I am interested in their condition when received. How long after the order did the fish arrive? Would you buy from them again? What type of fish did you get and how are they doing today? I ordered 6 small fancy goldfish ( minimum small order is 6) I ordered blue oranda , calico oranda, chocolate oranda, black oranda, plus 2 lionheads.( calico and red-white) It took 4 weeks before I received the order. First they said 10 days but it turned into 4 weeks. They receive their fish from Hong Kong. They are in Florida. The fish arrived just as they said - via overnite fed express. They sent 1 very large black oranda plus 2 other medium size fish. The rest were small as ordered. They didn't charge extra for the larger fish. The fish arrived in 1 large ( quite messy) bag, all alive. I immeadiately salt dipped them and placed them in a tank with extra salt. I didn't bother to float the bag or add water to the bag. One week later - now - they are all doing well - actively swimming and eating. I would recommend them - but keep in mind there is a wait. The fish they sent are quite nice. Price -( considering the size they sent) is reasonable. > I would recommend them - but keep in mind >there is a wait. The fish they sent are quite nice. >It took 4 weeks before I received the order.

Couldn't find them using Google, did they go out of business? 4 weeks to ship an order, maybe they closed down. >Couldn't find them using Google, did they go out of business? >4 weeks to ship an order, maybe they closed down. www.fish-express.com PS. - 3 of the fish that arrived were immeadiately okay and actively swimming . Another 3 sat on the bottom and didn't eat for 2 days - then were fine. > PS. - 3 of the fish that arrived were immeadiately okay and actively swimming . > Another 3 sat on the bottom and didn't eat for 2 days - then were fine. I am interested in ordering fancy goldfish online myself. Did you get to actually see the goldfish before you ordered them? Did you see them swimming or any of that kind of stuff before u purchased? I think their prices are pretty darn good though, the online fancy goldfish suppliers like Dandy Oranda's and Koi' N Pets in Canada are very tailored to upscale goldfish buyers. Thanks JB >I am interested in ordering fancy goldfish online myself. Did you get >to actually see the goldfish before you ordered them? Did you see >them swimming or any of that kind of stuff before u purchased? You can see pictures of similar fish on their website but not the actual fish you get. They don't have $100 plus upscale goldfish - just the usual ones - like you might see at Petsmart - I ordered from them because of the variety they have - My petsmart doesn't have that variety. |
