List of sites 2 purchase fish online

[florit0274]

I was wondering if any of you knew any other places to purchase live fish online. There are very few pet stores around here, so many species are hard to come by.

Particularly rainbow fish. I am in the process of finding a 75-125 gallon tank.

Any sites besides liveaquaria and ****************?

I have never ordered fish online because of the crazy shipping charges, but have heard really good things about www.liveaquaria.com/. I also know that there are some tropical fish available at www.aquabid.com as well as eBay. Hope this helps!!

Liveaquaria.com is awful expensive, for the price of the fish from there, I may as well pay 20$ on gas and drive out of town to get fish from a nice pet store!

Try www.**************** I have had good success with them. Found prices to be fair. Shipping is a flat rate, so you are better off buying a bunch of fish rather than one here or there

Fish online.

I have bought most of my fish online and had very good luck doing it. Have only ever lost otos or corys. My experiences on Aquabid have been very good with anubiasdesign being great.

Just got a 150 that I need to put together and setup. Looking at buying from Thatpetplace.com.

anyone know of any others? **************** seems reasonable, but I'd like to shop around.

fish compatibility

I was wondering about my tank i am recently purchasing. It will be at least 75 gallon in size.. perhaps even a 125 gallon.

These are the fish I want, and those of you who know, tell me which of these, or all of them, whatever will do OK.

I want a large pleco,
Cichlids, (what kind)
Large Bala Shark/s
6 Tinfoil Barbs (large)
Angel Fish (3 or 4?)
Giant Danios
Discuss (maybe a few)
Maybe some pacu's
LOTS of various rainbow fish.
Large catfish
Perhaps knife, Eels

maybe a few kissing gouramis? (most of the community fish im naming are large, assuming maybe they could hold their own)

perhaps some bottom feeders?
what about 6 tiger barbs?

any cool ideas?

How could I do this? Any ideas?

Any ideas on a tank layout?

A shoal of rainbowfish with some corys and otos would be a really good and lively setup. The bulk of the fish you mention are unrealistic in a 75g or 125g. They just get too big.

--pleco-should be ok depends on what species and what tankmates you have
--cichlids-not a cichlid guy, but if you want cichlids you should do a cichlid only tank
--bala sharks-need to be in groups and in a large tank, not suitable for a 75, better in the 125, remember they can hit 1'
--discus-very picky about water conditions, should ideally be kept in a species tank with tankmates carefully chosen to work around the discuses needs
--pacu-too large for 99% of home aquaria
--large catfish- depends on the species, there are countless types out there

and,

rehobothaquatics.com has great fish, specializes in africans

discus

A second that on the discus. They don't belong in a tank with those other fish. preferrable by themselves or small cardinal tetras after you gain experience with them.
