Where to buy fish online?

jettex · 12/26/2011, 08:53 PM

Looking for recommendations of where people buy fish online with links if possible. LFS are 30 miles away so that about covers the cost of shipping. Not looking for exotic fish just everyday hardy fish.

I've had good success with liveaquaria.

I've never bought anything from these guys (I'm a newbie) but they get very good reviews on here:

http://www.liveaquaria.com/

Shipping charges are pretty high, however, so most people will find other aquarists in their area who are also buying online in order to get the order total up to $225 to qualify for free shipping.

Good luck!!

Liveaquaria is best

I've used LiveAquaria & NYAquatics and had excellent results with both. I've also used Reefs2Go several times as they are local to me (support your local companies) and wouldn't use them again. I don't like the way they pack inverts and I've had 2 DOA shipments, one they took care of and the 2nd (which was a big order for several people) they would only do a 50% replacement.

I've used www.saltwaterfish.com several times without any problems. If the fish die within 21 days they will give you a credit.
