After seeing that there aren't many fish taht I want in my LFS, I want to try ordering fish online to see how it goes. I know I cannot discuss the other online retailers on this message board so I'll ask about SWF. Has anyone ordered livestock, particularly ANGELFISH or BUTTERFLYFISH from this website? I'm just a little more worried because these fish are quite delicate and I would like them to flourish in my tank. I'm a little iffy about buying a fish I have never seen before but with a 6 day guarantee, it is better than any of my LFS's which don't offer a guarantee at all. If anyone has bought fish from a competing online retailers please email me at MakoFury@hotmail.com to tell me about it, since I respect SWF's policy. Any input or advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

We have ordered from SWF and several others on-line before. I think I ordered our butterfly fish from them, we had very good service, the fish arrived alive and healthy. Just remember to acclamate them properly. Lisa

I ordered an Majestic Angelfish from a major competitor, and the thing arrived great and 7 months later still happy and healthy. I would recommened if ording an Angelfish get a young one, one that hasn't changed into it's adult colors.....they get used to captive life alot easier and adapt to our food. I will say I ordered a red lip blenny and got an lawnmower blenny.....oh well I have grown to love my lawnmower because he is a good alage eater. But I would recommend ordering more that one thing because the shipping cost is like ----!! I will say this, SWF has one of the cheapest shipping I have seen around the net, and I have ordered from at least 4 different places including SWF.

Thanks for the replies, I will definitely try it now, goofieones and berry, if you can, could you please email me exactly which "competitor" you bought from. Because there is a good special going on right now at one of those places and I was thinking of picking it up. Thanks again! Email address: MakoFury@hotmail.com
