Online Shops?

catherine896 · May 8, 2009

Just wondering what the best online shops are for ordering and couriering fish?

Mainly looking for African Cichlids.

Have tried searching through Google but would prefer a site that was recommended rather than one I found.

UK shops by the way

Thanks

Directtropicals.co.uk

I bought a few fish from them the other day and they arrived well packaged and all of the fish looked very healthy.

ive used trimar before my rotkeil came from there and also wildwoods where i got my L081 very pleased with both . for african cichlids go to tropicalfishfinder there they have tropoicalfish2yourdoor. click on that then browse through wildwoods stocklist they have loads of africans and the quality of their stock is tip top

Some places drug the fish so they don't get stressed. Some times these fish can look dead but really they are just drugged. Yes they are shipped ups but with live animal stickers or handle with care . They pack they very well.

I'm going to take a sick day they day my fish come. They ship them over night or it can take 2 days it depends.

Talk with the place you order from and find out what day they will get to your house and call in sick. Or Use a personal day.
