Where do you buy your fish

well really the only fish i cant find locally are some of the small nano fish like Phoenix Rasbora and would probably get them from inverts factory but this probably doesn't really help you.
I've never ordered fish online but a lot of people have been successful. If I don't get my fish from one of the local stores, I get them from people I know. I've swapped fish at a fish club meetings or at fish auctions.
I have had a LFS order them for me before,they can usually get them within a week.But I have had some emperor tetras on order right now for over a month. It might come down to me not being able to add all the fish I want at once,which is no big deal.
I visit aquabid.com, and have ordered snails etc from there in the past I believe, but typically my LFS I used to work at orders fish in for me. They ordered in a sea goblin for me, an angler fish, etc. And that way I don't have to worry about shipping, and I know they give me discounts since I used to work there.
I just ordered some cardinals and celebes rainbows from tropical fish distributers (tfd) on aquabid. They charge $20 dollars for Priority shipping but you can combine orders and you can do it all on the phone.

finkids make me happy :-)
i've only had one fish not bought locally (from lfs or members of my local forum) and i got him from Spencer Jack in Winnipeg. awesome customer service and shipping ended up being free because it was on a group order from my local forum. so $10 for the fish and $5 to the local member for his trouble in getting the order coordinated. not a bad deal i'd say! lol.
