IdahoSaltGirl 2 Report post Posted June 25 Hello Fish Friends! My local shops around here are not very convenient nor stocked well. I wanted to try and order online. I noticed we had some online sites on banners on our website. Does anyone have experience just buying fish out right? What website do you recommend? Thanks!!

tanknovice 83 Report post Posted June 25 I have never bought a fish on line I know that you are in Muncie but a trip to one of the local Fish stores will be worth your time Most of them can order what you want and you can at least look at them before putting in your quarantine 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ryansweet 202 Report post Posted June 26 I agree with Mike. Make a list of what you’re looking for, call one of the local shops and ask them what they can get, and for how much. If no one can get you what you’re looking for, then try online vendors. But I’m almost positive that one of the locals can get just about anything you want. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gonzo620 152 Report post Posted June 26 Yeah would definitely recommend you put your own eyes on a specimen you’d like. I’ve also never ordered fish online but my time on the forums has shown signs. Blue Zoo Aquatics is a trusted site. https://www.bluezooaquatics.com/index.asp Live Aquaria is also good but only from the Divers Den. https://m.liveaquaria.com/diversden/index.cfm?cmpid=IB-_-HP-_-061719_HMP_HERO_DD.jpg-_-mH2 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

PetesFolly 55 Report post Posted June 27 It's worth the drive. You will know exactly what your getting and you can ask how the fish has been doing since arrival. Is it eating? Does it look stressed? Etc. Ryan makes a great point in that you can work with your local vendors since they do have the ability to order specific fish for you. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
