Anyone know of a good place to get fish online. My local store has not been getting anything I like for a long time and I don’t trust PetSmart or petco. I’ve only bought shrimp and snails online once and had a good result but they don’t have what I want either. I was looking at live aquaria but not sure. I live In central Oregon and would prefer to get fish fairly close so the water is somewhat the same. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks, Mark

Very little disease. And if they don't have what you want you can request them to order it and put it on hold when it gets in. I wouldn't go through Live Aquaria if your nervous about Petco... They are like the Petco/Walmart of fish on the internet. At least with local Petco, you can see what you get and if the fish doesn't look good when it comes in, you don't have to buy it. |

Petco is hit or miss IMO. It depends upon who runs the fish department in your local Petco and who they are using as a supplier, as a good supplier makes all the difference in the world. From my experience, by far the best supplier is AquaTropic, so fining a dealer selling fish supplied by them would be a starting point.

I thought I hit it big when I found aquaTropic online until I found out they only sell wholesale. O well, can’t afford the shipping anyway. Think I’ll try PetSmart. They seem to have healthier fish and they have a two week guarantee.
Thanks, Mark

Thanks, Mark Yes, they are a wholesaler, but my reason for providing the link is to still contact them for retailers that might be in your area or that will ship to you Carl |
