Has anyone used www.tropicalfish.org.uk for fish being delivered. Any views?

No, but the website says they've been around since 1966, and they won a few awards. That sounds promising. I'm not fond of their website layout, though. It's a bit unprofessional. I'm sure they'll be fine, though.

I like to actually go to shops and point into quite a full tank and say 'I want that one there'. The guys there probably hate me, they tend to net the wrong one. But to me it's part of the fun and at least you know your having a fish that your happy with, and the P&P is really expensive. Why not ask Your LFS to get the fish for you if you don't see it there.

Trimar is indeed very well known. You'll see their name mentioned in countless threads if you do a forum search. I've ordered from them and can recommend

Just acclimatise your fish well (as you would with all fish) - but be aware that any "freshly shipped" fish are likely to be more fragile than from your lfs.
