Good morning. How do you think fish from all over the world make their way there? It would be a really long swim.....I've never heard of people buying gold fish online before. Do they ship them to you or do you have to pick them up???
In this case yes they are shipped. Presently all of my fish except one otocinclus, some nerite snails, and one shrimp have been bought and shipped online.Do they ship them to you or do you have to pick them up???
I asked because it doesn't work that way over here, at least on a retail level (maybe wholesale). At least, not that I know of anyway. Just as I would never commit to owning a bird (or any other pet) without viewing the bird first, nor would I commit to buying a fish without first viewing it in the flesh. We have very strict laws about what flora and fauna can be imported into Australia and by whom. I did check out their website.Good morning.

It was a joke. I think the fact there are strict laws in Australia is an admirable one. One that all countries should employ.I asked because it doesn't work that way over here, at least on a retail level (maybe wholesale). At least, not that I know of anyway.
