  • Comment: First time ordering fish online so as expected i was a bit apprehensive. But Dan made the process very easy and explained every step. My fish arrived happy and healthy. After acclimation in their new tank. they were very active off the bat. I could tell they were in good condition and excited about their big new tank after their long trip. I have already placed a second order for some Congo Spotted Puffers and cannot wait until next week when they arrive.. Thanks Dan!

  • Comment: Again, I am satisfied with Dans Fish. Everything went smoothly and rec'd a healthy fish. Wish they could be sexed but they are small and hard to sex so I understand. Hope to buy from here again. I'd like to purchase a Black Paradise fish next.

  • Comment: For customer service and quality, nobody else compares to Dan's Fish. Ordering rare and expensive fish during a bout of freezing weather was scary, but they arrived safe and warm. Within minutes of hitting their new tank the Super Red Kribensis were colored up and happily picking through the sand. The peacock eels are right at the front of the tank hanging out, despite multiple hides avaliable. I'm so excited to watch them grow!

  • Comment: Dan's Fish shipped me some guppies during freezing temperatures to Upstate, NY. I've tried two other companies to do the same and both failed (DOA fish). Dan's Fish has certainly earned their 5 star review. Also, if you are on the fence about overnight shipping costs, don't be! It's worth it to have your fish alive. Also love that they use UPS. USPS is too slow. Nice job to the team. I'll be a return customer.

Nervous because it was a huge order shipping in the dead of winter… Very excited that it arrived in great shape! Thanks, Dansfish

  • Comment: I've been in the hobby almost 50yrs and always hated ordering fish in the winter but decided to give dan a chance because I've been watching his YouTube videos for a few years . It turned out fantastic from the time the shipping label was created it took around 20 hours for the fish to arrive in Brooklyn ny.the heat packs were still warm and loved that each fish were individually bagged. All the fish arrived alive with no issues .the customer service was excellent also I had a few questions and was answered back very quickly. I definitely will order again

  • Comment: Unbelievable! I will not purchase fish online from anyone else. I purchased 48+ fish (tetra's, barbs and cory's) and each fish was individually double bagged with ample water and oxygen. Shipped across the US in January to the Northeast, the care of packaging and the extra layers of heat packs to create a stable environment was impressive. All arrived alive and active, they are all doing great and acclimated well. Dan's definitely cares as much as I do about the health and safety of the fish, which is paramount to me. From my 50+ years of experience in the hobby, Dan's is simply the best at in the industry.

  • Comment: For years I had been skeptical about ordering fish online. However, after watching Dan's Fish YouTube livestreams, I decided to try it. After being delayed for a day by UPS, 16 of 17 fish arrived alive and active. Unfortunately a pygmy corydora did not make it. I took a picture and emailed them. I received my refund in less than an hour. Great customer service! By the way the Ember tetras look much more colorful than the ones I got from my lfs and it has only been 2 hours!

Next day air with fish shipped later in evenings- meaning they are not in box long. Last time a got a horned garra and checkered barbs, this time another horned garra, neon goby, badis and a paradise fish. All healthy and beautiful. I love the unique fish selection here!

  • Comment: This company’s prices are high, and you won’t find shipping deals here. Please don’t let this turn you away from purchasing from Dan and his team; you are buying excellent livestock that has been treated ethically and kindly from their arrival in Wyoming to their arrival at your door. The 28 individuals that I purchased are acclimating very well in their quarantine tank. They are lively, relatively well colored, and have exceptional appetites. I am excited to add these fish to my display tanks and show them off. Again, they aren’t cheap, but that’s a good thing. Dan and his team know how to treat animals well, and we’re all benefiting from it. Thanks, fishmongers!

The fish colored up quickly once they had time to get over the stress of shipping and seem to be healthier than other places I've ordered from also. Will definitely buy from them again.

  • Comment: What a good experience. First off, Dan's has such a unique selection. I was looking for a larger schooling species for my 125 and Dan's had quite a few options to choose from. I ordered 12 Phenacogrammus sp. mokobile, a large tetra species out of Congo, which I had never seen or heard of before. I had a few questions before ordering and communication was excellent. This was a big purchase for me. I was a little nervous about buying such expensive fish online, but I'm so glad I did. The fish came in healthy and were even a little larger than I expected. Shipping was quick and the packaging was perfect. I will definitely be ordering again.

  • Comment: I've ordered these specific fish online before, (Pitbull Pleco LDA25), and nearly every experience has been an ordeal. Not with Dan's Fish! All six arrived individually bagged, and in a timely manner. I had excellent communication with Dan's Fish prior to shipping. These may be the hardiest Pitbull Plecos I've ever received. All six are going strong a month from arrival. Usually, I end up buying them like I would Otos: buy 3, hope maybe 2 survive the week. I have been pleasantly surprised. I would recommend Dan's Fish, and will definitely buy from them again.

Every single fish came alive and well and are thriving. All were of a nice size....not too big and not too small. The packaging is superb and I am sure contributes to the survival rate. Also, the contact by the seller is excellent. I was kept well informed of the order processing and shipping. Combine all this with a wide selection and competitive prices...what's not to love?

I cant say enough about their professionalism and care. Nice job!

