Ordering livestock offline in the UK??

Hey guys,
I've been scanning about the net for a website where you can order saltwater fish in the uk, they all seem to be american

Does anyone know any places from the UK where you can purchase fish?

And how come fish are so much cheaper in america!!! (sorry off topic)

Also... Is it risky getting fish online? What about live rock, because i was pretty unhappy with the live rock at my LFS. They seemed to have peices of rock on the side of the tank what were packed up in plastic like a peice of meat!!
I'm not sure if they were wet or not, i didn't get a close look.



Anywhoo, i'm not sure if this is the right place to put this post, so if it isn't, is it possible to move?? :/

ta, thats all from me

thanks

Ther is always risk involved when fish are shipped.
I guess price is always determined by Supply and Demand & not to mention Freight Charge. I would assume the freight charge from Red Sea may be lower to UK than US and higher from SouthEast Asia (Bali, Phillipines) to UK than US.
Do not know how much rock you are looking for, but if need more than 40lbs, consider shipping rather local purchase. You will be lot happier with these rocks and will definitely find more surprises (Warning: may stay up all night with flashlight trying to locate and id hitchhikers).lol!

Is that a koi carp?? :/ Sorry i'm a noob at ponds, but we're getting one because our garden is having a 'revamp'
And is that fish hardy? What about more delicate fish...And why do i have so many questions =[

Nope they were just common carp i ordered but they dont sell them anymore, i have a 1700G pond so if you want to know anything i can help you on most things, just send me a message on my profile or make a thread about it.

I thought it was good, between us me and my dad bought 12 common carp and they are all still alive today
