  • Comment: This was the first order I actually had an issue with from Dan's. Bit annoyed by UPS right now, but Dan's Fish was extremely positive. I ended up losing half the order, but Dan's Fish worked with me on it and more than made it up to me. As Dan mentioned in the livestream, he actually considers why you'd be buying specific quantities from him. If half a pair doesn't make it, he may replace the lost fish so that your breeding project doesn't suffer. And the replacements aren't just culls he had sitting around, they're great looking fish in their own right. For an order that had as much trouble as it did, Dan's Fish went above and beyond to turn it around. I'm very pleased with the result. I've bought from him before, and I don't plan to ever stop.

  • Comment: Dan takes amazing care of his fish, better than most fishkeepers I'd say. At first glance I found his pricing too high but have come to recognize the costs more than reasonable. This was my first experience with an online shipper giving more than a 4-5 hour window for delivery. Dan gave a specific hour, and then was twenty minutes early. I can't imagine shopping anywhere else.

  • Comment: This was my 2nd order from Dan’s. Everything from shopping, to shipping, to quality and health of fish was absolutely stellar. I have ordered fish a ton of times from different vendors, but have never experienced the level of attention to detail like when ordering from Dan’s. The hype is absolutely real and worth every penny spent. If I could give this a 10/5 I would, bravo to Dan and his crew. Until my next order…

  • Comment: All fish came in healthy and ate straight away, except one indostomus was DOA. I don't blame Dan for this since it was likely on my end -- I came home a few hours after delivery meaning the box sat in my room for added time. Overall really impressed with the care in packaging and emphasis on humane treatment. Well worth the money.

  • Comment: I got these fish just under a week ago and was super nervous bc UPS actually delayed their delivery and when they arrived they were super super stressed. HOWEVER, I am fully sold on the quality at Dans fish bc these fish perked up and tonight (less than a week later!) they were already exhibiting spawning behavior! Another fantastic experience and I really don’t wanna buy fish from anyone else ever again. 1000/10

Hopefully they will make the adjustment to their new home and their little red noses will start glowing. Only took a few hours for all the Red Noses to light up. Now they’re constant motion, best schooling fish ever !

Little warm for the rasboras so they were moving rather slowly . Swords perked right up once in the tank … fingers crossed … yes after my last order the quarenteen tank is back in action

  • Comment: Rating should really be 4.75, but they only offer whole numbers. I ordered 4 Denison Barbs which were great. I ordered 4 Apisto Cacatuoides (unsexed) and happily got 2 males and 2 females. Absolutely beautiful males! I also ordered 4 Corydoras sterbai "Aquarium Strain". This is where we went wrong. They did all arrive alive, but one was EXTREMELY skinny. It was moving in the bag, but once I got it out, I could see it better. It had the shape of a tadpole. Normal head, but no width behind. When I put them in the tank, it dropped right to the bottom and lay there upside down. It did move around a little bit over the next couple hours and I hoped for the best. I threw some frozen baby brine in, hoping it would start to eat, but it was dead within 3 hours. I would absolutely buy from Dansfish again, but, in this case, I don't think there was anything I could do to save this guy. *Just a follow up- I wasn't expecting a refund, but was happily surprised. Great customer service. Definitely getting more fish from Dansfish in the future.

  • Comment: I hate to leave this, but 3 weeks after my order I need to update my experience. Everything came in looking good. Ordered a pair of sailfin mollies, 6 Raccoon Tetras, 5 Red Celebes Halfbeaks "Muna Regency", 1 Hygrophila corymbosa 'Compacta', and 1 Microsorum pteropus 'Sunrise'. Mollies immediately developed stress ich, but responded well to salt. Raccoons are doing ok but a few were missing parts fins when they came in. Red Celebes developed a body fungus a couple days after delivery. After two back to back 5 day treatments with Maracyn I lost 3 out of 5. I did email Dan's Fish with my water parameters. They didn't say they were problematic and said to finish treatment. All of my tanks are seasoned with shrimp and plants living in them for at least 3 months prior to adding any fish. I have 14 other tanks going in the fish room and none of them have had any issues, other than the Dan's Fish tanks. Each species got it's own 20 gallon tank that's seasoned with plants and shrimp. The Compacta was tiny for the price while the Sunrise was amazing. On a $300 order I was happy with less than 1/2 the product. I might try them again in the future but my first experience was underwhelming. Stick to your LFS if you have one.

  • Comment: My order of shrimp not only came with an extra blue one, but several pregnant adults that birthed over 10 shrimplets the day I put them into my tank. Now I have an explosion of happy healthy Skittles shrimp.

  • Comment: I ordered (8) C. alleni Wapoga/small and (8) A. cacatuoides triple red/small. All fish were alive upon arrival, but one of the C. alleni was damaged and unable to swim normally. I'm not a fan of the small, individual packages - fewer fish per package and possibly more handling of the fish. I received two shipments of fish last week via USPS 2-day priority mail - zero dead/damaged, more fish/package, and one-third the shipping cost.

  • Comment: Everyone arrived alive. The pygmy corys were a bit subdued because UPS tossed them over my gate... but 4 days later they are all perky and happy. I love Dan's fish. I wish it was cheaper, BUT I understand and support why it isn't = )

  • Comment: I have now received 3 different orders from Dan's Fish. Every fish has arrived (and stayed) alive and well! The heart and attention to detail that Dan's put into caring for, packing and shipping their fish shines through! They also excel with communicating with their customers, reaching out with any concerns, as well as, answering any questions promptly. The level of service is beyond compare and the fish are beautiful, fat and sassy, as promised! Truly a "get what you pay for" experience!!!

  • Comment: I was really uneasy about doing an online fish order. I didn't want to contribute to the typical treatment of live fish in the mail. I had only ordered fish online one previous time and I wasn't too pleased with the results. I decided to give Dan a try. I had all my meds ready and QT tank for arrival. To my surprise, it all went well. No DOA's, no disease. I was impressed! Thanks for making it easy on me and the fish!! At 6 weeks, all fish are still alive and thriving, and the shrimp I ordered, too!

  • Comment: So far so good—the fish came out of the box very active in their bags. A few of the fish found bottom corners and rested for a while after being introduced, but most began exploring within minutes—and everyone colored back up within the first few hours (would have anticipated a few days). By the end of the day everyone was eating, looking happy and healthy, and grouping up with their similar sp. tank mates. Haven’t noticed any territorial aggression yet but still day one. Again, so far I am very pleased as a first time customer—specimens were not young or weak appearing—all good size, healthy individuals. The packaging was very good and assistance almost instant when I emailed about any specific acclimation procedures. Impressed with the experience and am confident they’ll work with customers if there is die off even after transit. Well done, especially with such an extensive selection.

  • Comment: Well keeping this at 5 but I ended up killing all the fish :( . I unfortunately, work nights and fell asleep prior to the order arriving and 4 hours on the porch seemed to weaken all the fish and over time lost them all.

The Hillstream loaches are a good size and will certainly add interest to the aquarium. Thanks for your great selection and service! George H.

  • Comment: The 12 corys arrived alive and looking great. They were all eating frozen brine shrimp tonight. I’m watching them play in the outflow of the hang on back. The two sword plants are the best I’ve bought. The size, color and root structure are amazing. Thanks to Dan and the fish monger crew.
