  1. I have ordered online fish and have been trouble-free 80% of the time, but fish suffer a lot of stress during the shipping. Another problem with ordering online is that you always see a pretty picture of a fish in the website, but you never get what you see, unless you purchase of the divers den in www.liveaquaria.com (Expensive). I recommend purchasing in your local aquarium store and that way you get to choose by yourself, avoid shipping costs, and establish a long term relationship with other aquarium hobbyists and even store owners or managers. Best of luck.


  2. It is better going to the store and buy the fish cuz the petstore will probaly just pick one out and dunno if it is sick or not...so I am just telling u...its better going to the store than ordering it online. You have to see if the fish is active and have wierd stuff like bubbles on their skin.

  3. just go fishing

  4. i like liveaquaria.com , but my first choice would be a local fish store.  In the store you can pick exactly what you want to put in your tank.  Also, the shipping costs make up for the money that you save by purchasing the fish online.  

    Im not sure if any site has a longer warranty besides 14 days, whereas a fish store will most likely replace your fish if it dies as long as you provide them with a water sample from your tank

  5. saltwaterfish.com

    vividaquariums.com

    liveaquaria.com (has bad info on tank sizes etc, but good stock) especially the diver's den (what you see is what you get)
