Buying fish online
I have seen many websites that you can buy fish from. Are there any cites that are most reccommended to use or should I just stay away from it all together and buy my fish elsewhere? I dont have a car at the moment and thought this might be convienent. Any input would be great!

Re: Buying fish online
Aquabid and liveaquaria are both excellent starting places as well as Drs. Brown and Smith. One place to stay away from is Azgardens. Very expensive and poor quallity fish.

Re: Buying fish online
I agree with Susan. What fish are you looking for as there are forums out there that alot of breeders are on that sell and ship fish.

Re: Buying fish online
I agree with Archer.. State the type of fish you are looking for and I'm sure someone among us can recommend a breeder/seller... Aqua and Live both have good and bad sellers. I'll not talk down a particular seller but will give a thumbs up to those I trust. Bill in Va.

Re: Buying fish online
You can also check swampriveraquatics.com for most livebearers, One of the best sellers I have ever dealt with.

Re: Buying fish online
All I use is Internet ordered and shipped to the door. It's more expensive, however it is a better grade of fish and a better selection. JMO

Re: Buying fish online
I'm a member of a Fla. fish club too.. One of their members does a ton of selective breeding of Swords and Mollies...I'll snag his email addy. Two of my friends are the admins of the Fla club and think very highly of the guy. Bill in Va.
