    I've read the thread about Aqua Con and taken due note.  Liveaquaria and Blue Zoo seem to be popular.  How about SWF and Vivid - anybody have any experiences with them?

    I've ordered from Vivid and swfish before and was very happy with both of them, I actually got shipped the fish I ordered! Also, vivid has a lot better coral prices now then when I ordered, I think they have a WYSIWYG section too.

    I've ordered corals from Vivid and had great luck, everything was very well packaged!

    I've ordered from vivid once and it was a good experience. Everything came in large, fat, and healthy.

    For me, Vivid is right up there with Live Aquaria due to their guarantee. They are also really good about calling you prior to shipping if a fish doesn't look healthy, not eating or whatever so you can make substitutions or remove it from your order.

    Vivid is fantastic. They have excellent communication, and I have been given more than I ordered on several occasions. Livestock arrives in excellent health and eats with gusto. I've heard bad things about saltwaterfish but have no personal experience with them.

    Thanks for all the responses.  The Vivid site is very informative so I was hoping the service matched the advertising.  I've been hearing both sides about SWF so I'll just leave that one in neutral.
