UK Online Fish Suppliers

[Jazz_UK]

Hi,

I have searched the forum but cannot find if this has been previously asked.

What online fish suppliers are there in the UK? I am looking for ones that show the price on the web not the "phone us" option.

I am looking for some unusual plecos and some other fish that the LFS does not stock.

I can then either order it online or ask my LFS to get some in and compare his price against the cost online to make sure it is not to too expensive.

I would prefer the second option as I could see the fish before I buy and help give business to the LFS but may have to resort to the first depending on price/availability.

Let me know the links and any experience you have buying from them.

Thanks

Jazz,

Have to agree with CodPiece - Tri-Mar are great. They have a stock list on line with some pics, but you do have to phone them to place your order - they prefer this as they can be sure they get any special details from you and also it avoids any worries about credit card security on the web.

The prices may or may not work out cheaper than your LFS (mostly cheaper than mine in London) but don't forget you need to add delivery charges. What they are absolutely great for is finding the special fish that you want which you can't fine locally.

It is always nicer to look at the fish before buying, but rest assured that you will get quality stock from them. Monty (the owner) has a policy that he will only send out fish that he would choose for himself - it saves on the cost (and stress to the fish) of returning unsuitable/unacceptable fish, and also keeps Tri-Mar's good reputation.

Another one to look at is Clothahump's site Corydoras World - Tim is still working on the online part of the shop but I am sure if you let him know what you are looking for he will be able to tell you whether he can help or not.
