Online fish places

[Fresh04]

Hi all!

Has anyone ordered fish online? If so, any luck? I was just curious, because I see sites that Drs. Foster and Smith and That Pet Place run, and I was just wondering what experiences anyone had with them. There are some LFS around, but sometimes they have some bad batches of fish in terms of infections, deaths, etc. So I'm exploring any alternatives!

Any recommendations and places?

its expensive to ship like 30-40 dollars for a box overnight with like 1gal water in it.
What are you looking?

I have never bought anything from them but **************** charges a flat shipping rate of $25 no matter how many fish you buy. They seem to have a decent selection of FW fish.

They are jacking you on fish prices then actual shipping has been over $30 every time I ship fish even one small bag costs that.

OMG their prices are like 25% over LFS retail
I can cut those in half and have 400 tanks of fish to chose from if I only had a site like that

They might be more expensive but for some it might be good (or any other fish place online) since they might not live near a good LFS.
