Might be getting some fish online

[Katie217]

Ok so for xmas my sisters boyfriend said he might be able to order me some cichlids off the net. so im thinking of maybe getting a few more malawi's and if possible, making my 20gal a lake tang tank? but anyways, what are some good websites to order of off? any suggestions would be great
thanks!

To be honest, I wouldn't order fish at this time of the year. All the delivery companies have way to many packages to deliver, and things get lost or delayed. Add that to the cold temperatures, and you're more likely to get sick/dead/stressed fish.

Just my thoughts.

I never would of thought of that Lotus, thanks alot, you probably just saved me some dead fish!
Guess ill wait till next year!
but, what are some good websites anyways? just to look

I'm no cichlid expert, but there are some great reviews on online stores, click here --> http://www.cichlid-forum.com/reviews/retailer_display.php?CatID=002

I tend to shop on Aquabid for rare/unusual fish.

Liveaquaria.com has nice fish too, not sure how good their cichlid selection is though.

One problem you might run into is the sites we linking being American suppliers...not sure about shipping costs over the border or paperwork involved.

But yes CF has a nice reviews section.

One place i've found recently looks good - Reserve Stock Cichlids

I've ordered through liveaquaria.com before and was really pleased. My order came up one cichlid short and I called and they were very happy to credit my account.
