Comment: Placed an order for ember and lemon tetras, dwarf mollies, and some cherry shrimp and algae shrimp. All fish arrived alive and healthy with zero signs of illness. They were placed into a well cycled, planted tank and have all been doing exceptionally well for the past 10 days. I am very happy with the quality of livestock I received, and plan to continue using Dan's Fish in the future. Very pleased.

Comment: It was cold and windy out, so the fish were a bit chilled. But they were all alive and have suffered no ill effects thus far. The Fox Lizard and Erromyzon Hillstream Loaches are very pretty. The Dwarf Mollies are also charming. I wish I had found them earlier so I could get more than three.
The only hiccup is that the website's shipping calculator listed the box as full with only 9 fish in it. The box came with an empty padding bag, so I'm not sure why it wouldn't let me add another fish while ordering.

Comment: I requested more females, and five of the eight were indeed female. All but one of the fish came in good condition. One of them though was DOA and looked like it had its abdomen torn. Dan's fish refunded his cost and tested the tank to check for pathogens. Consensus is that the DOA was damaged in shipping.
Three weeks in, one of the females looks a bit skinny. But otherwise they are doing well.

Comment: All fish came in good condition. The toothpick fish were all nice and fat. The threadfin rainbows immediately started posturing among themselves in the quarantine tank. They do seem to be all male, which is good for being pretty, but less good for getting babies from them.

Comment: I’ve always struggled to get healthy cardinal tetras from other sellers—either they arrived stressed, or I couldn’t keep them alive for long. This was my first order from Dan’s Fish, and every single cardinal not only survived, but they’re thriving in my tank. Bright colors, active, and eating well.
I also ordered orange Venezuelan corydoras, and they all showed up perfectly healthy and are doing amazing. Their color and behavior were spot-on right out of the bag.
One thing that really impressed me was the shipping quality. When I opened the box, the internal temperature was 75°F, and I live in North Alabama.
Yes—Dan’s Fish is more expensive than most places. But after this experience, I can say confidently: the quality is absolutely worth it. Healthy fish, zero losses, and an stress-free experience. I’ll be ordering again!

Comment: This was the first time I've ordered from Dan's Fish. I waited a few weeks to write this review so I could really see how they did. I ordered a Apisto Cacatuoides Double Red Trio. Initially I was a nervous of the price since I hadn't ordered before and wasn't sure of the quality. Everything I had read said Dan's Fish was one of the top places to get mail order live fish, and they were correct. You totally get what you pay for. The three fish I ordered came very well packaged and looked very good right out of the package. Once they were in the aquarium they looked happy and colored up quickly. They have been in there for about 3 weeks and both females already have little baby apistos. Overall just a 5 out of 5 experience all the way around.

Comment: I cannot express how happy I am with my order. First, I want to say that I saw an extremely positive review on r/loaches complimenting how well packaged the critters were and how well they flourished in a short time. I'd gotten some kuhli loaches from a LPS and I wanted to get them some more little friends.
In my order, I asked to please give the loaches kisses as a little good luck charm. I got a reply back of 'fish kisses incoming' and melted, that made my week :) They were shipped on monday and tuesday morning they were on my doorstep. Each little loachie was double bagged and packed tightly (not too tight) into a form fit syrofoam box. As I acclimated them, they were really lively. Now they've been in their new home for about a week, and they're *so* adventurous!!
I wanted to buy from Dan's Fish in hopes of having the healthiest loaches, and I really feel like I found that. I could not be happier with the service I received, and for the little critters in my care. Thank you so much!!

Comment: Very satisfied! All 31 fish were double bagged individually and all were alive, healthy and active.
Started by periodically checking the updates with the email Dan's Fish sent me and at first I didn't understand why they were mailed at 6 pm but I now realize they were purposefully mailing them at the last second because they knew when UPS would pick them up from the airport and wanted them in the bags for the shortest time possible.
Honestly, the entire process could not possibly have gone any better.
Big thanks Dan's Fish!

Service was excellent and they've patiently dealt with me changing my order and asking myriad questions. Yes, they're pricy compared to others, but the quality is there to justify it, so well worth not having to worry about sick fish.

Chilis are still quite baby but otherwise seem in good condition. Finally getting them to eat for me on day 2 and am optimistic the rest of quarantine will go off without a hitch.
As usual, the corys I got from Dan are the fattest I've ever seen available commercially. Two seem to be very rotund mature females based on how orb-shaped they are.
Thanks again for the great fish!

