  • Comment: I ordered multiple fish and all are active and healthy. The fish are much healthier than the fish I have previously bought from our local chain pet store. Shipping costs make these fish expensive, but replacing fish from the pet store is expensive too.

  • Comment: First bad pair of fish i have ever gotten from Dan. The female was healthy and happy, but the male showed up with pop eye. After 2 months of constant tank maitenance to keep parameters perfect, 2 rounds of erythromycin and 2 of kavaplex his eyes were normal, but he was constantly hidden. The female is happy as a clam and always out. Today after 2 ish months of meds and constant effort to save him, he finally died. Usually, everything i get is top notch. This one was not. Poor quality fish, and now I have a lone female krib.... I was only buying fish from dans, but have since started using a few other suppliers for cichlids in particular. I had a similar issue with a pair of apisto from dans a year back, but the female had the Popeye. Wasn't sure if it was from shipping or what, but atleast i was able to save her. This krib had the worst most consistent popeye i have ever seen.

  • Comment: I ordered and very promptly received 20 CPD's after hearing Dan has the best of them around. When the box arrived I was happy to see them insulated and each fish individually bagged so as to make sexing them easier. I received 13 males and 7 females, some of which need some growing, overall I'm very happy with them, their colors and patterns are showing to be extremely vivid and their bodies healthy. Highly recommend ordering from Dan! I know I do.

  • Comment: I loved my blue cochu tetra so much (already got some from Dan's) that I got more. Also, I had about 3 Cardinal tetra that I picked up somewhere and thought I should get some friends for them. I can't say enough about the healthy nature of fish from Dan's. I've gotten fish from many places locally and online and NOBODY has compared to Dan's. Not even close. Even my wife told me, "just pay the money and get them from Dan's" because she saw me having such difficulties trying to get fish to live (especially rummynose) that I got other places. It's worth every dime.

  • Comment: I ordered these rummynose tetra from Dan's in order to add to the collection I have. The ones I've had for awhile are large and very plump- super-active. The new ones are smaller, of course, but still have the right body shape for their size and are doing great! I won't buy rummynose tetra from anywhere else. I have a few that I bought locally that actually lived, but they look skinny and stunted compared to Dan's because they weren't cared for properly early in life. DAN'S IS THE BEST.

  • Comment: The cardinal tetra arrived fat and happy, and the little pleco looks great! I quarantined them for a few days (just to allow them to adjust to my water in peace) and then released them to my 75 gallon tank. The pleco is eating up the algae and the cardinals fell right in with the others I have and are growing nicely!

  • Comment: This was my 8th time ordering fish from Dan’s. As with the previous orders, all the fish arrived alive, vigorous, and looking good. The lemon tetras are gorgeous. I haven't kept them since I was a kid! I’m impressed with the care and thought that Dan’s fish puts into shipping and making sure as much as they can that they have healthy fish to sell. Watch their video on how they choose and ship fish!

  • Comment: I have found the only online fish store I will ever deal with. When I overpurchased in my inexperience in the hobby they were super about refunding for what I couldn't take. The modified order arrived in amazing shape. Every fish came in an individual bag with three temperature regulating bags with it. The care with which the fish will packaged was super confidence inspiring. All the fish look healthy, strong and reasonably stress-free. They've been introduced to the quarantine tank and they all look super. Thank you so much to the folks at Dan's fish! I have already and will continue in the future to recommend y'all as a incredibly reputable source for fish.

Ordereing was fasr and easy, including a quick response to my note during the ordering process. 100% of the fish arrived live and active; it took all of two minutes for them to begin to eat. I’m looking forward to doing lots more business with Dan’s.

This second order did not disappoint - 2 pygmy Cories, 2 Chili Rasboras, and 4 cherry shrimp arrived happy and healthy, and have already started making themselves at home in the tank and are coloring up just after an hour or so!

  • Comment: If only everybody,who sells live fish,had the same principals as Dan. I buy a lot of live fish online,& the attention to the welfare of these animals,whilst in transit,makes all the difference. Ethical packaging/delivery is matched by the health of every animal sold,something that Dan's Fish is known for. Yup,you're gonna pay a little more,but you will 100% see where that money went the min you see your fish,not just in quality but also in the general disposition of an animal that is treated well. I look forward to all my future sales! Side note-My 4 dwarf redtail eels quickly became as important to me as my dogs,they're lovely little gentlemen & I totally adore them.Thank you Dan!!!

  • Comment: I received four longfin super red bristlenose Plecos, and they were perfect. They’ve been in my tank for about two weeks, they are all healthy and beautiful, and I would say their quality is top-notch. They also happen to have really fun personalities, but I think that might be universal to all plecos, idk. Highly recommended.

Every fish was vibrant and healthy. This was by far my best experience in ordering even better than just buying in person.

  • Comment: Can't say enough about how positive my fish buying experience was w/ Dan's Fish. I've had my eyes on a few dream species of gobies for a longgg time, and finally pulled the trigger a couple of weeks ago. I asked a few questions immediately after purchasing fish, which were answered within hours. I received updates after every step was taken both right before and during the shipping process. The fish arrived at my home in North Carolina healthy, secure, and cozy with temperature regulating bags. They started coloring up and grazing within a few hours of being in their new home. Again, can't thank them enough. I'll be back.

Outside temperatures were near 100F. All seem healthy and happy. The platinum yellow tiger guppy female has already spit fry. The peacock gudgeon juveniles are spunky and eating well. Thank you Dan and crew. Update: after 16 days, we have lost 4 peacock gudgeons. Can’t make sense of it. PH 7.2, 79F, 0 nitrite/ammonia, nitrates 15.

