When you can't find them locally,where do you get your fish.The only place I have ever ordered from is Liveaquaria.I did not have any problems with them,but they don't carry the fish I am looking for right now.
The 2 fish I am looking for are a silver aro(liveaquaria has that) and a pair of rotkeil sevs(liveaquaria does not carry them).Since I know I will have to order the sevs(never see them locally),I might as well get the aro with them.But I cannot find both fish at the same place,and would rather not have to pay for shipping twice.
I plan on stocking a fair amount of fish in a 180 soon,and to tell the truth,if I am going to have to order fish,I think I am just going to order all the fish I want,even if I can get them locally.I figure this way they can all go in the tank at once.
So what are some online places that are good for ordering fish?
Besides Liveaquaria.

If my LFS doesn't have it... they order it for me. I may pay more then ordering online. But I always can get what I want. and more often then not if it comes in bad.. they send it back, and get me another NP... having worked in the industry around here.. I know what can and can't be done. Though when I finally get my bigger tanks and wanna get a Tigrinis (sp?) I'll go threw a vendor highly reccomended. my lfs wants 400$ to special order one for me.
and I won't be in a rush to get it. I think it boils down to patience as well. atm his Bichir prices are nutters as well.. 100$ for endli's and ornates, babies. I also make a habit of buying almost exclusively from one place.. so when I do want my exotics and my $$$ stuff he's more then willing to keep my business. BUt then I also bat my lashes and say "please...." real sweet like
