buying fish online
Can anyone recommend a site where I can buy fish online? I am a little reluctant to just buy... I find best places are found by word of mouth/Keyboard...LOL

Unless you buy from a breeder online the fish are most likely from two or three mass breeders that supply to everyone. So the health will most likely be pretty much the same.
www.aquabid.com has private breeders.

The guppies you buy from a big mailorder place like petsolutions or Foster/Smith are going to be the same crappy guppies you'd find anywhere else, and thusly not worth the trouble & expense. If you want good guppies worth having, and I'm assuming that you do since you don't like your local ones, then go to aquabid.com and peruse the numerous selections available. They're expensive, but they're show quality fish which are good for breeding and for selling to local stores.
There are a few good guys in the guppy section, and some very bad ones, too.
I can't say openly here which are which for liability reasons, but Aquabid has a feedback forum. Just click "forums" at the bottom of the main page and then go to the feedback forum and either have a look around or make a post asking who is good & who is bad, and you'll get your answer pretty quick. I'll give you the info myself in that forum.

If you want fancy show-type guppies, I can give you some names... but these fish are NOT cheap. For the really good quality ones, you're looking at about $50 a trio... plus shipping. If you just want some pretty, healthy fish for pets, I'll send you a box for $8 (to cover shipping and supplies). Heck, I'll even throw in some mystery snails if you want them.

i would say aquabid if you looking for some good quality fish. but beware of some people may just be there to rip you off. better read their forum before you bid.
if you just want some pet, you can ask people here or just go to pet store to get some... those online company make you pay extra shipping cost just to get some pet store quality guppy.
