  • Comment: My Pineapple Veiltail male swordtail and Red Cauliflower swordtail arrived in great condition! The boys are feisty and chubby! Hope to cross them with my orange veiltail swords - I love buying from Dan not only for the excellent shipping but also for the care he and his team gives to the fish! I have had no issues with Dan's Fish and their customer service (Jonny) is excellent!

  • Comment: I placed a large (for me at least!) order and everyone arrived healthy and active. The Spotted Hillstream Loach is adorable. He was tiny when he arrived, but two weeks later he's already doubled in size. I've had poor success before with some locally purchased Nerite snails, but the Zebra Nerites I received from Dan's are all thriving. They are quite active, and I enjoy watching them move around my 55 gal. aquarium.

  • Comment: All livestock arrived in great shape, and eager to get out of their bags! I've purchased from a number of online retailers and local shops, but I've always been frustrated by the conditions the animals are kept and shipped in. I'm not buying from anyone else ever again. Dan's Fish clearly cares about their animals and it shows in the quality of livestock. Can't wait to place my next order!

  • Comment: My puffers have been great and nearly a month on they're doing phenomenally. They're currently in a heavily planted tank with plenty of Neocaridina and I have every intention of adding otos now that I know everyone is healthy. I used to have scuds and a glut of ramshorn snails, but I'm 99% sure that neither populations survived the purge like I thought they would. It doesn't matter how many hiding places you think you have, the peas will find them. I can't guarantee you'll see it but I even saw one of the males practicing his puffing and for a glorious 10 seconds was a little yellow sphere. All in all, great little peas.

  • Comment: Every fish arrived on time and in great shape. I always get nervous shipping fish but living in a rural area it is the only way I can fill my aquariums. They do a wonderful job with each fish clearly marked which is handy if the fish are going into separate aquariums. I used to deal only in Gobies with Dan's Fish but I was overjoyed to discovered that there are many other options. Dan's Fish takes the worry out of buying fish online. Great job all who were involved with my order. A heart felt thank you!

  • Comment: Absolutely amazing experience. I will never buy fish anywhere again. Everything from the ordering process to receiving the fish went like clockwork. The fish were packaged effectively and with obvious care. I knew immediately upon receipt that the fish had handled the journey from Wyoming to West Virginia just fine. They are now happily swimming in my tank. They look vibrant, healthy, and, well, just perfect. I look forward to buying more fish in the future. Thanks, Dan!

  • Comment: All thirty fish arrived alive & seemingly healthy. The Corys seem a bit hyper, but I’m hoping they’ll calm down a bit (as much as Corys can!). Had forgotten how beautiful Cardinal Tetras are- their eyes are like little headlights when they catch the light. The SAE are laying low for now, but I hope they get to work soon.They have a job to do. Thanks Dan’s Fish. I’m so grateful for your high standards of care and your integrity. A.E.

They were packaged extremely well and with so much care. It is so evident to me Dan cares about his fish. I ordered 4 Reticulated Hillstream Loaches and they arrive in very good shape. It took a couple of days before they started to eat but now 10 days later they are eating with gusto! Thank you, Dan!

  • Comment: Everything was as promised. Prompt shipping, healthy fish delivered in less than 24 hours door to door. The one dead fish, which appeared to have been bent (maybe during bagging? In any case it did not appear to have passed due to disease) was refunded within an hour of reporting. Would recommend to anyone who is willing/able to pay more for the peace of mind and variety offered at Dan's.

  • Comment: I was very nervous about ordering fish online as my last experience with another retailer was terrible. With a lack of local options I decided to dig into my research and I found Dan's Fish. I was sold by his process and found his prices honestly fairly competitive for the species I was looking at. All fish came alive, happy and healthy. The packaging was great, and individual bagging something I've never seen before. I absolutely will order from them again and will tell all my friends to do so as well.

  • Comment: Update: I changed my rating to 5 stars. I sent Dan a message about the one dead guppy and I really didn’t expect a refund because it had been over 24 hours, but Dan refunded my money and partial shipping for the guppy. He was also curious about the one Cory that was different and asked for a picture. So I sent him a picture to confirm. I actually plan on buying a few more of what I think is a Venezuelan schultzei if Dan confirms so he won’t be all alone. Original post: This was not Dan’s fault, but UPS did not deliver my fish the next day by noon. It took 2 days to get my fish. I was at my house when the fish were delivered, so I unpacked them immediately. I had 7 Venezuelan Red Sail Cory’s and 3 Blue Topaz guppies. I put all the fish on a drip from my quarantine tank and let them be for over 4 hours. When I put the Cory’s in the tank,,one was having some breathing issues and he seemed much darker than the others, of the guppies, I put 2 in the tank, but kept one back as it was just lying in the ground not doing well. The Cory recovered and is fine, but he is definitely not like the others. I believe he is a Black Venezuela Cory Catfish (corydoras schultzei), and not a Venezuelan Red Sail. The guppy sadly did not make it. I have sent a message to Dan about the guppy, but have not heard back. Overall I am happy with my fish, and would buy from Dan again. I gave 4 stars because I did loose one fish, and one of the Cory’s was a different variety from what I ordered. Also, UPS should have gotten the fish to me next day for the amount of shipping.

