	Live Shipments
PeaceB2U Hobbyist Posts: 64 Kudos: 48 Votes: 0 Registered: 25-Jul-2004	I'm preparing to set up a marine aquarium for the first time but I do not live anywhere near a pet store that carries marine fish. In my online research, I came across a site called liveaquaria.com and discovered that live marine fish could be shipped to your home. Has anyone had experience with doing this? If so did you encounter any problems?

They also have a 14 day guarentee for Saltwater fish which is great! [span class="edited"][Edited by Jamie 2004-07-26 10:22][/span] "Party it up, Drink it down"

I was purchasing fish I couldn't find at any lfs so the cost was worth it to me. No problems with any of the fish I received. ~~~~~~~~~~~~ There is water at the bottom of the ocean

Be prepared to drive out to the airport and pick up your shipment right when it arrives. I've never seen fishes delivered to your door. If they are delivered to your door, they may die on the hot truck. All fishes should be guarantied to arrive alive and healthy. ________________________________________ The calming qualities of a good aquarium are irrefutable

Picking up at the airport is an option for some places if you want it to be. Really the only thing I've seen shipped that way is LR, because it's much cheaper to just send it air freight.
