Has anyone bought fish online?

Success stories? Difficult acclimation? Nightmare?

You just got to research your seller with care.

I just ordered from aquatic wholesale. Real good fish but be ready to pay up in shipping. The trick is getting such a deal on prices that even w/ shipping your still saving $$$. Acclimation isn't too bad, just get your nitrates as low as they'll go before you throw a whole order's worth of fish in. It let's your bacteria get a chance to catch up before nitrates kill everything. Basically, get the water in the best shape you can, the fish are under a lot of stress when they get there.

P.S. Tropfish might be good option for you. They're in FL and prices are low... don't know about quality though. Liveaquaria looks really expensive.
