  • Comment: Everyone arrived happy and healthy! I'm in love with the coloration on my Balloon Mollies and their shape is great! The Emperor Tetras colored up quick when added to my set up! The Kuhli Loaches wriggled away into their driftwood paradise upon release hopefully to join the others! Can't wait to see all of them grow and blossom! These fish are some of the healthiest around. Definitely will be ordering again and again!

  • Comment: My Ctenopoma arrived in great condition. So did the baby vampire pleco but he hides so I never see him. Which is to be expected - I assume I’ll see him again in 6 months or so. The ctenopoma was pellet trained as advertised, though he loves live and frozen foods too, and has grown quickly. While shy at first he has really become a wonderful and vibrant addition to my tank, he’s quite friendly and inquisitive now. I named him Leopard Nimoy. He gets along with his tank mates, an electric blue acara and goyder river rainbows (all bigger than him). Loves to hide among the veg in my heavily planted tank.

  • Comment: I ordered a pair of Santa Maria Endlers and a group of yellow Neocaridina shrimp from Dan’s Fish for my nano aquarium. Everything arrived in excellent condition healthy, active, and stress-free. The fish and shrimp have settled in beautifully and are thriving. I’m thoroughly impressed with the quality of livestock and packaging. Highly recommend Dan’s Fish to anyone looking to add healthy, vibrant life to their aquarium!

  • Comment: Excellent individual packaging. They came in great condition, one of them had a damage fin but recovered quickly. Unfortunately they were small and not sexed so I ended up with 4 males and only 1 female which I have to remove from that tank to keep her safe.

  • Comment: Great fish buying experience! I ordered three Hillstream Loaches and they shipped on the scheduled day and arrived the next morning. They were well packaged with Styrofoam, double bagged, and with extra bags of water to help hold temp. They are doing great. Would definitely buy from Dan again. Chet

I purchased a coral pattern Pleco, a demon hillstream loach and a couple of Sterbai Corys this time. They are fat and happy!

  • Comment: I am bummed, one of my electric blue rams didn’t survive. I have put this review off for a week, because I had hoped to write all fish arrived healthy and thriving. The EBR that died didn’t seem okay from the start, was very thin and never really wanted to eat. I hatched some live baby brine shrimp to try to entice him, but it didn’t work. He lingered for a week and then died. The others are robust and growing, but this one didn’t seem healthy. With that said, I feel Dan is a reputable person and has a great selection of fish and I will definitely order again.

  • Comment: Both of these species were purchased to add to existing groups. I can find both at my LFS but Dan’s are just a higher quality with better colors. You all already know that no one ships better than Dan’s so I won’t beat that dead horse, but I can say that I’d rather pay the extra shipping cost and price per fish than save a few bucks and get lesser quality.

  • Comment: Long review but I'll put the basics up top. Great business based on the shipping, packaging, and health. Also if you haven't read threw the "about their business" it's definitely something you want to read/support. Fish came absolutely perfect. I loved the description of the fish to help you make an informed decision. We are new to anything other then goldfish and this really helped us choose not just based on looks but what was best for our setup. Other positives I've checked numerous times and they are constantly getting new kinds of fish in. They reach out every step of the way. When I got the email to leave a review is stated an honest review, not many companies do that anymore. The cost is going to be more. Though it's worth it to have happy, healthy fish shipped as quickly as possible. We can't stand the way box stores treat their fish. Pro/Con At least our order most were babies and weren't as vibrant as we were hoping. Though after some research we learned with age comes the vibrant color. So con is if your looking for bright colors right off the bat theirs a possiblity you may not get them. For us it ended up being a pro because with proper care we can have them longer then older fish. Honestly from the way the sites set up, quality of service, shipping, health of the fish I have nothing bad to say. Just need more tanks now!

  • Comment: 17 Gold White Cloud Mountain Minnows arrived via UPS NDA at 10:00 in the morning 5 days ago. Each fish individually double bagged. Water temperature in a bag= 76 degrees. All the fish were healthy and acclimated quickly. They had their first meal that afternoon and are still healthy and active. The shipment was delayed a day as there had been a tornado in the town where the local UPS hub was located. Instead of leaving my shipment to the uncertainty of the tornado damage Dan's Fish retrieved the shipment and sent it out after UPS service was restored. I was deeply grateful for their care of my shipment.

