Hi folks, I've never bought fish online before, but have been considering it.
How long are fish/inverts okay in their packing materials? I mean, I work a regular job and could have a box either delivered overnight to home or to office, but either way I won't be getting them into their new habitat until 6-7pm...how does shipping critters work? I've read a few horror stories, so am worried about the process.

I received several fish in the mail yesterday that were shipped on Thursday. Everything arrived in perfect condition. I now have several healthy, happy additions to my home. Three cherry fire shrimp, 3 False Julii Cory cats, 2 Ruby Red Pencil fish and 1 Japanese Trapdoor Snail. Those Cory's are just as cute as they can be too

In answer to your question if I'm not mistaken they can actually survive 3-5 days if packed properly.

I know this is almost 2 years since last post, but this is a great place to order amazing looking cichlids. Mainly Lake Tangiyikan, but has some good Lake Malawai varieties too. Also great customer service. I haven't personally ordered from them, but I definetly plan too. Sent in a question and the guy who runs the whole operation (1100 tanks), Doug, personally answers your questions. Just looks like a great store heres the site.
