They offer a variety of high end cultured live plants and back everything they sell with a guarantee. You can purchase just about any freshwater plant for your aquascaping project and even purchase the stones and aquarium driftwood directly from them. They are also one of the few online sellers that sell the highest-end freshwater equipment brands like UNS Aquariums. They also have a stellar freshwater shrimp collection.
If you are a big aquascaper and looking for a wide variety of plants, this is a great stop! Give them a try! Cory and his team offer a variety of freshwater plants, quality fishkeeping content, and a forum where customers can interact. He has one of the most informational YouTube channels on the internet about the freshwater hobby. He covers a lot of basic and intermediate material that really takes the intimidation of the hobby away.
He also owns one of the best local fish stores in the country. Cory and his team sell a variety of freshwater plants. They have all the basic beginner aquarium plants and several rare varieties. His team lives this hobby with a passion and it shows with the quality of plants you get from them. Cory has been part of our community for a long-time and he represents an ever shrinking list of online sellers who are truly small businesses.
More and more of these online stores are becoming large corporations like Live Aquaria. They really do sell everything! Amazon has a number of high quality sellers of aquarium plants for sale. My favorites are SoShrimp and GreenPro.
For fish, Toledo Fish has been a great source of value cost Goldfish and Koi. Ah, my favorite topic. I am unashamedly a saltwater fish and reef tank junkie. Selecting saltwater fish is a tough job as quality of livestock varies and there is risk of diseases that can wipe out your tank.
You only want to purchase from a top retailer with a solid history. Here is where I get my fish. They have been around since the early days and built their own community with a message board that customers regularly interact with to give advice on saltwater fish keeping.
They offer a variety of saltwater fish for sale, corals, live rock, inverts, and even reef tank setup supplies. They are a saltwater fish store that will offer you a 15 day live guarantee on fish.
These guarantees from sellers like SWF are the reasons why I get so many of my saltwater fish online now. Many local fish stores will not give you this guarantee. That may seem like a lot, but saltwater fish are expensive. You can see now why that guarantee is really important! These people care and it shows with their over 4, Trustpilot reviews. Give them a chance when you are shopping. They are one of the best online fish stores. A great source to get pre-conditioned fish through Drivers Den.
Live aquaria got a lot of bad rap when they were acquired by Petco back in Before they were acquired, they were Flying Fish Express. I would consider them the top dog sales wise when it comes to saltwater fish. These days though, I shop with them in only one section. Live Aquaria has expanded into freshwater fish, koi, live plants, and corals over time, all of which are offered via Drivers Den.
Their livestock has a guarantee like Saltwaterfish. This is the place I recommend when you are looking for exotic saltwater fish and want them to be completely quarantined for you.
TSM offers the rarest and highest quality saltwater fish in the hobby! TSM Aquatics is where I refer all my high end clients. If you are looking for the most exotic fish, the newest tank bred varieties, and want the best quarantine process in the industry, TSM is where you go.
They are a standard above all other fish stores. All their fish are put through a rigorous quarantine process, the best I have seen in an saltwater fish store. These are available to buy online and be sent directly to you. With frequent koi carp buying trips to Israel and Thailand we are able to hand pick the highest quality Koi Carp. All Koi are quarantined in our purpose built quarantine and conditioning ponds so you can sure of receiving healthy fish. All the larger Koi carp are individually photographed so you can see before you buy online.
Our selection of Saltwater Marine fish for sale offers you everything from Invertebrates, Corals, Live Rock, to a full range of fish. All our marine fish are available to buy online and delivered to your door.
Along with the range of marine fish we keep in stock to buy online such as firefish, grammas, clownfish, tangs, seahorses, puffers and more we also take orders for bamboo sharks, large angelfish, eels and any other marine fish you would like us to obtain.
The deal includes all sorts of desirable species, including Anubias Nana var. Petite and Red Tiger Lotus bulbs. If you need large numbers, Buy 2 Get 1 Free becomes Buy 4 get 2 Free, and so on, which makes aquascaping with carpeting and foreground plants significantly easier on the wallet!
Shipping for plants is entirely free as well. As an aquatic plant oriented distributor their livestock selection is smaller and tailored to plant-safe invertebrates for aquascapes.
Saltwater enthusiasts will also find their selection of stony and soft corals well worth a look. They have an excellent selection of captive aquacultured varieties as well, which are not only hardier but far more sustainable than wild harvested corals.
