Ordering Fish Online

[kennygater]

just wondering if anyone orders marine fish online? if so what uk websites have a good rep? thanks

What are your reasons for wanting to order online? I only ask because its gonna cause extra stress to the fish, and I personally would try to avoid it.

Cheers,

I know im biased as i sell fish online, but how do you think the fish fet to the UK? in cargo holds on planes sometimes over 48 hours in transit, then to a wholesaler, then to a lfs then to your home.

we buy direct from global companies, touchdown in heathrow and into our tanks in 2 hours.

sorry if i sound a bit cranky about this.

True, and there is very little alternative for getting fish from one side of the globe to the other. There is a choice for getting the fish from the LFS to your tank however, and personally I like to see the fish in the flesh before purchase and keep any further stress to a minimum. Just my opinion, sorry if it caused offence.

I don't disagree with buying fish online, I bought my CUC online, I just prefer to buy my fish through normal methods
