Title: Where is a good place to buy fish Dayton/Cinci?
Post by: jsweir on July 20, 2020, 12:54:32: Looking for some fish to start putting through QT while I set up my display. Been to Aquarium Artisans, low on inventory and Gerber I'm kind of hesitant with all the systems plumbed together and no QT process. Looking for good experiences.

I would quarantine no matter where I bought them from. I think most of the fish I have now came from Gerber and Marine Solutions and I don't think MS sells to public anymore.