Aquarium Co-Op is one of my all time favorite brands in the fish-keeping community. Corey, the owner, is extremely transparent with his business and share a ton of awesome information on his YouTube channel.
I highly recommend checking it out if you have any sort of interest in aquaria videos! Their brick and mortar store also carries a wide selection of live aquarium fish, however online purchasing is not currently available.
One thing I like about Aquarium Co-Op is their commitment to product diversity. While they carry the typical selection of Tetra, MarineLand, and Hikari products they also carry niche brands that are often higher quality. Looking at their Aquarium Fish Food selection we have access to insect based foods like Fluval Bug Bites and spirulina-based formulas if we want to avoid the standard wheat-based foods most retail stores provide.
Carpeting plant lovers will find gems like Monte Carlo and several moss species to sample. Aquascapers should take note of their pre-colonized decorations carrying Java and Christmas Moss.
This holds true regardless of order size and is the least expensive shipping rate for any online fish store selling live items! In terms of species variety, The Shrimp Farm is unmatched by any of these distributors in variety save for Aquatic Arts, which also carries larger species like Bamboo and Vampire Shrimp. However Aquatic Arts has a higher shipping rate for their orders and tends to carry smaller numbers of each species.
Standard shipping orders take 1 to 3 days to arrive in most cases. And unlike other distributors The Shrimp Farm offers a full refund to your method of purchase rather than store credit in case of dead on arrivals.
In terms of sheer variety Aquabid is definitely one of the best online fish stores! Unfortunately their saltwater fish selection is severely lacking but you can find a little of literally every fish category here. Naturally, prices vary since it is an auction-based website. It has a decent selection of corals and plants, but there are many stores out there that do better. It does not sell fish at this time.
However, it does offer a great range of macroalgae. If you need to purchase some, this is probably your best option. Check Marine Depot MarineDepot is an often-recommended store. It only sells supplies, not fish, shrimp, plants, or other live products. As far as supplies go, it has a rather large selection. It provides dosing pumps, aquariums, and even themed clothing. For beginners, it offers complete packages that already have everything that you need.
It includes the recommended lighting, skimmer, and filter for the tank size that you choose. MarineDepot provides a simple shipping policy. Anything over that is shipped for free at standard speed. Deciding to purchase fish online is often a hard decision. Purchasing aquarium supplies online is one thing, but getting a live creature shipped to you in the mail is another. If not shipped properly, fish can easily die in the mail.
The store that you choose to purchase from is an important factor in whether your fish ends up dead or not.
You also need to shop at the right place to ensure that your fish is even healthy at all. When a company is shipping anything live to you, it is essential that there is some sort of guarantee involved. Often, this is called a live arrival guarantee, as it ensures that the animal shows up on your doorstep alive. However, many stores offer an extended warranty that covers a few days or weeks after the animal arrives as well.
In these circumstances, you may be out of luck if the guarantee ends the second that you open the box. Some companies will have guarantees for certain fish, but not for those that are sensitive to being mailed.
This is often in the fine print, so be sure you check that your fish is covered under its policy before purchasing the fish. In any case, if a company has no guarantee, it is not invested in whether the fish actually shows up alive at your door.
After all, its shipping standards determine whether the fish that you purchase show up alive. In the end, it likely depends on the type of fish. If the fish is sensitive to temperature, then keeping that fish at the correct temperature is essential. Sadly, shipping live animals are expensive. There is no way around this. There is much that goes into the process, such as extra insulation and heating or cooling packs. Furthermore, fish must be shipped overnight.
This is largely because there is no way to keep a fish alive if it is below freezing outside or almost degrees Fahrenheit. The selection of a store can be judged in two ways.
Not all stores should be judged the same, depending on the kind of store it is. Some stores carry a wide variety of items for aquariums. These may include shrimp, fish, tanks, plants, and other supplies. Such stores usually focus on the more common items from each category. However, if these stores are missing common fish or even whole categories of fish, your ability to shop at them may be dramatically produced. Can you get everything that you need for your aquarium?
Does it sell moss, for instance? On the other hand, some stores specialize in one particular product. For example, the Shrimp Farm focuses heavily on shrimp. It provides just about every kind of shrimp out there, as well as shrimp products.
Your best bet is to find a quality generalist store that you can shop at for most of your needs. The quality of the items that you purchase matters. Instead, you should check reviews from actual people before making a purchase. For general purchases and even specialized items , we recommend Live Aquaria. It offers the widest selection on the market and has great shipping standards and extremely good guarantees.
Aquatic Arts is another top-tier fish store that we recommend.