  • Comment: Both Rams arrived on time and seemed healthy. One of the Rams has been hiding as he has been continually bullied by a smaller Bolivian Ram that has been in the 90 gallon tank for several months. Fortunately, there is a lot of vegetation and plenty of places to hide. I'm not confident in his survival and I don't have another tank that I can transfer him to.

  • Comment: I received my order of electric blue acaras, red dragon guppies and cherry shrimp today and so far, my experience has been amazing. All of the fish came in their own bag, some of them (maybe all) were double bagged and the box came well packed and warm. All of the fish were bright, colorful and plump. The red dragon guppy female is even pregnant and looks like she is going to pop out some babies any day. All of the fish went in their respective tanks, have quickly become comfortable and just got their first meal. I would highly recommend purchasing from Dans fish, the entire experience has been flawless.

The email they send out is nice too, it kind of made me feel like my friends were getting ready for a trip to come see me. I highly recommend trying Dan's!!

  • Comment: Wow!!! I could not be happier with my experience from Dan's!! I put my pair of Endlers in the tank and went to dinner. When I got home I found about 20 little babies swimming around. Great experience all around!! This was the first time I actually felt good about buying fish. Each fish came individually packaged, the water in the box was around 75, and all the fish were fat and sassy!! Well worth the money!!!

  • Comment: I ordered 20 cardinals and 6 neon dwarf rainbows. Everybody came in great shape and are “ Fat and Sassy”. They have settled well in their tanks and are feeding well. The cardinals are already colored up and the rainbows are looking great for juveniles. Thanks I will definitely order from you again. 👍

  • Comment: Wow!! I am absolutely blown away. Dan's guarantee on live arrival isn't overconfident - its underplayed. The packaging is easily best I've ever seen, and the fish were in phenomenal health upon arrival (one of my minnows was even still super colorful!!). Everyone has been added to their new homes, but the Dwarf Rasbora are especially happy: THEY STARTED BREEDING IMMEDIATELY. I like to imagine they all remembered eachother U_U and were glad to be reunited in their beautiful new home. Dan will be getting all my business fron now on, and he should get yours too!!

  • Comment: Dan's cardinal tetras are the best you are likely to find. Hardy, bright, and mine are very round after just ~3 months. Mine even pick at food that is on the sand, they tear up frozen shrimp like a pack of dogs, funny little fish. Anyway made my 2nd order and yeah, each one in its own double bagged, heat sealed package, plenty of water, he fasts them before shipping so no poo or cloudy water, just great. Now to get Dan to stock corals & saltwater fish...

  • Comment: Sorry to hear that Jonny had to clean up a tank overflow when he got in on Monday. No problem regarding the Bamboo Shrimp. These things happen. I just feel sorry for everyone having a clean up to do first thing Monday morning. Everybody else arrived here safe and sound today, and after drip acclimating, are now settling into their new home. The Amano shrimp got to work straight away, and are cleaning leaves as I type this. One of the Gastromyzon cf. psiloetron is working over one of the tank walls, and the other is giving an anubius leaf a good cleaning. The loaches are smaller than I thought they'd be, but that is fine, since their diminutive size makes them perfect for cleaning small amounts of algae off of plant leaves until they grow too big to be supported by the plants any longer. As always, it's just a joy working with all of you, and the care with which you get the fish ready for their journey is greatly appreciated not only by the fish, but also by me. You have won yourselves a loyal customer who will never go anywhere else for her fish. Thank all of you for you excellent and diligent work! You are the best! Whoever ends up reading this, pass my thanks along to everyone else who helped get these wonderful animals to me happy and healthy. The best to all of you, Katherine Porterfield

  • Comment: First time ever having a fish shipped to my house. Ordered an Electric Blue Jack Dempsey, as they are difficult to find in my area and very expensive so I did my research before choosing where I was ordering from. It showed up well packaged, happy, and alive! When I unboxed it, I could not believe how stunning it looked. The pictures on the site don’t do it justice. The journey to Charlotte NC was a long and stressful one I’m sure, but the fish looks healthy and happy! Thank you Dan for such a wonderful experience. Will definitely be a repeat customer!
