Aquarium societies. I used to attend three a month but am down to once
a month now :)
Local fish shops. Or not so local if I come across them in my travels.
Aquarium society conventions. The American Cichlid Association has a
yearly convention. I try to attend every year. They have an awesome
auction and it is hard not to come home with bags and bags of fish.
Aquabid or other online sellers.

Subject: [AquaticLife] Re: Which Fish?? Bettas?
You know, I was going to ask where the members of this group get their
fish. The local independent store here went out of business several
years ago or else I would go there. There are a couple of Petsmarts
nearby (for me nearby means 30 to 45 miles away) but both have dirty
tanks and dead fish. I did find a Petco where I have been buying my
fish and they seem to be pretty knowledgeable and so far the biggest
threat to my fish has been me, I tend to over feed.
