Comment: The Manacapuru Redback Angelfish is beautiful! He has perked right up after shipping and is quickly getting use to his new home. This is the third time I've used Dan's Fish and really don't see a reason to order from anyone else. Shipping is fast, fish are always happy and all of them are still living to this day. Thanks so much!

Comment: My new little guys arrived safe and sound after shipping across the entire US. They were amazingly well packed with each fish in its own bag and even had extra heat buffer water bags included to fill the space. The fish are healthy as can be, and already hunting about my tank to eat. Wickedly impressed!

Comment: As usual, every fish and shrimp arrived in excellent condition—alive and thriving a week later. However, I must note a slight difference in experience compared to other vendors. Typically, when ordering shrimp (neocaridina, in this case) from elsewhere, they often include a some extras due to the delicate nature of shrimp during shipping (aside from Amano shrimp; they are bullet proof; you don't need extras of those). With Dan's Fish, though I always receive precisely the amount I order. So, bear this in mind—if you order four cherry shrimp, you might receive exactly four, no more, no less. This isn't a criticism, especially considering that all the shrimp arrived alive. And even if there had been any issues, I know Dan's Fish would take care of me, so I can always place my orders with confidence. The primary reason I continue to order from Dan's fish is their commitment to ensuring that every fish they sell is healthy, vivacious and free from diseases and parasites. When purchasing fish, that is paramount to me and is definitely worth the price.

Comment: My second order from Dans went as great as the first. No issues whatsoever. All the fish/shrimp are doing great. I highly recommend for fish you can't find locally or can't find healthy and locally. It is worth the premium price of the fish and overnight shipping to me. Thank you to everyone at Dans Fish, you guys are really making the hobby better.

Comment: In have emailed but have not received a response. The fish came in healthy and great, but the half banded pikes I ordered are actually a different cichlid. They are Regani Dwarf pikes which means they will not reach the size I had hoped for to be living with my larger cichlids. The advertised species is crenicichla geayi and I got crenicichla regani. Over all the fish and packing are number one and the care for quarantine is awesome.

Comment: I am so impressed with Dans Fish. I am new to the fish keeping hobby and because of this I had a dozen questions. In the past I have ordered fish online from other places and they never even replied to my e mails. Dan however answered every question I asked and even delayed shipping upon request when I had problems with my tanks. And my fish arrived on time and are healthy and happy. I will be ordering here from now on.

They travelled overnight and arrived beautifully packaged and full of life. Transitioned into my tank very nicely. This is probably the best place to order from if you want quality fish that travel in careful style.

My last two orders were for fish that were out of stock and I asked to be notified when they came in. Shortly, I was notified when they became available and a week later they are in my aquarium. I also love they send an email detailing the plan for shipping and the day you can expect them. All around great!

Comment: Don’t give me wrong I really like Dan’s Fish but I ordered manacapuru anglefish and those fish a $80 each. The size of those fish was like a quarter size, I’m ordered 4 of them. One of them was really weak maybe a little bit smaller than quarter size he didn’t eat from the beginning After three weeks he was dead. I think they should select those fish little bit better before they send for customers because like I say $80 for small Fish is not cheap.

Comment: As guaranteed, all arrived alive, well packaged and doing great so far! I realized after I placed my order that I had forgotten to ask if it would be possible to mail the fish on a certain day of the week so that they would arrive on my day off (as I work in healthcare). I sent an email and Jonny responded promptly, letting me know the fish would be shipped on the day I requested. So the accommodation is greatly appreciated. This is my first time ordering fish online, and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Thanks Dan, Jonny and the team :)

Comment: Package arrived on time and warm. Shipping and communication was first rate.
All the fish appeared to be doing well on arrival but one of the black cories died shortly after.
I opened the individual fish bags into one darkened container and started drip and temp acclimation. The cories all looked okay at this time but one was a little sluggish.
After 6 hours of drip acclimation, one of the cories was belly up on the bottom. I moved him to my hospital tank overnight in case he was shocked but he never moved again.
The rest of the cories and all the rasboras moved into tank after that and are all doing well.

Comment: All my fish arrived safely and alive! Eight cherry shrimp and two black corys. Sadly, one the corys passed away two days after arrival. I saw the little fell laying on his back, motionless, several times and the next morning he was gone. After checking my water parameters and talking to the Dan's team it appears to have been due to stress. The Dan's team provided prompt responses, was very helpful and easy to work with, and they kindly reimbursed me for the loss of my fish. Once I'm ready for new additions, I'll definitely order from them again! No, they're not the cheapest, but I am happy to pay a premium for quality fish and excellent customer service.

