More Online Live Fish Store Research

Neptune Aquatics looks like they know what they are doing, but their prices and shipping costs seem a bit steep to me.

The same seems true of hotcichlids.com, which seems to prefer air freight.

Bluechip Aquatics only uses air freight and their fish list starts with some nice $600 fish (ummmm.... who has $600 to spend on aquarium fish.... let's get some perspective, folks).

Cichlid Lovers has a $50 minimum order -- which is actually not as bad as some. They won't guarentee live delivery with overnight service and prefer air freight.

Kerrigan Aquatics has high prices and their website is advertising July specials.... hmmm, a bit cool for July these days.

JD Tropheus is a little more on the sane side, but they only have... you got it... Tropheus.

Don't get me wrong with some of these. They may be fine for the hobbyist who has a lot of money and time to go to the airport to pick up deliveries. (I still want to know who buys $600 fish, though.) They might also be fine for dealers who can get cheaper fish by buying in bulk. They just won't suit a hobbyist like me with a meager budget, but who still wants great fish!

Do I want it all? Maybe so. The search continues.
