Has anyone on the east side of the U.S. done recent online fish orders? I know they add heaters but in Michigan it’s negative temps at night. What’s been your experience lately? Looking to order from live aquaria if anyone has any reviews on them.

Any online recommendations?

I recommend you wait.
 
Agree. Not worth the risks with temperatures like this.

I’d be a little worried about live aquaria as well with their recent disappearance and reappearance.
 
I agree with everyone else.....I wouldn't even consider having fish shipped with the negative temps. Heat packs aren't going to work when it is this cold.

  • I haven’t really considered this before
