Live fish
Observing live fish in your fish tank is the great pleasure of keeping fish. You will need to purchase live fish from reputable sources in order to be sure you are getting healthy fish at reasonable prices.
Live fish are available for sale both on the Internet and at local fish shops. There are advantages to buying fish on site as well as from online shops. Online stores often offer better pricing and more exotic options. There is a risk involved in shipping them. Reputable online stores will offer a money back guarantee that the fish will arrive alive and stay alive for a certain number of days. It’s not a good idea to purchase from any shop that does not offer such a warranty.
The benefit to buying fish a local shop is fairly obvious. You can see exactly what you get before it arrives at your door. You see a fish, like it and take it home that very day. The immediacy is very gratifying for many fish owners. Local fish shops may also offer a guarantee that the fish will stay alive for a specified length of time. You may need to purchase live fish insurance for this warranty at some shops though.
