Getting fish from overseas

[Andrew1645]

I am setting up a new 180-gallon tank and I recently got in touch with an exporter from Malaysia, the prices are great but the shipping cost is high. Any recommendations or suggestions if anyone has any experience getting fish from overseas .
I am looking for clown loaches, cardinal tetra, Serpa tetra.

All those fish should be available locally so not sure why you are considering importing them.

100% agree with this.

I was just surfing online and came across the company, plus I am looking to do like 60 cardinal tetra and loaches along with some rainbows. if you know a place where I can get good prices, please share. I have never gone that large so setting up the tank i am trying to be frugal

Ha! Just realized this was an older thread, but, yes, why get such commonly available fish shipped from overseas... ?
