Well my dad (lucky62) ordered 18 fish from them, and all but one died in about two weeks. Most had ammonia burn, 3 were DOA, 3-4 had ulcers, and most had internal parasites, the packaging bags also reeked of decay. Lucky tried so hard to keep the poor things alive, I'm sure he'll comment on this if he gets a chance
I wouldn't recommend them

Actually it was 16 fish , all small fish , 5 nannacara [ 1 D.O.A ], all bent , emaciated and couldn't swim well , the ones that lived a couple of days anyway ., 5 curviceps , all appeared fine , but a couple had swelled scales, on further inspection , I also ordered 6 croaking guoramis [ 2 D.O.A ] ,all had ulcers.
As my son already mentioned .


These fish were most likely kept in horrible living conditions . or conducive to death

Cost $40 to ship to me in New York from Atlanta , this is not refundable .

All of these fish were sickly , most likely shipped that way , there is no way this could have happened in an overnight shipment , I went back and fourth with these people about the condition of the fish and the death rate as well , they have no problem refunding the money for a dead fish , as long as you send detailed photos .

The web page went on to say things about years of experience , and how only healthy stock is selected for shipment , I.M.E , this is a load of crap .

Also the bags smelled like death when I opened them , all the bags .

All I wanted was a chance with some healthy fish , that's all , instead I got crap

1 croacker lived , I did daily water changes .
I could go on , believe me .

In all I've had 3 on line ordering experiences , live aquaria was a good one , another for plants , I don't remember where, was O.K. , but aquarium stuffers bit it big time , I recommended they change the name to toilet stuffers .

This was based on my experience , others may have good things to say , not me .

I'd keep looking if I were you , if you have good luck let me know where .

Does anyone know a good place for ordering fish esp. bettas in the UK? Apart from Trimar, it gives me a headache and there are no pics of the fish unless you are lucky.

Hi...I've ordered twice from the site below. All my fish are still alive after 4 months. The shipping and some prices are a little pricey, but, they have a lot you can't find at the lfs. They arrrive in special solutions with a 'heater' and are guaranteed for 2 weeks. SH
