What kinda fish are you thinking of buying?? I'd say depending on the fish, different people have different advice.
I have bought Jack Demseys(ebjd)from California and Angelfish from Florida.Always arrived fine,and I live in New York.Main thing is you have to be home to recieve package or have it sent to your Post Office to pick up.Some fish must be sent next day,others can be shipped for 2 day arrival.Like bb6 said it depends on the fish.Sometimes you can haggle over the price,especially if you buy in quantity.Then there is shipping you have to pay for.Althoughg there are some sellers who have free shipping.Check Aquabid,thats where I get my stock from.
I've bought fish online several time an only one showed up DOA. The company was super cool about it gave me a refund that same day. I'd just make sure you do next day delivery. most companies guarantee live arrival if you do. An I wouldn't pay more thank $40 for shipping

Thank you all for the advice I really been looking into some of the very nice plecos I've been seeing.
buying online can be a hit or miss thing. most important thing in my opinion. is a good rep source. and seller guarantees on DOA. and to make sure they provide pics of the actual fish you're buying. and a seller that has good communications.
