Trusted online tropical fish retailers

Post by darkflow »

I'm looking for reliable online stores to buy tropical fish. Any recommendations? I've heard mixed reviews about some sites and don't wanna get scammed.

I've had great experiences with AquaHuna. Their shipping is solid, and the fish arrive healthy. Just make sure to acclimate them properly. What species are you looking for?

AquaHuna is decent, but for rarer species, I'd recommend The Wet Spot. They've got a huge selection, and their customer service is top-notch. Just be ready to pay a bit more for quality.

Yeah, The Wet Spot is legit. I got some killer Discus from them last year. Just avoid those sketchy eBay sellers, unless you wanna gamble with your cash.

Totally agree. I've also had good luck with Imperial Tropicals. Their fish are always vibrant, and they pack them like pros.

Anyone tried Flip Aquatics? I've heard they're good for shrimp, but not sure about fish. Their prices seem chill, though.

Flip's shrimp are fire, but their fish selection is kinda meh. Stick with The Wet Spot or AquaHuna for fish, unless you're just messing around.

I've used LiveAquaria before. They're pricey, but their guarantee is solid. Lost a fish once, and they replaced it no questions asked.

What about smaller stores? I'd rather support a local business if possible.
