ordered- Good packing and dependable shipping
I've received 2 fish from them and some snails and hermit crabs. FedEx messed up the delivery and only 1 fish survived. He's doing great as did the clean up crew members. The other fish was DOA (again delayed due to FedEx) and they followed their stated process for the DOA fish 100%.
I have ordered plenty of gear from them and they were great. I just got in a Reef Breeders Photon 48V2 Pro with the HOB brackets and it was shipped fast and packaged as good as you could ask for.

I'm not a fan of using Google reviews. I've learned in this hobby that a bad review can be by someone who just purchased an aquarium... hasn't cycled it properly, doesn't have a UV, Carbon reactor, protein skimmer, wave maker, or correct lighting, but then blames the fish store, because their fish died in 5 days.
Like i said. My LFS has a 4.8 on Google, based on over 400 reviews. However, every tank has dinos, almost every tank has at least 2 dead fish. The live rock has bristle worms. The corals are all half dead, and if you ask the sales people to bring you 5 red tip hermits, you'll end up getting 2 bumblebees and 3 emerald crabs.