Comment: My order arrived on time, in great shape, and at a toasty 75.5 degrees. Unfortunately, we lost one of the panda corys who was dead on arrival. The 5 other corys and 12 neon tetras all arrived in great shape. I tested the shipment water for ammonia after transfer and there was detectable amounts, but nothing I would not expect after 18 hours in transit. Neons are still hiding and defensively schooling, but I have seen them pick off some baby brine shrimp. I am hoping for some more normal behavior from them as they settle in over the next day or two. The remaining corys are acting perfectly normal since hitting my aquarium water rooting around in the sand and chasing each other up the glass. The dead cory looked a little skinny compared to the others I received, but no other ideas on what could have gone wrong with him. I will definately be ordering more from you in the future, but hopefully not too soon, I want to enjoy this order for several years to come. Thank you for always striving to improve yourselves and the industry at large. Keep it up!
Update: Caught my new neon tetras spawning this morning! I have only had them 3 full days! Astounding, just tells you how well Dan and his team care for these fish. I thought they looked too young to be spawning already and also so soon after shipment? Wow!
2 Week Update: All fish that arrived alive are doing great growing and putting on weight. Thank you so much! The best fish buying experience I have had.

Comment: I've made several orders over the past couple of months and all have been absolutely incredible! The fish are all super happy and healthy. I love how I can watch a video on YouTube and see exactly what quality of fish I am going to get. I've easily ordered over 50 fish recently and only had one dead on arrival. The packaging was fantastic and all of my shipments have been around 78 degrees inside of the insulation. I'm confident the one that didn't make it was no fault of Dan's but nonetheless, I was refunded immediately. The only negative thing I can say is that Dan's Fish makes things so easy that I buy way more fish than my wife would like!

Comment: 20 chili rasboras all individually packaged and packaging included heat packs and water temp bags. All appear in good health. Have only been in the tank a short while (less than 1 hour), but already took food and starting to color up. Shipping was less than 24 hours.
Very impressed with the care in shipping each fish in their own individual bag, even though they are such a small species.

Comment: Coral red teacup platies arrived fat and sassy! Their color is amazing and even more amazing was how chill the fish were, right out of the box! The peppered cory catfish are the cutest ever and the guppies colored up quickly as soon as they were in the tank. All fish are happily exploring their new tank and have eaten dinner (xtreme flake and some hikari pellets). The packaging is excellent and customer service was very helpful in planning. Thanks, Team Dan!

Comment: Everyone arrived alive and healthy although they may have been albinos instead of cardinal tetras but working with Dan to fix it. All Tetras were in individual double bags. Temp was 76. We received our replacement fishes and they arrived healthy and very active. Temp for new box was 80 degrees.

Comment: Best live fish purchasing experience I've ever had. All of them are in perfect shape and seem happy in their new tank. They're coloring up really well and interacting well with their tankmates. Will probably move to nearly exclusively buying fish from here.

Comment: Great overall experience. They answered all my questions so quickly and the fish arrived in awesome condition and the bags they were in were nice and warm. After only a few minutes in their new tanks, they started coloring up. Everyone is swimming around exploring and they seem pretty relaxed after about an hour or so. Will be ordering again when we get our 215 gallon set up and ready!

Comment: Good order updates, fast overnight shipping. Very well packaged with heat pack for the airplane ride.
Glad I finally found the hovering loach I was looking everywhere for! Needed companions for one I got mislabeled from a local fish store. Thanks Dan!

Comment: Great experience and a smooth process.
Everything arrived alive. There was one glowlight danio that was clearly not doing well and died a day or two later.
The water was at least 83 degrees because of all the heat packs, but that was probably because it was unseasonably warm for the time of year, and because I grabbed the package within a few minutes of delivery.
I lost one glowlight danio to slow wasting four weeks later, and one more seems like it might meet the same fate. I don't want to speculate on what caused that, but I think those two stayed spindly when the rest fattened up immediately.
Given that these are small fish and they were shipped, I'm really impressed with the health and survival rate. I love the YouTube content too, because it gives me a better idea of the fishes' behavior and appearance. I'm a huge fan of Dan and his approach to the fish business, and I'd absolutely suggest buying from him.

Comment: This was my first order with Dan's Fish. I decided to try them after watching his videos and having multiple health issues with the other business I purchased fish from. They all arrived active and alive. There was not one fish out of 16 total, that I thought "wouldn't make it" when I opened the box. They all colored up the first day and all of them ate well. The company was great to deal with from the start. Answering all my questions honestly and replying to every email. I've already sent them another order!
