Has anyone bought fish online and if so was it a bad decision. It seems like the fish stores buy the same fish everytime and i would enjoy getting one i've never had before.
 
I bought fish on Aquabid twice. One was an African Butterfly that arrived looking absolutely healthy and ffrisky but would not eat for days and died suddenly. Never had luck with that species anyway. The second time was 6 CA cichlids. The guy sent 9, and they are all active and growing. Would do it again if right fish, right price, and reputable dealer.
 
never bought fish online. shipping costs too much. if that doesnt bother you go for it because online has better selections. only you cant see the fish before u buy so never go by the pics.

I've bought fish on ebay but thats about it really ! I also went a collected them myself !

That the only experience i've had !
 
I bought over 75 aquariums and more than 2,000 fish through internet sales. There isn't a pet shop within 2 1/2 hours of where I live and the one's that are 2 1/2 hours one-way driving distance cater to the bread & butter fish keepers. If it weren't for internet sales, all my tanks would contain MS natives instead of the oddballs I prefer.
 
I had great luck online. Depending on what your looking for or how much you want to spend you can find free overnight shipping.
 
ive dealt with pretty much all the sellers on here and theyre a great bunch of guys always quick to answer questions and if your lucky theyll sometimes throw in a freebie
 
is aquascape a good place to buy fish?
