When you can't find them locally,where do you get your fish.The only place I have ever ordered from is Liveaquaria.I did not have any problems with them,but they don't carry the fish I am looking for right now.
The 2 fish I am looking for are a silver aro(liveaquaria has that) and a pair of rotkeil sevs(liveaquaria does not carry them).Since I know I will have to order the sevs(never see them locally),I might as well get the aro with them.But I cannot find both fish at the same place,and would rather not have to pay for shipping twice.

I plan on stocking a fair amount of fish in a 180 soon,and to tell the truth,if I am going to have to order fish,I think I am just going to order all the fish I want,even if I can get them locally.I figure this way they can all go in the tank at once.

So what are some online places that are good for ordering fish?
Besides Liveaquaria.
 
Liveaquaria gets two thumbs up from me, but another place you might want to look into is www.aquabid.com -- they usually sell rare and exotic fish in there for good prices, but make sure to check the seller feedback first. Other than those two places I don't have much experience buying fish online, but I've heard of other good places and I'm sure people have more recommendations ;P

I've thought of that too,but the chances of me getting all the fish I want for a 180 all at the same time from here seems pretty unlikely.

Thanks for the suggestion :)

The thing with going on aquabid is,I won't be able to buy all the fish from the same buyer.I thought of that too,and can actually find most of the fish I want,but to pay for shipping to 6 or 7 people would be very expensive.
There are 7 different types of fish I am looking for to stock this tank.
Thanks for the suggestion :)
 
I've got about 10 lfs in the immediate area, of varying quality, I've also bought from the classifieds here.
 
I buy from Aquarium City in Los Angeles.
