    Well, last night I came home to find my blue spotted goby had become adventurous jumped into the overflow and ended on top of my sump pad.  Of course by the time I got home he was dead!  So, I am possibly going to be looking to get another one sometime in the future, if I decide not to go bare bottom.  Since many of the hobbist have ordered fish online, I am wondering who has the best live guantee?  Thanks for the input!

    I buy 90% from Live Aquaria.

    Good service & packaging.

    15 day guarantee. They take your word for it, no water samples, no pictures, no sending back the dead fish.

    i recommend goin and supporting your local fish store, and if there is a special fish that you want, just ask the lfs to order it for you. the economy is hard enough for pet stores. /DesktopModules/ActiveForums/themes/_default/emoticons/clap.gif

    If there was a decent pet store within a good driving distance I might think about it, but I would rather get good healthy livestock that they will stand behind.  There are a few good places in the state, but I am not going to spend 3-4 hours on a trip to buy fish.
    I dont understand how the online places can offer a 15 day guarantee with shipping it, but the LFS says it is yours when you hit the door.
    I would rather not turn this thread into a debate of buying local or not, but rather who has the best livestock & guarantee.

    I like DFS if something is DOA or dies within guarantee just call and tell them. They dont hassle you or want a frozen fish sent back they just give you credit, pretty much no questions asked.
