My LFS isn't very well stocked when it comes to angelfish - searching through the web have come across House of Angels - anybody have any experience with this outfit - anybody recommend something else - am in Pennsylvania - general thoughts when it comes to purchasing fish through the mail? - thanks much

Where in Pennsylvania are you? I'm from there too, and I actually know a few LFSs with great quality fish (and angels, for that matter). I've never had to mail order.

I'm in the suburbs outside of Philly - I've been out to That Fish Place in Lancaster which is a great, amazing store with excellent staff and selection but it is a 90 minute drive - at Petco the majority of the tanks have dead fish and the staff knows nothing - at World Wide Aquarium the staff is also pretty bad and they don't even guarantee their fish -

Yeah, the petcos around here suck. I live in aroun the same area, I think. Ever heard of Frazer Zoo? It's a little place in Frazer Plaza, depending on where you are it may be a worthwhile drive. If you talk to the guy in charge of the fish there, he can order in whatever you want I got a pair of beautiful adult angels from there. They're really knowledgable and know their animals.
