Considering Ordering....

[ECCO_]

All my LFS carry fish that are far from being healthy. I hate this, because people should have to pay good money for sick fish. So my question is, should I consider ordering fish?
And is ordering better in any way?
Thanks-

No bad implications really, no. Most places will replace fish that dont make it alive. Only drawback is shipping will cost you dearly.

Yes, as Rynofasho has said, its the postage that's the main problem I find.

waaaaaaaa

Theres must be something around. Your going to pay about £10 delivery. Use it on petrol and drive out and look.

Exactly. I will soon be listing some Honduran Red Point Cichlids that i am looking for 50p each for... nice and cheap. Then add on £9-10 postage and they can become very expensive indeed!

Deals like this are good but you need to be ordering a lot to be making it cheaper than going to your LFS.

Yeah exactly!

Sorry minnnt, I meant that in the best possible way to the OP and when I re-read what I put I thought it looked to me like I was putting down your future sales.
It wasn't meant like that.

Don't worry mate, i knew what you meant

I agree with you all on the price of shipping. It seems as if it is my only option. Every local lfs sales fish in really bad condition. I really feel for the people that buy just getting into the hobby.
