Bucket Posted October 26, 2020 Share Posted October 26, 2020 First off I'm new here(first post) sorry if this a common question. Basically I don't have/use any social media. Craigslist is meh. Don't have any friends in the hobby. I know there are clubs but don't know much about them. I live in Tacoma Wa if that helps. Thanks in advance I guess.

Casual aquatics Posted October 26, 2020 Share Posted October 26, 2020 Just now, Bucket First off I'm new here(first post) sorry if this a common question. Basically I don't have/use any social media. Craigslist is meh. Don't have any friends in the hobby. I know there are clubs but don't know much about them. I live in Tacoma Wa if that helps. Thanks in advance I guess. First off welcome to the club and secondly if you don’t have use the social media how did you find out about the app through YouTube thirdly what kind of fish do you keep there’s a lot of knowledgeable people here I’m sure they will start to answer all of your questions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tolstoy21 Posted October 26, 2020 Share Posted October 26, 2020 @Bucket Online. I get 100% of my plants online. Fish, I'll also order online occasionally if I'm looking for something specific. I find out about everything--what is what, care instruction, best places to buy just by reading a lot online and watching you tube. I also have no social media presence (this forum is the extent of it currently), don't have friends in the hobby, and don't attend fish clubs (no time for that really -- kids, work, etc.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy's Fish Den Posted October 26, 2020 Share Posted October 26, 2020 If you don't have social media, local fish stores, not sure how far Tacoma is from Seattle, but I hear there's a nice selection out there, including the one hosting this forum. Also, down in Portland there is several. Otherwise, online, there is a lot of sellers online, I could recommend some but I think it goes against forum policy. But you can also check out places like aquabid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ange Posted October 26, 2020 Share Posted October 26, 2020 I limit my social media as well and have had the best luck using my state's AquaSwap on Reddit for local trades. My last "local" choice is a LFS ~2hrs away from me with an obscenely good plant selection compared to my local stores, but I only really go to treat myself for something really special. I've also purchased from eBay sellers and the Co-Op. The main limitation from shipping is that until recently temperatures were 90+ daily and many plants ran the risk of damage. Some plants also don't ship well which limited what I could get through online purchase if I want to maximize my success. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