  • Comment: Dans fish is seriously the best place I've ever bought from, better than some in person places. It's definitely the best pace to buy for me because I don't live by any big towns, so the gas money would cost the same as the shipping fee. The only downside is that all of the fish are very small I've bought hillstream loachs, corys, khuli loachs, and cherry shrimp which looked like they were born a week before I bought them. Regardless it's still a greatplace to buy from.

You could tell they were eager to get out! My juveniles arrived healthy and gorgeous. Only one didn’t survive the first 6 hours upon arrival, but it’s day 4 and all other Gudgeons are still alive and healthy. Zero signs of illnesses. A bit picky and shy, but they’re doing great. Very grateful for the love and care Dan and team are clearly providing these fishes. Thank you!!

But the tetras--two arrived with significant dorsal and anal fin damage and one has a gouge in its underbelly and is missing a swim fin near its underside.

  • Comment: I checked 3 local fish stores and couldn't find these. One store said they could order me some but they would cost me more than if I had ordered them from Dan's! So I took a chance and everythin went great!! I can't wait until you get apistogramma agassizii blue flame pairs in!! I will definitely be ordering them!! I couldn't be happier!!!

  • Comment: First time ordering fish online!! Dan's Fish was a great experience, I placed the order then I had a question. Sent an email they responded right away and answered my question. My fish arrived right on time, they were packed individually. I floated then for 30 minutes and released them. They all look great!!!

  • Comment: All fish arrived alive - safe and sound! Each was so carefully packed in individual bags. I was hesitant to order more CPDs after my last delivery with different company resulted in 4/10 fish arriving DOA. I’m so glad I went with Dan’s Fish to order more.

  • Comment: About one month after arrival: All fish arrived in good condition and made it through quarantine without issue. The toothpick fish will eat frozen baby brine, which is unexpected but convenient. The otocinclus all look great, with nice round bellies. It took the 6 of them about a month to clear all the visible diatom algae from the 20 gallon high tank they live in. There is now no visible algae, and I am giving them algae wafers and zucchini slices. I haven't seen them eat either, but they still look fat, so they're getting something they like.

  • Comment: these fish arrived all colored up and ready to breed. it was only a couple of weeks before i had a baby fish, turned out to be a c.p.d. i would say that is a compliment to dan and his crew that the fish arrived happy, healthy and horny. it has to be the great care they received at dans.

  • Comment: dan always delivers healthy and happy fish, individually bagged and ready to take their place in the aquarium. dans fish don't hide like others do and they color up quickly and to me that means happy, healthy, confident fish. thank you to everyone at dans, you folks go above and beyond. i only do nano fish and they do not ship well...unless you buy from dans.

  • Comment: dan has the best fish and the best shipping method. all fish are individually bagged and are almost always fat and sassy. i say almost always because i have gotten very young fish from dan before, they were healthy but too young to be fat and sassy, they are now though. very few places offer you a choice in shipping...quantity vs box size. excellent place to do business with.

  • Comment: It's great knowing that you can buy fish from someone you can trust. I have been in the hobby for 50 years and I can say Dan makes you feel comfortable about buying his fish, due to the fact that you will get exactly what you are told and they are healthy and perfect shape. And the communication with Dan is easy and fast. Just got and order and it's is all individually baged and the right temperature. Fish look great. This is an online fish store you can trust you will get healthy fish. And ontop of that he has some of the rarest fish you can find. So much variety. It's worth the extra expense when you buy fish that you have all of them live and thrive. That's what you get when you deal with Dan. Thanks Dan your an asset to the hobby!

  • Comment: I LOVE how this order was packaged. Each fish was individually bagged and the bags were either heat sealed or vacuum sealed or something. The snails were bagged 3 to a bag. All fish arrived alive and healthy! It's hard to tell with snails, but they are probably ok too! I'm really looking forward to getting them in my tanks.

  • Comment: I ordered 8 false julii corys. All arrived alive, however there was a 'runt' that was a lot smaller and seemed to not take the stress of shipping well. I caught him looking sickly too late, and he died a few days after arriving. Right now I have 7 fat and sassy corys and they are all doing well :) Edit: The same day I wrote my review, I got a refund on the lost fish and partial shipping costs with a nice email. Dan and team are really great guys, they got a happy loyal customer now

  • Comment: Editing Review: I had 2 different issues with shipping: getting the wrong fish shipped, then a combination order not combining and sending to the wrong address. I have been refunded now but I think something needs to be done with how they manage shipping orders. The fish were very good quality though. If the orders had been fulfilled properly this would be a five star review.

  • Comment: Ordered 25 fish—1 electric blue ram, 6 diamond tetras, 6 cherry barbs, and 12 corys—and they all arrived healthy in 25 little bags. They're active, and full of personality. No drama, no floaters—just thriving fish living their best lives. Weeks later and my water puppies are still happy. Dan’s Fish crushed it. Only downside? Dan’s gonna keep me broke because I’m definitely ordering again. I'd give 6 stars if I could. Keep up the good work crew!

  • Comment: As always, all the critters arrived healthy and safe. They adapted to their new home right away, and are now just tottering around and living their best lives as if they've always been here. As an added bonus, the snails came with algae on their shells, which my Amano shrimp are absolutely loving, and they were accompanied by a nice collection of microfauna, which the fish certainly enjoy snacking on. So we got a free snack pack along with the critters we ordered!
