I am just curious to know if anyone knows where a good site is that i can buy fish. I look for them online but i never have any luck. atleast not any that i would be willing to give out a CC#. I am looking for another bolivian ram to be specific. the one i have has been lonely for a loooooong time.

Thanx

You could try aquabid.com, make sure to read seller's feedback.

There are lots of reliable sites but many have a minimum purchase requirement and shipping costs for fish are generally high.

I used petsolutions.com for livestock, no problems. The fish were healthy and O% died. They are out of Ohio, they only ship livestock overnight. Drsfostersmith.com have livestock I never had any problems with them.

There are a couple I have used and will never again use, because I don't want to be a a legal matter with them or get Adam and this web site in trouble it will just list them:Fish2U.com Corysrus.com

aquariumfish.net is a good one- high shipping
thatfishplace.com- another good one

I love Aquabid.com. All of the sellers I have delt with have been wonderful, and the fish I've received are always healthy, robust, and fantastic specimens. Often, if a seller is offering something that isn't exactly what you're looking for, you can email them and see if they'll work something out especially for you.

If you just want one or two fish, I'd recommend AnubiasDesign. Mark has a yahoo group as well where he keeps his stock list and he's wonderful about answering questions. Shipping is still about $25-$30 overnight, but to get exactly what you want, sometimes it's worth it!

Hoping that there must be a word for everything I mean...

You could try either ApistoDave or TwoFishGuyz on Aquabid.

Glad to see this info... I'm in an area that makes trips to the fish store a little tuff... hopin buying online will work... although I'm a little afraid that Fed-Ex will screw me up. I bought a monitor online and I got it 5 days late with water damage because they passed it off to a private courrier and it rolled around in the back of his truck!! Of course it didn't work when I got it either! Would hate to see a next day package full of fish come late and battered. Maybe I will buy a bag of feeders online and see what happens haha
