Buying Fish Ofline

[LetsBeFriends]

i am looking to start a new tank, and my lfs have good fish, but the website http/www.liveaquaria.com/ has some really great and rare fish that i would love to have, has anyone ever bought fish offline before and could let me know if there are concerns with it, and also is the website i mentioned a good one, and if not what are some others, i live on the east coast of the US if that means anything

I have been to that site and have been wondering too. How do they transport the fish ?

anybody have an answer to my original question(s)??? any help appreciated

 

[Faythee]

Thank you for the link. I may give it a try !

Am wondering of other peoples experience with shipping though ???

I ship fish year round (right now its only the highest quality carrier because of the weather), I have had one DOA in my whole experience, and it was because of a long delay in shipping.

I also have purchased fish and shrimp many a times with no issues at all, again check the seller and his feedback and ask around.


If it is a reliable seller, then there usually wont be an issue, just ask around and do your research.

Good luck,
