UK online orders

[Sottish_Reefer]

Anyone here from the UK order any livestock online? I have been thinking about it for a while but don't know if there are suppliers I should avoid?

My understanding is that any time livestock crosses boarders, CITES permits are required. That being said, this may work in your favor. Fly by night "vendors" probably don't have the necessary documents in order to be able to ship internationally.
By starting with some of the major online presence companies like Live Aquaria, and asking directly if they will ship to your country, you will hopefully get your answer.
Beyond Live Aquaria, I would suggest checking the Sponsor Forum here and reaching out to them in kind.

I’ve used mailordercorals who are based in the UK for corals and clean up crew and they are very good and reliable.

I’ve spent 100’s (possible 1000! Lol) buying coral frags when I started filling my system.

On the rare occasion something perish in transit, they would just add to next order, but this only happened once.

Thanks. That is one of the suppliers I was looking at. Another was charterhouse aquatics.

I was emailing someone from ecomarine (I think that is the name of the company) I follow them on Instagram and charterhouse get their livestock from them. Apparently they QT livestock before you get it.

Hi was just wondering if you QT your fish and if you do what medications do you used for internal parasites?

I just see prazipro on here all the time but I don't think you get it here in the uk

No I have never quarantined any live stock, but the LFS I use tell me they get their stock from TMC who run their own quarantine programs.
