Ok I need advise...I am interested in purchasing a flowerhorn off of aquabid but I have never ordered online...how safe is it? And what is th cheapest way to do this?
 
Very safe if you buy from the right buyers. I suggest mr.fh, rainnybetta, and mick kamfa all of which can be found on aquabid and flowerhorncraze.com. Trans ship them to Julie @ flowerhornsfrombeyond.com (she's the best and the cheapest.) She charges a $2 import fee, and a holding fee per inch of fish but it's cheap if you order fry. She ships next day for about $40. Be ready to de-worm and treat the fish for parasites when you get them. They arrive fine most of the time but not always. Prazipro or metro will usually do the job just keep the tanks warm with lots of aeration and the recommended dose of salt.

No problem. It's just a process you need to learn if you want quality fish without paying the markup fee. I forgot to add that most of the sellers are open to best offers on their fish. Prices have really came down on quality flowerhorns lately so don't beat them up to bad. I don't ship fish so I only usually sell to locals.

Yeah I used to collect new worlds + flowerhorns but it's came down to mostly just flowerhorns lately. I have 1 fenestratus right now, and 1 synspilumXparrot, some red monkeys flowerhorns (lots of vieja in them) and a female rose queen flowerhorn but that is it.
 
Thanks man...Can send pics of your Viejas. I realy enjoy them and plus they are cheaper then FH. How far away from Chicago are u?
 
@Camp, och thats a bad news im very far from michigan.. Btw thanks for those sellers we'll try to negotiate them asap.

@Adam, im sorry if i posting the same in your thread instead of making my own thread. Thanks
 
right seller makes everything easy!
