Best online place to buy fish?

[chk4tix]

I need to buy 13 or 14 fish because I had a major problem about 3 months ago and unfortunately lost all my fish. So after doing do diligence to ensure my tank is safe again, I would like to make a large order. The problem I have is I really only know of two online places. (fostersSmith and Saltwaterfish). The other problem is neither seem to have all the fish I need and I really only want to make one order if I can help it. Does anyone have a recommendation of some place I can send the list of fish I want and have them ship them to me?

Thanks

I like Blue Zoo Aquatics for fish.

FosterandSmith or Blue zoo. I have tried a couple of other places online but have the best luck with these 2. F&S offer a 14 day and Blue zoo offer a 7 day. Be careful with the ones that only offer LA. Been there done that, I have also used NY Aquatic they now offer 14 day guarantee.

Umm that might be your problem.... how big is the tank your putting 14 fish into at once?

I was wondering if someone was going to ask this question. I hope you are thinking of making multiple orders or you have a very large tank to add 13 or 14 fish at one time. Those fish would have very little survival rate. That would most likely cause a spike and you would lose those fish.

bluezoo, free shipping on $149 or more and even if you need a ton of boxes its only 14.95 i think for each additional box.

15 fish is way to many to add at one time even on a 150 gallon tank. think one fish every month or two. everytime you add a fish you have to let your biolocical fiter catch up. not only that but you nearly gurenteed to have an issue with ich or other bacterial infection like red sore's form the stress of so many new fish.

I would highly advise against ordering 15 at once even in a large tank. Also I would highly recommend QTing all new fish in order to prevent repeating any mistakes

You can contact one of our sponsors (I've done great orders with Mobile Aquatics), or I also like Divers Den (Live Aquaria).

Thanks for all the concerns, these fish are actually for two different tanks, one 75g and one 150g tank. The issue I had was related to a bad ph probe and my kalk reator trying to resolve the low ph. Unfortunately, my ph wasnt low and this resulted in the loss of my fish. I have added a bunch of fish all at one time, when I originally did this (5 years ago) I added 20 fish at one time. I let them swim in a big copper treated tank for a few weeks and switch them to my displays after that. I didn't have any problems.

Now I have my reservations about getting all of these fish at once, even though I have done it before, what would be the max number of fish to add at one time. Just trying to make the cost of shipping worth it.

Richard and Frank come highly recommended.
By Myself and many others on this board. Just send them your recipe and they will find your ingredients.

I also buy from Divers Den.

Many sites will wave shipping charges once you order goes past 3-4 hundred dollars.
