Looking for a good fish vendor

[Halal Hotdog]

Just spent an hour looking over fishy buisniness, love their site, great stock list and very cheap prices. If I can’t get ahold of humblefish (just because I feel I owe him for giving back to the community) I think I’ll try FB next.

Has anyone had anything die from FB and had luck making good on the refund?

One more thing. I was worried from what I read about the ph and ammonia of mailed fish that I was always just match the specific gravity, floated them, and added without dripping.

BUT every single fish vendor (including FB) recommends you drip the fish, in some cases, for an hour! Am I making too much of this? I’d really love some input on if those who receive fish in the mail drip them or not

Checkout their guarantee. Maybe I'm spoiled by LiveAquaria, but FB only offers refund on DOA. Deaths covered by guarantee after arriving alive is store credit and you no longer qualify for free shipping. DOA from store credit is not covered by any guarantee. LA is more expensive, but the peace of mind is worth more to me.

That’s a fair point. I have been refunded for everything I have ever lost from them without question. I reckon that’s about all you can ask of a company

Check this website out below. Specialty fish and pre quarantined. I suggest continuing your own QT progress in addition, but great livestock to choose from.

I was told by someone at BRS that this is where they get most of their fish from. Good enough for me.
