Good online vendor experiences

Im never checked out fresh water exotics.

I hate getting fish in from a vendor and they are beat up , torn fins and generally beat to crap. Ive had that happen a few times with some of the more notable vendors. But mever wetspot not a split fin

I was eyeing up the geos, but none of the crenicichla seemed too interesting so I passed.

They are mostly a pleco shop but the cichlids they get are generally hard to find and we'll priced.

Had a lince catfish shipped from Florida to California from predatory fins, guy was up at 3am brining the fish to the air port. Even had a mistake the first time he had tried to ship(same early morning time) and ended up releasing the cat back into the pool and re netted a week later to get it to me... thing arrived in perfect shape and is ohhhhh so nice!

AquariumFishSale.com worked for me. I ordered 5 Indian mudskippers (overnight delivery) but they arrived in a cold snap in 2 days. FedEx was late in the delivery. After contacting AFS they refunded my money and then 2 weeks later I was able to reorder and got a successful delivery (still in cold weather, but it came in less than 1 day). I thought one of the mudskippers was going to die (it was sluggish) but 3 weeks into quarantine and all are looking healthy.
I still feel bad about the dead fish got initially though (slowly dying from cold).
