Buying Fish Mailorder

[The Saltwater Kid]

Has anyone tried this? Which is the best? Do they provide any gaurantee's about the health, size etc. of the fish? I'll probably buy 95% of my fish through the Pet Advantage but occasionally they don't have the fish i want and i would like to know about possible other avenue's when that happens. Thanks!!!

Hey Justin,

Unfortunately, probably the best online supplier, Flying Fish Express, was recently bought out by another company.

That company is probably still a good place to buy from, but I haven't ordered from them. They offer a 10 day guarantee, and their shipping charges look pretty reasonable.

Another place that has all kinds of cool and rare stuff is The Marine Center. They are a little pricey, but they say that they quarantine all their fish for at least 2 weeks, and make sure they are eating before they ship. I got my flame angel from them and was pleased.

By the way, I am going to be looking for a new home for my flame angel after I set up my 75G. He liked to nibble on my corals, so I'm not going to put him in the new tank. If you'd be interested in trying another one, let me know.
