  • Comment: I was a little skeptical about ordering fish on line. I trusted the great reviews they have received and I couldn't be happier. I look forward to ordering more soon!

  • Comment: I always order from Dan's Fish and every time I have ordered, I always get healthy fish. Its not always perfect, but they are always quick to address your issues when you email them, and they are helpful. I ordered some gobies and they instantly colored up in my tank and are eating! They look amazing. I will for sure continue ordering from Dan's fish!

  • Comment: All fish/shrimp were packaged extremely well and the order shipped exactly when they said it would. Days later no sign of illnesses and they are all alive and seemingly doing great. Will definitively be purchasing some fish from Dan’s again. Order was for 3 blue stiphodon gobies, 2 otocinclus, and a 4-pack of orange shrimp.

  • Comment: I will never buy fish from anyone else! Two gorgeous pairs of endlers arrived happy and healthy. Seriously don't waste your money elsewhere with the hopes some might survive. The care in packaging ... Each fish in its own bag. Never any leaks or crushed boxes.

  • Comment: Living in a major metro area, I’d assumed I had more local options for fish stores. Turns out, I really only have big chains near me. Which pretty much carry the same 25 or so kinds of fish. I had my heart set on an apistogramma cacatuoides, and ordering from Dan ended up being a terrific choice. Fast, safe shipping. Also, it’s nice to see his facilities on his YouTube channel - getting a peek at how dedicated he and his staff is.

  • Comment: Dan's fish is the gold standard for online aquarium livestock. Period. You get what you pay for and I will gladly pay slightly more knowing that my fish have been humainly sourced and that if anything doesn't go as expected, that I will have no issues working with Dan's fish to make it right. There is no reason to order from anywhere else.

  • Comment: Best shipping experience hands down, the package did show up an hour early so give yourself a little leeway when you’re waiting on your fish. Each fish individually packaged and very lively, a week after the fact and each fish is happy as can be colored up nicely, definitely will be ordering again, Dan and the team definitely have this process down pat, well done

They all colored up within minutes of being released in the tank and the majority have already started eating. Thank you once again for these beautiful fish.

  • Comment: This was my 2nd time ordering from Dan’s Fish and won’t be my last. I received all 10 fish alive and looking healthy. I’ve ordered fish online from 3 separate sellers now, Dan’s being the first time because he seemed reputable. I tried buying from another seller who I had heard of before (admittedly because the prices were a bit lower), and i learned my lesson. With the other seller, their responses via email were short and came across as annoyed. I paid for overnight shipping and received all alive in dirty looking water, not individually packaged and unmarked as to what species of fish was in what bag. 5 of 6 of the fish of the same species died within the first two days and 1 left alive was a neon tetra, which isn’t what I paid for. From what I’ve seen, Dan himself explains why his fish are a bit more than some other sellers out there and now I know (or learned for myself) why that is: you truly get what you pay for. I had some questions on this recent order about the pseudomugil species, and again Jonny helped answer them promptly. Lastly, due to my profession, my work hours leave me with one weekday off. And (again), Dan’s Fish accommodated my request so that I could ensure I’d be home to receive the fish I ordered. Each fish is individually packaged in water that appears clean, every fish appeared healthy and every bag is clearly marked so you know what you’re getting. After a horrible experience from another online seller, I appreciate Dan’s philosophy of wanting people to receive healthy, quality fish even more now. If there’s a certain kind of fish you want and can’t find locally, I highly recommend Dan’s. Especially if health & quality of the fish as well as transparency from who you’re buying from, matter to you.

