Has anyone ever ordered stuff from them, the site looks very nice, kinda time consuming to navigate but the prices are amazing! 1.99 for an oscar!! .10 for feeder guppys walmart cant even touch that.
Nope, I havent but I know a friend who has. He bought a trio of dwarf gouramis from there and they're still my favorite thing to stare at in his tank. Such finnage!
Take a look at the shipping info. By the time you pay $40 to ship your $2 oscar, it's not such a great deal after all. I'm glad I have a couple of really good LFS's near by.
eh? an oscar and a green texas cichlid in a 55? i dunno if id do that myself...oscars prefer to be alone in a 55 gallon unless the other fish is its mate...and clown loaches with an oscar is a bad idea if you ask me. but oscars dont mind plecos
It's really not worth ordering fish online unless it is a rare or expensive fish. Shipping starts at $35, but goes up quite a bit the larger the box is, due to weight. A few small fish will be $35, but a couple of larger fish will be more like $50 or $60.
Also worth noting is a company's policy regarding DOA shipments. The site mentioned has a 7 day guarantee, but some don't. I would also be hesitant shipping live fish during the heat of summer or the cold of winter. Even if the fish arrive alive, they may be unduly stressed and not survive.
Most boxes of discus these days go for about $70. Its great when you find someone to ship for $55. I i was gonna order fish online i'd go to a breeder and not a wholsale business. Usually people will include a heat pack if needed and if asked for.
Such finnage!
