Administrators Cory 2 Posted July 14, 2020 Administrators Share Posted July 14, 2020 Hello everyone, Unfortunately we don't ship live fish. Our stock lists are for our retail store customers. They are posted once when the shipment comes in and not updated after that. If you're looking to purchase live fish and live outside of Washington state, you can get more information from our web page on sources to buy fish. https://www.aquariumcoop.com/pages/live-fish Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Tre 69 Posted July 15, 2020 Share Posted July 15, 2020 And what would it take for you to ship? Lol 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Mr. Ed's Aquatics 307 Posted July 17, 2020 Share Posted July 17, 2020 Hey Cory, I was trying to figure out why Aqua Huna won't ship in Washington now that Walmart doesn't carry fish and there exclusivity contract was null. I heard they had a new agreement with a client in Washington that was buying a lot from them. Is it you? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Typically retail stores won't buy from someone who is selling to their customer. I'd feel the same way. I wouldn't partner with them if they were selling to my retail customers also.

Mr. Ed's Aquatics 307 Posted July 17, 2020 Share Posted July 17, 2020 I wish I was a retail customer of yours, but due to distance I can only buy things from Co-op online (which I do, a lot, big fan). I only have 1 LFS down here and they use the crappy wholesalers in Portland that Walmart used before Aqua Huna ... Back to Aquabid lol 2 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Ben Ellison 219 Posted October 3, 2020 Share Posted October 3, 2020 I would find it incredibly useful if more sites where recommended by you. I live in east TN and have a few good fish options in the area but some of the more specific fish intend to want to get are either unavailable or super expensive here. None of the stores here treat fish preemptively all either don't quarantine or only have a monitoring period. I would live to have a online store thats cory approved in addition to aqua huna.

I feel like the Co-Op is only really going to be able to recommend wholesalers, like Aqua Huna. Otherwise they would have to spend a lot of time vetting stores that they wouldn't normally do a lot of business with. I do like the idea of a community sourced option though. Like a dedicated area where we could post about good and bad experiences with stores. I could still see an avenue for abuse there, but with this community, I feel that it would be pretty low. I'm in the same boat as you. I have a petco about an hour away, a petsmart an hour the other direction and that's it. The nearest actual fish store is about an hour and a half drive, so I have bought all my fish and shrimp online... granted that's a pretty small amount. I have only bought two orders of shrimp and two orders of guppies so far, but I am happy with the 3 different places I bought from and wouldn't mind sharing my experience. 5 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Harpsandfish 39 Posted November 7, 2020 Share Posted November 7, 2020 If you visit Aqua Huna’s website, you will see a clear explanation of their ethical reason for not shipping to retail customers in Washington. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Thank you for explaining. The alternative is to order fish out of state which doesn't help WA businesses but I guess it makes sense to avoid drama over competition. I usually make the drive to Aquarium Coop because I know the extra time and cost worth it. I feel bad for those who don't have this option. 😞 Edited January 14 by Grubhead Read the full guidelines and realize we can't share links to unapproved resources for WA residents to buy fish.

Daniel 3,362 Posted January 13 Share Posted January 13 @Grubhead Welcome to the forum, I think you will find it a wonderful resource. Just thought you might want to review a couple of the guidelines. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Grubhead 2 Posted January 14 Share Posted January 14 Oops! Thank you for letting me know. I saw the forum on mobile first and there's a link to the video "Watch our video on the rules of this forum" at the top, which I did watch, but maybe we could get that link set to the Guidelines page instead (which also includes the video)? I have reviewed the guidelines. 🙂 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