  • Comment: Want honesty? Here you are: The UPS fella (was tracking the truck) drove around like a blind mouse...sure glad his phone headset was working, so he could continue his imperative, personal conversations, Robinhood stock tips via Nancy Pelosi, or simply checking on the status of the war in Ukraine. Found this fun fact out, when he interrupted his conversation to ask "Jeff?" at delivery and clocked the delivery.............Once the blind, very hip, and up-to-date on world affairs man left, the order arrived with some overheated bags (actually could've been worse, since that day was overcast here in SWFL). A couple fellas arrived super-stressed...freaked. All hands on deck, bags in tank IMMEDIATELY, reached out to Dan's Fish during the temps cool-down, and then drip acclimation to ease their journey from the "death valley" heat. Customer service absolutely took care of me, the fish are ABSOLUTELY-KILLER! In +/-40 years of off-and-on fishkeeping (I'm one of the nerds that bought the hard cover encyclopedia of tropical fish back in the '80's with my allowance), the. singlemost. beautifully-conditioned. specimen. ever. From stressed to fully colored/settled in within 24 hours - this, I believe, is the truest testament to their health at the time of shipping. IF you're on the fence in terms of cost (like I was, frankly), scope out the Dan's Fish tours on YT. He runs through their best practices, quarantining, feeding, keeping, and gives the low-down, per species...and is open on their pricing (whether generally or per species). I absolutely will be back (when my regular, more professional UPS driver returns from vacation, dropping my deliveries at +/- the beginning of his route!?). Plus, I became a bit of a chatty cathy over email with Dan's Fish (apologies to whomever was fielding all the those)...all emails had a response :) If you made it to the end of this review, I congratulate you and wish you the best of luck in your, personal fishkeeping journey!

  • Comment: Got my little guys on time today, UPS was sure to just toss the package on my steps. Despite being a little traumatized they are fine and now cruising around the tank making new friends. Don’t know if it would help, but maybe put a “live fish” sticker on the box so the delivery folks might be a bit more gentle?

They are doing great and the neon blue striping on them is amazing. Third order from Dan and will be a life long customer. Go Dan!!

They let me know the estimated day for shipping and I received them the following day. The fish were all individually bagged and the delivery box was well insulated and had a few extra bags of water only for temperature regulation. Very pleased with the experience and Dan's Fish will be a go-to place for my next order.

  • Comment: Good morning. Just sharing that I just received my second order ever of fish from you. All 10 fish arrived alive and well. The 23 fish from my first order shipped on 6/24 also arrived alive and and are doing well. I am so happy with your shipping and packing. Worth every penny. When they arrive they aren’t bouncing around wildly in the bag. Very little fish poop if any in the bags. Just the perfect amount of water in each individual bag. And the care of the placement of the bags in the box is evident. I am nearing 60 years of age and have had no more than one tank since i was in my teens. About 3 years ago I converted to a dirted substrate and heavily planted tank and have never enjoyed the hobby or had as much success with plants and fish as I do now. I look forward to staying with you as a customer and as a subscriber to your YouTube channel. Hope you receive many more likes and reviews like this one.

Was extremely impressed with shipping process, packaging of fish and overall health of fish (I’m not sure I’ve ever seen such chonky leopard cory fish😂) One of the hillstream loaches was doa, and I promptly received a refund. I had one Pygmy Cory that quickly went down hill and died a few days later, and they refunded that one as well. It’s been several weeks now and all of the other fish ordered have thrived. I will definitely order from this site again !!!!!

  • Comment: Received the order Tuesday - now it's Saturday and all are healthy and adjusted well to their new home. The red neon blue eyes were tiny but I swear they are growing as I watch them! Seriously - in just 4 days they are noticeably larger. The coral red pencilfish are absolutely stunning - well worth the price. I have wanted these for awhile but just had to wait for them to be available at the right time.

  • Comment: I have had nothing but 5/5 experiences. There was a potential issue with a fish in my order and instead of seeing what happened. There was great communication to make other arrangements. Really can not ask for more, especially dealing with small wonderful living creatures. Thanks again!!

  • Comment: All 23 fish arrived alive and active. I was very surprised that each fish was individually packaged and labeled. This is a huge plus to me as a hobbyist. The water they arrived in was clean and clear. There was minimal if any fish poop in each fish’s bag which indicates to me a lower stressful trip. Thank you!

