Comment: All fish arrived alive and are doing well except for one little Venezuelan cory who came out of the bag disoriented and spinning in circles. I am not sure he is going to make it. The painted swordtails are stunning! And I love the sailfin mollies. Thank you!

Comment: I received six Annie’s gobies and a reticulated hillstream loach from Dan’s fish yesterday. The fish arrived on time and are all in excellent condition. Each fish was in an individual bag. If you are considering a purchase from Dan’s, I would recommend ordering without hesitation. I have never seen better packing or nicer looking fish, right out of the bag. Note that I always drip acclimate.

Comment: Amazing experience!!! I had to change the shipment date a couple of times due to unforeseen circumstances - Dan's Fish made changing the shipment date process extremely easy and straightforward! That being when they arrived - everyone looked great and were eating "immediately" after acclimation. I ordered some long fin super red bushynose plecos and these are by far the best individual specimens that I have seen; while still small - the coloration and fin-age is incredible. I highly recommend shopping here and will continue to do so - as they have a lifetime customer and fish fan in me!

Comment: This is my second batch of black otocinclis so now I have 20. I love this species because they are mini and beautiful pattern. They are pricey but aquarium-raised so I think it is worth a premium for the hobbiest anscwell ans these vigorous young fish. Anyway all are well and appear delighted with their new home. I noticed my first 10 are really enjoying wood based on the “sawdust”. Now it is a pretty big colony so let’s see what comes! Thank you Dan for giving us this opportunity to really design our tanks through your selection (and wishlist). Lorraine

Comment: I bought kissing rice fish, long fin white cloud mountain minnows, and sweet little cherry barb youngsters. all arrived healthy, beautiful, and all of them ate within 30 minutes of being put into their tank. the white clouds immediately hung out with the other white clouds, as did the cherry barbs. this is my first time having rice fish, they ate from the top, and I also put tiny sinking baby pellets in a bare bottom corner of the tank, (the rest of the tank has substrate and plants) and the rice fish along with all of the other fish were happy to eat right from the floor of the aquarium. lovely fish, lovely experience.

Comment: Dwarf gourami came alive and healthy! There was a leak in one of the packets, but despite that everything was all good! They did send me the wrong fish at first (a raccoon tetra) instead of a dwarf gourami, but after a quick email it was resolved, and I was sent the correct fish. It was just a mistake. They even told me what kind of tetra it was after I asked, which was very kind and helpful of them. I also asked if they could send me a male gourami, and I did in fact get a male! The dwarf gourami is doing great. So is the raccoon tetra who's been shoaling with my neons while I save up to get him more friends, lol. I will def be ordering from them again in the future!

Comment: This was my first time ordering online. I've always been wary of letting someone else pick it my fish and not seeing them when I buy. But I after Dan came to our club and talked about the quarantine process and all the work they go through to ensure the fish are healthy.
After I places my order I was notified that one of the fish's fins was damaged and they wanted to keep it to monitor him.
Then when they were sure he was healthy they dropped him off to ship. Then I got a notification from the shipper that the package would be delayed due to bad weather. That made me nervous thinking of the package on a runway, in Wyoming, in a snow storm. That's when I got a message saying that the team had gone out and picked the fish back up from the airport to hold onto until the weather passed.
Eventually I did get my fish. All of them were healthy and eating within a few hours of being added into their tanks.

Despite being delayed by UPS by a day and despite UPS leaving the box down the street under our mailbox in 40 degree weather, once temperature-acclimated, the fish arrived in great shape and look very healthy! This is solely because of the care you took in packaging. Thank you again!

The pygmy sunfish colored up relly well after being introduced to their new home. I believe there is at least one male and one female but since they didn't really color up until after being introduced to the tank it's hard to tell unless I manage to see multiple at once

Comment: Ordered cherryshrimp, green tetras and cory hastatus. All tetra arrived fine, very boisterous. Hastatus looked like they went through “an experience”, 1 Cory DOA (i suspect packaging failure as it almost had no air - was refunded), several others with some scratches, couple in rough shape.
About 2 weeks later i am missing one more Cory (though could be hiding), the rest seem to be doing much better. 1 cory has extra black spot on 1 of its side that darkened and grew, almost like natural pigment (?).
Green tetras are boisterous gluttons, cherry shrimp (i received 5/4!), seem to be good, though one is growing up completely clear (?).
Overall happy with company, having this source is invaluable to noobies like me who might not be specialists in diagnosing fish ailments. Thank you, Dans Fish staff

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: 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: I've had mixed results with other online sellers in the past, but my first order here was perfect. The cost was a little higher here, but it was worth it. I particularly appreciate each fish arriving in its own bag.

Comment: Fish were incredibly well-packaged for the cooler weather. All arrived healthy and active. I’m a new aquarist, and the staff gave me plenty of advice and support. I couldn’t recommend them more!

Comment: This is my 10th order from Dan’s Fish. Everything about the company is outstanding and they are my go to fish store.
The Bolivian Rams are just gorgeous and have personality showing already. I swear one was sizing me up! The Panda Corys & the Costae Tetras are just fantastic.
Thank you Dan & Company!

Comment: I had quite a large order and every fish arrived healthy. I have ordered multiple times from Dan's Fish and have never had a problem. I had a terrible experience buying from another unnamed seller and after receiving my refund, knew I could count on Dan's Fish to receive healthy fish and I was right.

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.
