Fish For SaleGuide For Buying Aquarium FishMost pet fish are purchased from local pet shops due to the close proximity. Although convenient, buying aquarium stock through these outlets may not be the best source for your particular needs.
Pet shops often have the same standard varieties on sale. Every week boxes of new stock arrive from the mega fish importer before being placed in a tank for your purchasing needs. Traveling to your next closest pet store usually results in more of the same bread and butter fish varieties.
Fish keepers looking for something of a higher standard need not despair. There are a number of sources for more unusual species or breeding quality fish.
Online advertisements and more traditional printed classified ads connect aquarium fish breeders with fish buyers. These are the places to find that rare specimen or breeding pair. Cutting out the middle man can also result in substantial savings.
 Fish auctions hosted by aquarium societies are a must for aquarium enthusiasts. Contact your local aquarium club or look for them in the newspaper classifieds.
Wherever you purchase your fish from be sure to check for signs of disease. The last thing you want to do is introduce new fish pathogens into your fish tanks.
When you have found some fish you are happy with, do not buy too many all at once. Introduce fish over a period of time to allow nitrifying bacteria to multiply and catch up. Remember to take into account the principles of biological loading when stocking an aquarium.
