Pros and Cons of Getting LIVE Fish From These Sellers

‎ One of the most frequent questions Cory gets is where to get cool aquarium fish, especially since Aquarium Co-Op doesn't sell fish online. Tune in as he describes the pros and cons of shopping at a local fish store, fish club auction, and online retailers.

I’ve been selling apistos on eBay and sometimes aquabid for 2 years. Im a part of all the apisto groups online which is now where most of my sales come from. I’m at over 1100 orders so far and not a single negative or neutral review. I bust my ass to pack the right way and I only keep the highest quality. Now I’m even supplying farms in my state with apistos. I still work full time but I could quit at any time to just sell fish. This hobby changed my life! It’s amazing

So lucky to have Aquarium Co-op as my LFS

I’ve ordered twice from AquaHuna and had no issues. I’ve gotten clown killifish and bamboo shrimp. Highly recommend

[clayd]

I've been thinking about getting some new fish feeling a little burnt out lately. Quality video as always thanks for the info and tips

[patrickrochelle]

I wish I had a store like aquarium co-op around me..

[Kontrfit]

Corey we appreciate how honest and upfront you are. I hope to visit your store some day. Coming from Minnesota.

I wish we had a local fish store in my small town that wasnt Petsmart or Petco. Fish from these two stores are a hit or miss. And breeders are all 50+ miles away

Based on your recommendation, I’ve ordered from Aqua Huns a couple times and have been happy with the fish and shrimp I received from them ❤️

[ericfrojd]

Twins Cities Guppies is a great place to get Guppies in Minnesota! Corey has a few types he has stated a few times.

Aqua Huna changed my hobby. My local store is hit and miss and I have always had trouble keeping their fish alive. I have had one fish from Aqua Huna come in bad out of 75 or so. Love 'em.

[CJBlack]

I haven't ordered from Aqua-huna yet, but I'm sure I will😎
I like ordering from other fish fishtubers like Dan's Fish, LRB Aquatics, and KGTropicals, they feel like my LFS 😎
Thanks Cory 💕👍

Yeah, I need to find a mom and pop shop. Seems like more times than not, when I buy from the chain stores. I’ll have issues.

In Feburary is the International Fish Stock Exchange called Aqua Expo. Normaly it is in Oktober but because of corona it is in Feburary know.

Thanks for sharing information, and your experiences!

I ordereded some longfin peppered cprydoras from aquahuna and while I'm glad everyone made it and am very happy with the specimens they sent... the USPS delivered them to my parcel locker instead of my front porch... I had had to leave work early because my boyfriend couldn't find our mail key. It was warm that day too and they had been in there for hours.

Aqua Huna have always treated me very well

Golden Aquarium here in Chicago, Illinois on the south side, I support. Great place to be and they stand by what they sell.

I use both my local fish store and a couple of online stores. My "local" store is over an hour away. We do have petsmart, etc. about 35 minutes away, but they don't have a great selection. I order plants online and some standard fish.

Ive had excellent experiences with your plants and tips and I'm in Maine on a well, so all your advice has helped a lot! I did the Walstad Method on both my tanks and it's been a learning curve! I look forward to trying your fish suggestions.
