Aquarium Advice Freak
If I were to buy fish off the internet can someone recommend a reputable fish supplier?
I am sure there are some decent internet suppliers out there. But everyone who responds to this post and the author ponder this.........Internet aquarium sales is slowly putting our local fresh and saltwater shops out of business. They cannot compete with the prices. Wouldnt you rather establish a good relationship with your local specialist and know the fish you are buying have been eating and are not carrying some disease that could wipe your tank out? I realize money is tight for all of us but you will NEVER catch me buying live stock that I cannot see before buying, it is worth the extra money to me! Support your local business! Just a thought...................
Some of us don't HAVE locally owned and operated stores. Only thing close to me at those of the petco petsmart variety and i refuse to buy from them due to past experiences. The others even in a local vacinity are 45 minutes to an hour away. I don't always have that kind of time and they sometimes can't get what I want. I'm all for supporting mom and pop stores...when I have one to support.I am sure there are some decent internet suppliers out there.
