Burmese Border Loach

This is a beauitiful fish. I wanna get a few of these, but my LFS can't get them. So I may have to order online. Has anyone ever ordered a fish online? Do you recommend it?

If you do a search, you will see there are loads of threads about buying fish online Loads of people do it, but it's obviously more stressful & also risky for the fish - as opposed to buying from a shop.

Take care this time of year with the cold weather - if you are getting fish shipped they will have to have a heatpack.

You might be better off throwing a wider net first: ask other stores or say where you are and perhaps someone knows of a place that has Kubotai's around you. They are not exactly rare right now.

I can recommend Trimar, and they have polkadots in stock Course, only any use if you're in the UK!

This afternoon I was in the little "6 tanks and a budgie cage" type pet shop in Helsingør. They had B. kubotai in there! If they've got them there, I'd of thought they'd have them everywhere.

You don't say where you are which makes helping you somewhat difficult.

If you cannot find them locally, http/www.franksaquarium.com has them. (I currently have > 50 animals from this vendor, albeit not Kubotai's).
