ten_roses Posted June 28, 2013 Report Share Posted June 28, 2013 Hi I am looking into buying live fish through the wonderworld pet centre website. I would just like to know if anyone here has had any experience buying live fish from this website. I believe they are located in Rotorua and I live in Nelson, would the fish be safe to be sent this distance? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danval Posted June 28, 2013 Report Share Posted June 28, 2013 I personally have not purchased any fish from here but I would make sure the fish are only sent on the overnight delivery option (I don't think there is a same day option) especially if you are purchasing tropicals. Freight charges including the price of polybox,heat pad etc can be quite hefty and are usually sent at buyers risk. They do look to have some nice fish in store and do import their own fish. Good luck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr A Posted June 28, 2013 Report Share Posted June 28, 2013 Curious that they have a $2.10 cold fresh water mussel. Native? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blueether Posted June 28, 2013 Report Share Posted June 28, 2013 Curious that they have a $2.10 cold fresh water mussel. Native?Yes, and they generally die in an aquarium unless you can feed them LOTS of green water. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigBossPants Posted June 30, 2013 Report Share Posted June 30, 2013 I haven't had fish shipped from there but i have had them package fish for an overnight journey, which is basically the same minus the courier. The fish were packaged well and stayed warm, i was pleased with the service. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

samb Posted July 1, 2013 Report Share Posted July 1, 2013 I got my tank set up from there over a year ago and then my marines from there 2 months ago. I have found them to be friendly and easy to deal with. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
