Default Where to buy fish on-line

I agree that supporting the local fish stores is very important. The only
problem with purchasing locally most stores don't give much of a warranty.
I've purchased locally and took the fish home and had the fish die within
hours. The local place I purchased from refused to do anything about it.
That's hard to swallow when marine fish are expensive. I guess it left me a
"sour taste". That is kind of unusal though as most stores give at least a
several day warranty. The warranty to me is very important but that's my 2
cents. I still though do support other local fish stores sometimes if I see
something I want. To offset shipping cost when ordering on the internet I
usually wait until I get a bigger order together.

Hi,

I recently started my 125 gallon FOLR.

I have the following fish:
1 yellow tang
3 green chromis
1 juv koran angel

I'd like to add a bunch more fish. Where's the best place to get it.
The local fish stores are too too expensive.

Thanks

Just remember that you will have to add shipping costs to everything you
purchase mail order, plus you will not get to see livestock to make sure
it is healthy before you purchase. I am biased, but I always suggest
purchasing locally rather than mail order unless you are ordering a lot of
livestock so you can spread the shipping costs around. Come up with what
you want, including shipping and see if your local stores will match it.
Without local fish stores this hobby will go away since they bring most
new hobbiests into the hobby.
