Online Fish Seller Recommendations

[Howie]

Anybody have any positive experiences with Cichlid Shack? Quinn's Fins? Live Fish Direct? Other recommendations from other sellers?

Interested obviously in quality of fish, accurate representations of sex, color, size (seems that some send smaller size than promised), packing, and ease of delivery (not really a big fan of picking up at airport and prefer door to door).

Dave's Fish, Mike's Cichlids and Imperial Tropicals are all good bets. Imperial and Dave's can both ship FedEx - which is much simpler for small orders.

South east cichlids. I keep hearing good reviews.

If you decide to order from them, let me know. Maybe we can split shipping.

I know Johnny (jmoore) has got some things from Cichlid Shack. I think he liked the product, but he would know better.

Dave's would be my go-to source for African Cichlids...

Is the club or members of the club planning to do a group buy any time soon so we can save on shipping and get volume discounts?

Dave's, SEC, Valley Aquatics. 3 that I would trust for top quality and honest opinions. LFD has plenty of bad rep out there if you look for it, so I'd stay away.

I just ordered from Southeast Cichlids. I'd highly recommend them.

SEC posts a pre-order list for fish coming from Germany. More selection there.
We just missed the deadline for the April order. it was 4/19 and the fish gets to SEC by 4/24. I hope we settle on who is ordering and what by early May.
Their site has the list of what's available from Germany.

I have done the German order from SEC. Great fish I also did shipping w/ to others worked out great

Yes to Daves! Not so much to Live Fish Direct

 

[jmessineo1]

You had a bad experience with livefishdirect?

 

[iamzrad]

I did a huge group buy with Live Fish Direct about 3 years ago with members from CCA. Didn't have a single issue.

 

[hollyfish2000]

Yes, I had an issue several years ago. Perhaps things have improved since then.

SEC has a great selection of fish.
