I want to order some fish online (drsfostersmith.com - the LFS's near me are all terrible) but I have one or two issues I need tor resolve first. My situation is this: I have an empty 10g tank right now, and I want to order one Blue Ram and one Dwarf Gourami to live in the tank.
1. The problem is, you need to order at least $30 worth of merchandise before they will ship to you. Is there anything else I can order that would live well in that tank along with the Blue Ram and the Gourami? Maybe like some raspboras or dannios? The problem is that those fish are pretty cheap, so I would have to buy like 5 or so to fill the minimum purchase requirement in order for them to ship.
I'm even considering getting two of the Glowlight Dannios, which I know are ridiculously overpriced at $7.99, just to fulfill the buying minimum and to not overstock my tank. What do you think? Maybe a cory or two? I really don't know what to do here.
2. So my second question is, is it worth ordering from there, since the shipping won't be cheap ($35!!), to ensure that I get healthy breeds of the fish that I want to keep? What do you think? Just looking for some input here, not asking you to make my decision for me.
Thanks, guys! Have a good one.