  • Comment: When I got my pea puffers and amano shrimp they were all healthy and happy. Although one puffer I received does have a slight spine deformity so I had contacted customer support and they were very helpful and had said that was not up to their standard and was sorry it slipped through the cracks, so to speak. I had gotten a refund on the puffer and cost of shipping for said puffer. Overall I will be ordering again in the future and will always recommend others order from here too!

  • Comment: I would give 4.5 as a rating if possible. I purchased 6 long fin peppered corydoras and 4 giant kuhli loaches. Everyone arrived alive and as of now, two weeks post delivery, they are all still alive. Zero signs of illness. The experience was mostly positive and I would absolutely buy from here again! Highly recommend getting fish from here! The only reason I did not rate them 5 stars was because all the corydoras had fin damage upon arrival. They all had at least one damaged fin, as if they were broken sometime during shipping. I will note they have all been healing up nicely and only one still has signs of the injury. Additionally, all the fish are pretty skittish. They still scatter a bit when I approach the tank but it’s getting better. I expect in another month or two they will be even more comfortable. These were the only negatives. The fact that they were all healthy and have adjusted well far outweighs these small nitpicks. I plan to purchase fish from here again in the future.

  • Comment: I just opened up my box to find my fish all individually bagged! I have never had that level of service in fish buying but it makes so much sense. The Kuhli loaches are all active and look great. The delivery time was as quick as promised. I am so very happy and my kids will be so excited!. 5+ stars!

  • Comment: Great fish! They arrived healthy and safe even though the UPS person put them on my concrete front porch in full sun while it was 90 degrees out. The best water and packing in the business. The thread fin and electric blue acaras are old enough to be proven healthy and young enough to grow out and color up in my parameters. It's always a pleasure to see such dedication to excellence. Thank you!

  • Comment: Best packaging I’ve ever seen fish came alive and well even after an unexpected weather delay and the bags don’t smell like other places once they arrived also the specimen are absolutely breathtaking! I stayed anxiously waiting every minute until the delivery ups came but I’m glad they are safe now !

  • Comment: This was my first time ordering fish for delivery. I chose Dan because of Cory at Aquarium Co-op. The fish arrived in a temperature controlled, insulated box, individually double bagged. They were immediately happy, fat, healthy little guys. What a great experience! This is a great way to find the fish you want when local fish stores don't carry them. Thanks!

  • Comment: Peacock Gudgeon...came in alive and swam away to hide. Was doing fine though and arrived just as noted. I appreciate how your orders are scheduled and you don't have to wait forever to have them shipped...it's all according to plan and quickly processed. UPDATE: The Peacock Gudgeon finally came out today and ate. This happened with the one I got previously so it appears to be a thing.

  • Comment: My order was delayed because of UPS. It was 8-9 days after they shipped that I received them. I figured all the fish would be dead. I was totally surprised and absolutely shocked but only 3 arrived doa out of 17!!! I was reimbursed immediately. Dave packs his fish very very good and makes sure there’s heat/cold… whichever is needed. I will definitely continue to order from him. The fish are thriving!! Thank you Dave!!!

  • Comment: I’ve been waiting to order from Dan’s Fish since this past winter. Living in the Midwest, I always try to wait to order fish until the warmer weather arrives to increase my chances of success. Since I had never ordered from Dan’s before, I figured I’d start small with a first order of Fancy Sunrise High Fin Platys (2 males, 2 females) and a 3-pack of Red Onion Nerite Snails.Right off the bat, being able to select my shipping date was clutch—it let me make sure I’d be home on the arrival day. My order arrived as scheduled via UPS before noon. Everything was packed perfectly, and all the animals were alive. I floated the five small bags for 20 minutes and, using a pre-soaked fine mesh net, gently placed my new fish and snails into my well-established, heavily planted 36-gallon bow front aquarium. The Platys are colorful, fat, and sassy. They immediately began exploring their new home—and resumed mating. I mean, gee, they were separated in bags overnight, so they appeared to be pretty “horned-up” as a result. The Red Onion Nerites, albeit a little smaller than I expected, eventually disappeared into the plants for safety, so I assume they’re pleased. Are Dan’s prices a little above average? Maybe. But I truly believe you get what you pay for. Ordering from Dan’s was a pleasure, and I definitely plan to place another order before the next Midwest winter arrives here in OH-IO.

  • Comment: I combined 3 orders and I love this new feature. The fish all arrived alive and I am shocked how much the gungeon has already colored up. The fish are small still and so cute. They are busily exploring their tanks and are fat and happy. I love buying from Dan's because my fish always arrive healthy and happy.