  • Comment: what a difference! I had been dealing with another fish place and got ich covered cpd's with almost no tail or fins left. all 5 died during drip acclimation and setting up a quarantine tank, the place Said they were healthy when they packed them and asked for pictures of dead fish. I didn't want more fish from that place and to lie like that I just won't do business with them anymore. dans fish arrived happy and healthy and already colored up, I used to have to wait weeks for fish from the other place to acclimate. I love dans fish and they will have all my future business.great packaging and healthy fish. they are doing it right. UPDATE 1 WEEK LATER...I still can't believe the difference. I have been dealing with other online fish retailers and have always received juvenile fish, so young and unhealthy that I couldn't tell the difference between cpd's and dwarf emerald rasboras. always arrived with at least one dead and half eaten most diseased and malnourished. it would always take weeks for them to open their fins and color up(if they lived that long).dans fish arrived fully colored and zesty. I added 3 dwarf emerald rasboras to my existing 5 and my existing five always stayed hidden in the plants or behind the bubble wall, the new guys are much more active and not as shy, they come out to eat. I also added 4 cpd's to my existing 2 and all are out swimming about. one of the new ones, I know because he is smaller, has become the dominant male already. he is beautiful with dark coloring, bright spots and wide open fins and tail with deep orange and black and orange underside. I will never buy online from anyone else but dan. I am so happy I found them, I just wish I had sooner. I've wasted a lot of time and money on sick baby fish and shrimp and put my existing stock at risk introducing these sub par fish into my tanks. thank you dan you are doing it right, I wish I could tell all online fish buyers to stop messing around with other places and deal with you only.

  • Comment: I wanted to wait at least 72 hours after I received the order before I reviewed the fish I ordered from Dan's Fish. I've been in the hobby since 1988 (36 years) and this is the first time I ordered live fish in the mail. The two Female Blue Kribs I ordered are doing fine now. I took the order directly from the hands of the UPS delivery driver and immediately began the acclimation process. They took about a day to settle in and start eating. One female is more aggressive than the other one was so I had to split them up on the second day because she was constantly bullying the other one. I couldn't find any Super Red females locally for the two male Super Reds I have so I am going to pair the Blue Females with the Super Red males and see what kind of offspring I get from the mix. I would recommend your company to any other first time mail order customers and I will probably be a return customer in the future. Thanks again, J.T.

  • Comment: I ordered 5 panda garra and two rainbow fish. All of them arrived in good health. Unfortunately two of my panda garra disappeared on day three. There is absolutely no trace of them. Panda garra are known escape artist and even though I thought I had sealed the exits, they may have squeezed out a small exit in the cover where the air hose enters. If that happened my cats may have found them before I did. I don't think that's the seller's fault, just really really seal things up with new young panda garra. All the remaining fish have settled in well.

  • Comment: This will be an atypical review. Dan's Fish definitely earned a 5-star review, but some of the fish received did not. The Peacock Gudgeons and Ember Tetras in this order were and continue to be perfect. No deaths and happy, healthy, fun little fishes. In the same shipment, but listed as a different order, the Hovering Zebra Loaches and Dwarf Chain Loaches were and continue to be equally perfect. But the Green Neon Tetras in this order were not perfect. Of 20 ordered and received (apparently in perfect shape), within a week or two, 11 of 20 had died (8 within the first 2-3 days of receipt). I don't know why. They looked great upon receipt, and all the fish in this shipment went in the same, cycled, planted tank. Every other species is thriving. There has been 0 ammonia and 0 nitrate in this tank the whole time; and upon receipt, the shipping water had 0 ammonia, 0 nitrite, and 0 nitrate -- and temperature was great, 75-78 F. I don't blame Dan's for the deaths of the Green Neons in any way. And their service was, always, fantastic. I was refunded for the fish that died within the first few days plus the associated shipping costs, despite these fish arriving alive and looking good. The surviving 9 green neons have done great and appear to be thriving. They are absolutely gorgeous in a planted tank with dark substrate and background. Dan's Fish stands behind the fish they sell! I will continue to order fish from Dan's. I love what they are doing -- in every way. I am a fan, with no hesitations about ordering from them again. But I won't be buying Green Neon Tetras from them or anyone any time soon. Maybe this species is just too sensitive for me. And really, why bother? Cardinal Tetras was more beautiful and, apparently, less sensitive, at least based on my experience (with fantastic Cardinals from Dan's). Though the fact that Green Neon tetras stay smaller and thus are more practical for a small aquarium is a point in their favor.

  • Comment: Another great order from Dan's Fish! All my little hastatus corys arrived fat and sassy, and are still going strong almost a month later. They're making a great addition to the tank, which contains Tiger Teddies and Pygmy Swordtails that I also got from Dan. I can't wait to try breeding these little guys. Every other order has been a breeding success story.

  • Comment: Our fish arrived happy and healthy, each in their own small separate bag. The blue flame Apistogramma male colored up almost the moment I let him loose in the tank with iridescent blue body and a tail that truly does look like flames. The female immediately started exploring and her color is a sparkling gold. Both fish are unstressed and interested in their surroundings. We are delighted!
