Bad fish quality
I have a 75 gallon tank. I have placed an order with LiveAquaria on 2 separate occasions, and both times have lost most of the fish within the first week. The first time, I blamed it on the fact that I was a new hobbiest and was inexperienced. Many successful years later, the same thing happened with the second order. 2 fish were DOA, and I keep losing more fish by the day. I followed all the proper acclimation procedures. There are fish in that tank that are over 4 years old and still thriving. The only ones dying are the ones from liveaquaria. You can’t get a refund, only a store credit which is completely useless to me. I will never again be placing any orders with them.

Go Somewhere Else for Fish
I've ordered from them three times. One fish of what was supposed to be a male/female pair was left out of the first order, and one arrived dead in the third order. Granted, they will refund you the costs of the fish, but you are still out the $29.99 overnight air shipping. You won't receive a credit on that, even when LiveAquaria manages to leave a fish out of your original shipment. A credit on a missing or dead fish is nice, but that really doesn't begin to cover the shipping charges on an order they screwed up, and they are not going to offer to send you a replacement on their dime.
On the positive side, their packaging and shipping procedures (when the fish actually makes into the package) are great and their representatives are very pleasant. However, that I'm out $60 in shipping charges on one fish I didn't receive and one that arrived dead seems like a very valid reason to longer shop with them. There are other places to shop for fish and plants online, I would recommend trying those before LiveAquaria.

My first order and the fish was dead
My first order from them resulted in a dead blend arriving and an order for a coral that was in stock when I purchased but, after I submitted the order, was back ordered for weeks possibly. Customer service said they’d apply credit to my account for the dead fish. But, if I want to reorder, they'd charge me $40 for box fees and shipping if I want use that credit to get a new fish. I have. A”box” right here that the dead fish cane in and $30 shipping that the was wasted. And I’m not sure if, when my coral gets in stock, they’ll charge for shipping that separately. I won’t be using them again.

Definitely a great experience
Definitely a great experience. I made an order of fish from live aquaria. They all came packaged extremely well. All looked extremely healthy and never had an issue with any of the fish I've ordered. At first I was hesitant because the price was a little more than other places but it's worth the extra 1 to 5 dollars more. All my other online ordered fish for other sellers came dead or with some for of disease.
