buying livestock from online brokers

[dug5921]

i just wondered if anyone has successfully (or not) purchased fish or corals from those online discount stores. i want to buy a certain fish, and my local store is having a hard time getting ahold of it. would it be wise to buy over the net? all first-hand knowledge would be appreciated. thanks.

I've had good success with Fly Fish Express:
http://www.ffexpress.com
I've puchased both fish and coral and both have been in good condition upon arrival.

I have purchased fish from cquarium.com and themarinecenter.com and been happy with them.

hi dug,
i just got an order in this morning from Premium Aquatics:
snails assorted
b/w hermits
skunk shrimp (little fella but very lively)
2 clarkii's
pulsing xenia (looked really shrivelled in bag but acclimated well and now have really strectched out nicely) (not pulsing yet- 8hours out of bag so far)
and lastly 3 gorgonias (purple blade and orange) they're both looking good too.

so from first person experience, i'd say it's safe to go with premium aquatics.

po
