Mailorder fish?

There are several mail order fish stores out there such as www.liveaquaria.com www.aquacon.com and many others. Is this a safe way to go as far as getting fish and other tank goods?

Ordering fish online is a hit or miss. You have to remember that the fish go from ocean to tank to plane to tank in USA to tank in store. All within a 48 hour period. Most store don`t even give a guarantee. Go for whom others have had a good experience.

liveaquaria is top notch, stay away from aquacon, do a search or check the vendor feed back forum

reefhotspot.com is the best I have never had a bad shipment and all the fish I have order to date is still alive, plus they give a 14 day guarantee
