I live in a smaller town that has no pet stores, the closest place that has fish is about 25 miles away. I do not care for the privet owned shop (anytime I get fish there, they all die and so do most of my fish I already have) and the other shop is a chain store and while they have nice fish, the fish section employees are not nice. The next closest town that has any fish is 40 miles away. It is the same chain store for pets, but the people who work there are way way way nicer. However for me to drive that distance, it is not something I can do very often. So I end up buying most of my fish online.
I have two places I use, but have found another online place. I would like to ask if anyone has had experiences with that place and how it is, but do not know if it is ok to do so. It has several more colors of the fish I have (platies/moons) and some of the plecos I want.
My tank is a 30 long, has: platies, black neon tetras, long fin black skirt tetras, about three cory cats, and currently one regular pleco (about 1 1/2 to 2 inches long). I have about six platies, 10 of the black skirts, and 10 of the black neon.
All the tetras are pretty small at this point. I had to replace all my tetras, cause my ones I had for a couple years were all killed a few weeks ago. I lost most of the fish in my tank. It was doing fine, and then all of a sudden the temp went sky high. I didn't know about it till a few days later. I had foot surgery and was not able to get around, and when I could get to the room my tank was in, was when I found almost everyone dead. And my tank was a disaster! Got new heater, major water changes first day or two, then 1/4 over the next two weeks. Once that was straightened out, and all water was ok, then I did binox and parasite guard on the few remaining fish. (three platies) They were fine and nice and spry after all that. I once again slowly introduced the tetras.
I am going to be ready to add a few platies in about another week. I have found a website that has some that I love the coloring. But I've never bought from them, and had never heard of them. Before I would buy from them, I'd like to know other people's experiences with them.