Yes, 46th - and whether I added, cancelled, moved dates, argued the appropriate price for mellis...I have always been met with top notch customer service. Now do they have the most variety? No, but what they have is the best you can buy and the packing is what I will try to emulate when I get up the nerve to start shipping. For me, it's worth the extra cost to know, without a doubt, that I am getting healthy fish. Dan's is not my only source, but it is my favorite.

Comment: All fish arrived alive and very well packaged the attention to detail surpasses anyone in the business. Each fish was double bagged and laser printed on the bag of what it was. As many of mine were juveniles it would have been hard to tell them apart inside the bag so this was fantastic. It also wasn't hand written by a rushed employee to where you couldn't read the writing. They are currently acclimating to their new homes. I see a place to add a video URL suggestion would be add a spot to add pictures.

Heat pack in styrofoam and box labeled as “live fish” and “fragile”. Customer service was very kind and responded quickly. My request was fulfilled as well.

Comment: Shipping was delayed because of UPS airline tragedy- in doing so, it shows that Dan’s Fish really cares about their fish. I was impressed.
My order arrived in perfect condition- all fish were active and looking good. They are drip acclimating now and I can’t wait to see them in my tank when I can turn on my lights- well worth the price- all fish are always shipped in a solo bag and the packing is super.

I did divide the 3 into 3 separate tanks for algae control. They fit right in with the community tank inhabitants. Thank you Dan for doing what you and your team do. Always a pleasure to receive happy healthy fish and invertebrates from your business. Take care and catch ya on the next Live stream! 😁☮️❤️🐠🦐🐌🌱

Comment: Of course after winning the 6 Costae tetras I needed to fill out the shipping box, so I also got 2 more Costae tetra, blue shrimp, zebra nerites, green leaf algae eating shrimp, Apisto Nijsseni pair. So yes, I ended up with a bigger box! 😆
All arrived in healthy and energetic condition. The heat packs were still going strong and the water temp in the bags was a perfect 77 deg.
I always check the water parameters in bags of shipped fish. I have hard well water with high tds. And yours was an exact match. And I live in western MD! Crazy!
*The Apistos are beautiful and have decided to have their own places for now-coconut huts on rt & left of the tank. Hope they decide to shack up and give me some babies.
Thanks Dan and team for allowing me to add to the order not once but twice before shipping date. Love that we are able to choose a delivery date! 😁☮️🐠🦐🐌🌱

Comment: Yay! I won these 6 Costae tetras during Dansfish livestream on 10/22/25. Love these guys! I did add on to my order and got 2 more to enlarge the school a bit. As always the shipping was top notch and all arrived active and very healthy. These went into a community 29 tank. Thanks Dan and team! You’re the best!😁☮️❤️🐠🦐🐌🌱

Comment: The fishies arrived alive and kicking. All are actively exploring their new home. After being in their new aquarium for about 3.5 hours they are actively feeding. Now, the next morning, all are doing well.

Comment: The quality is fantastic and the packaging/shipping process preserves that quality. The fish ship in individual bags and Corydoras species come with carbon in their bags for extra protection. Will order again!

Comment: Healthy, beautiful CPDs. Received a nicely mixed group and they’re already starting to color up! It is absolutely worth waiting for these guys if they’re out of stock.

Comment: All fish arrived healthy in individual bags, within the expected timeframe. blueberry tetras are already pretty big and colorful, the racoon tetras and sterbai corys are small, and will need to grow out for a few months.

Comment: Another perfect order from Dan’s Fish! Worked at an LFS for years decades ago, so am pretty picky over quality; Dan’s exceeds my expectations. Fish always eat right after acclimation! All fish are healthy & well-priced. My first goto store when stocking another aquarium.

Comment: This is the second time I order from Dan's Fish and am as impressed with my fish as much as I was the first time. My delivery made its way to my residence at 9:38 AM, I on the other hand did not return home from work until almost 4 PM. I was a little anxious and excited and a bit worried but the fish were fine. They were snuggly packed in the box and the heat pack still provided a nice ambient temperature. It's been almost a week and my fish have regained most of their color (lost due to stress from shipping) and my tank is looking nice and busy. Will be ordering again when the butterfly loaches are back in stock! Thanks for everything!
