|  Websites to order fish
I was wondering how well order fish from the internet works out. Have people had good experience with this? Also, if so, do you guys recommend any good sites to order from? Thanks again

Usually good condition nless FedX screws up. If DOA, dies within 14days they resend with no complaints.
Follow their acclimation rules posted on their site.
Never used any other mail order site.

I'd recommend saltwaterfish.com
Ordered a few times and had everything come in perfectly. Also shipping is free but don't be fooled it actually cost $20 to ship whatever you want to buy. They have a processing fee and a gasoline fee.
Also, if you order fish I would quarantine them and make sure that they eat and that all is well. I mean nothing sucks more then a fish that won't eat and then you can't catch it. I would say make a small 10 gallon quarantine.
O yea the other thing is that they give you a few guaranties, one is that everything will arrive alive and that it will stay living for 15 days. If not they refund you your money. Just read through the return policy, so you known all the specifics.
I have ordered some Tangs, cleaner wrasse, mushrooms, polyps, cleaner shrimp, snails, hermits. Pretty much the works.
Just my opinion but, Good Luck

Sincerely

I have used liveaquaria with great results I still have some livestock that I bought from them over a year ago . They have great packaging and it gets to your door quick. I would only do this when the temperatures are moderate however the extreme cold or heat could be a problem. I also did this when I knew I would have someone home to recieve the package and could get the stuff in a drip bucket quickly.
