Live fish mail order purchase

[racin2438]

What are some places with good quality fish and how much risk is there in mail order .

And any replacement issues

It seems UPS, FEDEX, USPS

Is only delivery options and I have seen and received damaged boxes and marine pod's , Zooa's.


Seem like they play football with boxes.

Personally live aquira has done me right so far and packaging was perfect

Live Aquaria and Diver's Den. Blue Zoo Aquatics is up there as well, though my first and only transaction left a horrible taste in my mouth (shipping was delayed, fish arrived and died within 24 hours of going into the QT). Shipping wasn't their issue, and I didn't expect a refund back after seeing the condition the tangs arrived in (super stressed and already covered in ich from being bagged for 3 days).

I have ordered from Live Aquaria/Diver's Den several times and have had a great experience each time. My first order was a little rough since the fish did not make it, but they made it right immediately. The fish always readily eat. I have also ordered from Blue Zoo and have had great experiences. I have never lost a fish from them due to their error.
