It is against the rules to name competition against this site.

I have thought numerous times about getting them from this site... shipping is too much for me tho.. can't get a fish or coral on here for $20 and then pay more than that for shipping... would love some of the corals tho!
and ya you can't post competitors sites.. but from what I have seen this site has one of if not the best selections

I dont know how the prices vary in your area, but here, if I buy a $25 dollar candy cane piece, with $20 shipping, thats almost the same as buying it here for about $45. I would much rather support SWF though.

I would love to support this great site too... but at my LFS I am getting some great deals... not nearly as much variety as on here tho... I dont know too much about different types of corals... I do know my LFS just got some Darth mauls that I want really bad!!!!

thanks, guess I can't get a unbiased answer if the site dictates you cant talk about dealers. Go figure in the age of information sharing we're still muffled by mods.
my unbiased answer was that this site has great prices and a great guarantee... I shopped around a lot before even joining this site.. and all the other sites I looked at didnt offer warranties on DOA fish. thats why I picked this site. so ya that is my unbiased answer.. like it or leave it... your call

im not trying to be mean but coming to a site that sells fish and asking the people who support this website where to buy cheaper fish is pretty rude...

Get over yourself. I came here b/c of the community, not b/c it's a site that sells fish. To me this is a forum community first, and second a site that sells stuff. With no members this "forum" would not exist. So no it's not rude at all. I'm a potential customer asking about the reputation of sellers.. NOT A LOW BALLER.. Really dude get a grip. I run my own forum I know the drill. Have you ever run a forum?
To the other guys thanks for the feedback on this site. Thats good to know. I'm really just trying to find sites that offer exotics. Thats what I try to keep, not into the corals and such. But I do like my hard to find fish

This is the best site for fish. You can't beat the quality of fish or the 15 day guarantee. I work five minutes from a large retail store, and I still would rather buy my fish from SWF.com. As far as other items, I buy from the large store and with coupons I get some really great deals.

the prices on this site r reasonable, but not the best. the shipping is $30-35 everywhere u look online. almost all online sites offer a 7-15 days guarantee.
huh.. this is the only site I have seen the 15 day on.. a couple other may have a 3-5 day one... I wouldnt mind paying a little more for a 15 day warranty tho...

Tim, your sort of right. I bought an emperor angel on here which arrived DOA. I then tried to use my credit for an 80 dollar purchase (69.99 credit) and it said I fell below the live shipping quota and needed to add more to my order. So in essence, I have to buy another 70-80 dollars worth of product so I can use my credit... It kind of sucks when I don't want to spend that much. Never mind that I don't have any place for approx. $150 worth of stuff lol.

SWF pays for the forums, and they make the rules. I can understand why they dont like people posting about competitors. Detatching myself from forum-binds, this is a great place to order from anyways. Good prices, and they just lowered the minimum order, so for me, this is a great value.
