Theres only a $5.00 dollar difference in the shipping
livefishdirect is 39.99 and liveaquaria is 34.99
I am trying to find a place that will guarantee trios and livefishdirect is the only place i have found thus far.
still, even if there is only a $5 difference, if you are spending that much money on shipping you may as well get it from a place that is known to be reliable and has a great return policy for dead fish.
I haven't used them personally but I have heard goods things about the quality of the fish. I found them on aquabid and they had a very high rating. I believe they also have a live arrival guarantee, plus the gender thing. If I had to order fish I would order from them. Liveaquarie is way more expensive despite having cheaper shipping. Now I'm just comparing mbuna prices since that's what I own. But there is a significant price difference plus the gender selection makes choose live fish direct.
