The box was definitely damaged which was a mistake with the postal service and not the shop owner but for the cost of an extra bag or two those 4 little fish may have survived.
That’s perfect but if I had thought about it I would have requested that the little guys be double or even triple bagged… because one of my two bags broke during shipping letting water out, soaking the box and killing 4 of the little fish. My last shipping tip? Ask exactly how they’ll be shipped (mine were put in bags in peanuts in an insulated pack inside the box. Most shops have those available for an added purchase. Make sure to think about temperature… is it going to be hot or cold in your area? If the temperature is above or below a certain degree your little fish may need a heat pack or cold pack to keep them cozy.
Do they always ship on a certain day? Do they ship whenever the orders are sent? Okay now on to the semantics of it all… when you’re ordering fish double triple check the shops shipping policy. By the time I ordered I was confident that he took great care of his fish and while things happen most of his customers were very happy with his little angelfish. I read all the reviews online, watched all of the unboxing videos on youtube, emailed back and forth with the shop owner for a couple days. When it came to the little angelfish I ordered I did all-the-research. The poor little fish were sick with ick and despite my best effort all but 1 died before the end of the weekend… if I had done my research I would have found that the shop I ordered from had terrible reviews and I would have bought my fish elsewhere. Unfortunitely I was so confident that I didn’t do my research on the shop… and I didn’t realize my error until my order arrived with 6 of the 13 fish DOA.

Things like their best water temperature, ph, tank size, how big these guys would get full grown… I had all of that down.
#Hey thats my fish online how to
I ordered a few different types of tetra from a shop first… I have several species of tetra already and was already confident on how to keep them. Not only should you do your research on the type of fish you’re ordering but do your research on the shop you’re ordering from as well. My first bit of advice is to do your research (wait did I just say that? it’s kind of important y’all!). In the meantime, here are my 7 Tips for ordering sweet little fish online. The main thing is to do your research before hand and have a plan for when the little guys get to you! It seems like everyone has an opinion and it’s alllllll different! Of course, my advice will be different from others and it may even be different from what you end up doing… that’s ok because different fish have different needs. Of course, when looking online for fish to purchase I came across so much information on actually buying fish online. I’ve actually bought fish online twice now once with really good results and once with really bad results. So I did a thing recently… I bought fish online.
