Anyone ever bought fish online

I would like to add a few discus and exotic plecos to my tank. The local fish stores here sells very sickly looking discus for $40 minimum. An online store, somethingsfishy.com sells the same type of discus I want, plus plecos I can't find anywhere locally, for a fraction of the price. Even w the shipping charges, is still cheaper. Anyone has experience w this site? Can they be trusted?

Here is the site:

I buy off of eBay all the time, never had a single issue yet at all. Found some very wonderful sellers too. They are in communication with you for the most part. I have seen some discus sellers in there and I'm sure if you do a refined search under Discus, you'll get alot of hits on that too. Sellers on eBay are not so dangerous like many would like online buying to be. The reality of buying off of eBay is that if you have issues with a seller and they don't wish to cooperate or sell you bad fish, you can rate your buying experience and that's not something that can be covered up. I look at sellers rating and generally buy from someone that has at least 100 transactions and less then 10% reported issues. You'll find many sellers there as well that are willing to work with you on shipping rates if you buy more then one auction they have. Check them out and let me know. I haven't bought discus myself but have seen them listed there.
