	Buying Fish Online
Cichlid Keeper Big Fish Posts: 368 Kudos: 466 Votes: 304 Registered: 17-Aug-2003	I'm seriously considering for the first time purchasing fish online. I want to get some conga and rummynose tetras because there near to impossible to get here. Now I've looked at a couple of sites,Liveaquaria.com and Aquariumfish.net. For those of you who have bought fish online whom would you recommend most or is there another site that I might possibly want to take a look at. Thanks

Prices are usually lower than online stores or auctions, and quality is usually better as well. You can always try aquabid or ebay but make sure you check fedback before bidding. Bdadawg

Unless they've changed their policy, I believe Liveaquaria.com also has a minimum order requirement.