  • Comment: My fish arrived alive and healthy. The rummy nose tetras colored up minutes after being introduced to each other. This is my first time ordering healthy chili rasbora, every other vendor has been a poor experience. 19 of 20 arrived in excellent shape, the remaining one didn't make it past acclimation. They are also extremely small, certainly juvenile/young adult while my orders from other vendors were all nearly twice the size. Make sure your filter intake has a fine sponge/mesh to ensure they don't get sucked in!

  • Comment: This is the best place that’s shipping fish out there. I went eyes deep into the hobby this year, ordering a ton of fish from different sites. Dan’s fish is heads and shoulders above the rest. Haven’t lost a single specimen out of ~100. Watch his youtube videos to see how the fish are doing. Don’t watch his youtube videos because you’ll want to buy every last fish.

  • Comment: A beautiful fish that came in extremely healthy. Their shipping and packaging is the best one fish per bag. All came alive, and healthy will definitely be doing business with them again. Had Thanksgiving week off and asked if they could ship it so it would arrive then, and they did, so I didn't have to take another day off much appreciated. Thank you all, and God bless you all.

  • Comment: I have never felt comfortable ordering fish online until I saw Dan's YouTube channel and learned what he was all about and absolutely loved what I saw and heard. Add to that, my dream fish, Phenacogrammus aurantiacus, was available in the shop along with the Aytinjo locale of Boesemani Rainbow, and I had to order some! Shipping was efficient and the fish were packed very well. They have settled in fantastically, and after only two weeks, the Golden Congo tetras were showing courtship behavior. I am beyond thrilled to have them and can't thank the team at Dan's fish enough for providing me with healthy, difficult to find fish.

  • Comment: The fish arrived a day late due to UPS sending it to the wrong location. Due to Dan's fantastic individual packing of fish and two heat packs (that were still warm) every fish survived (30)! They colored up quickly and ate, all looking amazing (Albino Tiger Barbs, Checkered barbs).

The fish are in fantastic shape and have settled nicely into their new home. Can’t wait to see them mature into stunning fish. I 100 percent recommended Dan’s Fish for any fish keeper.

  • Comment: I have had a difficult time with Rummynose tetras over the years. I’ve tried a couple local fish stores and tried an online fish store but have only succeeded in keeping about 4 healthy Rummynose tetras out of easy 40 or more attempts. I was about to give up on them, but stumbled upon Dan’s Fish. I sent an email asking about their water parameters, watched some of their online videos, and researched a few forums. I was impressed by their process of quarantining and their excellent customer service replying to my email in leads than 24 hours. I decided to give them a try. My shipment was delayed a day, due to UPS not Dan’s and I was a little worried with previous experiences with these temperamental beauties. They arrived the next day and I opened the box to find all 10 alive and well. The individual packaging for each fish is nothing short of spectacular. I drip acclimated them and placed them in my quarantine tank. The next day their noses were bright red and they were swimming around energetically and they ate enthusiastically. I monitored them for a week+ and then introduced them to the display tank. They didn’t love the move at first but were in great shape the next morning. I am so very pleased with the quality of fish and the service I’ve received. Thank you.

The packaging was exceptional and I couldn't be happier with my experience. I will 100% be shopping Dan's fish again.

  • Comment: Wow wish there was a higher rating. After trying to keep some panda corys THREE TIMES and having tons of bad luck from other sources, I decided to try one more time with some pandas from Dans. These fish aren't known for having great genetics & suffering terribly while in transit. I kept loosing fish around the 2-3 week mark. Well not even 2 weeks in the pandas are already spawning! These things are huge. We've nick-named the fat females "beluga" and "orca". Thanks for some really chunky, sassy corys :) Chilis are also looking really good. They took a while to calm down from shipping & eat, but they're finally exploring their little territory. They are notably young juveniles and are not adults. However, there have been 0 casualties thus far which is always a win. In general you will not find another source that packages fish so carefully, ensuring fish are destressed & at good weight/healthy, and responsibly sourced :)

  • Comment: Both the Congo spotted puffers and the emperor tetras arrived alive and healthy. The fish have remained healthy during the past nine days. I have placed the Congo spotted puffers in a 125 gallon tank with seven Corydoras Sterbai, a group of three line pencilfish, and five alto tapiche apistogramma. So far, I have seen no problems with aggression. The apistogramma are more likely to chase the spotted Congo puffers away than the reverse.

It's worth the shipping cost to have your fish come in individually packed. Mine all seemed happy and not too stressed after their journey. I will be ordering again soon. My experience with Dan's Fish surpassed my expectations.

The Phoenix rasboras are so tiny and cute, and the diamond tetras really do shine like diamonds 💎! I waited quite awhile to order some new fish from Dan and I'm so happy and impressed with the experience that I can guarantee I'll be ordering again, probably very soon as I have 3 tanks I'm slowly filling up. Thank you Dan's Fish for new beautful fishy friends and a perfect experience, you really are the best.

  • Comment: Tried to give a six but it wont let me. 0 D.O.A's upon arrival. Honestly, I was skeptical because I have never ordered fish online before, and to have them come in healthy and alive is amazing, especially during this cold front. Fish were individually bagged and still warm. Also, received the package a couple hours earlier than notified!
