ok so when i go to our LFS they have repeats all the time i live in a very small area and want to get some really nice looking cichlids. who do i go to? i live in upstate new york and really don't want to travel anymore then four hours from where i live. i have never order fish online and the shipping is high. i still haven't found a good site to order any either. if you have anygood sites hook me up please :O)
 
I like to go to LFS's, so i can see what i am buying, but i have ordered from people i saw selling on aquabid.com.

well i have 4 petcos, a petsmart, super pets, bob's tropicals, house of tropicals, ocean environments, AniMall and if that dont do it, i'll special order through a friend.
 
Petsmart, SuperPets, Petco... only reason why? The individual lfs charge way too much, or don't have much to chose from, and I can't ever seem to find local breeders
 
So what type of fish do you want? Check out aquabid to see if anyone near you is selling, if so you can ask them. Have you asked your local fish clubs?

Also for shipping you really have to buy say 8-9 fish at least to have it make sense. But if you do that then you get some great fish for a lot cheaper, plus usually bonus fish or extra sizes depending.
 
dont buy online unless you buy in bulk. shipping will cost you a fortune

Desperate causes, call for drastic measures. including ridiculous shipping rates, Ive spent just as much in shipping as i did for my very first Dat!
 
I have the fortunate ability to go to my lfs dykemyster.com.(well if you call 1 1/2 hours one way local).
