Comment: I really appreciate the transparency with the shipping as well when there is unsafe weather to ship. All eleven fish arrived in excellent condition. Everyone was alive and healthy. The heat pack was plenty warm and I love how each fish is individually packaged! The color on the Celestial Pearl Danios are vibrant and they're thriving. The Blue Phantom Pleco is absolutely gorgeous and I can't wait to see it grow! Definitely will order again!

Comment: Everyone arrived in perfect condition, colored up and eating a light meal within a couple of hours. Heat packs were just right; 76.5 in the box upon delivery despite upper 30s in my area. Excellent communication and care for the fish when shipping the order was delayed due to UPS backlog. Couldn't be happier!

Comment: Everyone arrived individually packaged like all of our other orders. They were all colored up and eating within hours of being in their respective tanks. Out of 6 Kerri Tetras we have only had 2 die offs since we got them. We have had worse luck with ordering and purchasing fish over the past year from various places so it does not warrant an issue with us. We will be ordering more when I start gaining tank space or more more tanks set up.

Comment: Fish arrived in perfect condition, despite the set back last week when Dan’s team had to drive two hours to check on and then bring the fish back to their facility because of weather and shipping company’s backlog. They were reshipped this week and got to my house within 20 hrs. I will never forget the care and professionalism of communicating to me the situation, their awesome dedication to their fish and customer service. I will always check with Dan’s fish website first for my future fish purchases. Paula

Comment: My order was delivered in perfect condition. The heat packs were still warm and the fish bags were reading 73 degrees. Not too shabby for a winter delivery. All fish were in good condition and settled in to the 2 year old cycled quarantine tank. Cory’s and Pleco’s were eating off the bottom sand and algae on the walls right away.

Comment: Okay so this is an odd review because I did receive a dead fish however it was not the fault of Dan’s fish. There was a horrible snowstorm when we had feet of snow and bad winds. It was worse than expected. The delivery truck could not get through and ended up out in the cold longer than the truck should have been. They managed to deliver the next day. All were healthy but the pleco, who are not the best shippers in the first place. The customer support was wonderful and we got the refund for the fish. It was not the fault of Dan’s and they were supportive and kind.

Comment: I really wanted to leave a 5 star review. I have been following the channel for months and admired the vision of healthy fish and safe shipping. I waited and waited as my local fish store was scared for me if I ordered online. When the laser cory's were down to just a few, I finally pulled the plug (my local store was having issues getting the fish I wanted). I unfortunately was told after my confirmation they did not have the 2 main ones I wanted anymore. So I substituted one. I do wnat to say communictaion was great. When they arrived the inside box and water was 90 degrees. I acclimated them slowly and quarantined them for almost 2 weeks and 2 of them never really colored up. I ended up losing one shortly after and the other is still not colored up. My advice for customers is check the weather. They were freezing in WY but in TX we were in the 70-80s. My delivery did not sit outside waiting for me, it was immediately brought inside. I do not how Dan’s could have prevented this. Delays in shipping and weather happen. If I order again I will be making sure to compare the shipping places weather and our weather.

I cannot recommend these guys highly enough if you are looking for quality fish delivered to your door. They are not the cheapest, but absolutely worth every penny. And when you live waaaay out in rural America like I do, there is no better place to get your wet pets.

Comment: The 8 Longfin Cherry Barbs I received are stunning, and still thriving now 7 weeks later. (Word to the wise -- request a mix of sexes if that's what you want. I got all very beautiful males, but wanted some females, too, but failed to specify that. That was rectified in a later order.) The 3 Siamese Algae Eaters have thrived and grown at an astounded rate. The 10 Harlequin Rasboras have done great (excluding one mystery death) and they have reminded me why this species is so popular. They are beautiful, active, and peaceful. The 7 Gold White Cloud Mountain Minnows, unfortunately had something going on with them. One arrived dead, and 4 more died within days from no obvious cause. Apparently some started dying in Dan's tank, too. In the upstanding approach that I've come to expect from Dan's, I was refunded for all the white clouds I ordered (and their shipping cost), and they removed this batch of fish from their list of fish available for sale.

Comment: I appreciate the willingness of the crew to select all female longfin Cherry Barbs to add to the all male group I had received on the prior order. Now I can get going on breeding them. They are gorgeous, this line of longfin cherry barbs. And not a single health problem with them. All are still fat and sassy after 6+ weeks in my aquaria. The crew noticed that the white clouds were having some problems in Dan's tanks after being listed for sale, so they removed them from my order and refunded the cost, which I appreciate.

Comment: I was tempted to order from Dan's Fish after watching a YouTube video who recommended this supplier. I assumed that they are customer-oriented. So, I placed an order last Dec. 6. I received an email on Dec. 10 informing me that the planned shipping date will be on Dec. 16. I assumed that everything is in order. Dec. 9 at around 4PM, I received an email informing me that one of the fishes that I have ordered is unavailable. I asked why was I not informed and I was told that when they tried to pull the fish today it was not there. I find it odd in various aspects: 1. They should keep track of their inventory levels listed in their website and verify if they can accommodate the order prior to confirming the order. 2.They should have checked before sending me an information of the planning shipping date last Dec. 10 if all of my orders are available. 2. Why were they pulling the fish in the late afternoon on a day before it is scheduled to be shipped? Aren't they supposed to have the fish fast prior to shipping? I patiently waited for my shipment for 9 days only to cancel it at the last minute because the main fish that should have been shipped is not available. What a waste of time. Plus they are not even apologetic about it considering this is their oversight. This experience is really horrible. I will not place an order again.

Seller Reply: Hello Toffee, Thanks for the honest feedback. I get it...waiting that long for your order only to be told at the last minute that we don't have what you ordered is a horrible experience. One of the great challenges with live fish sales involves inventory health and accuracy. It is something that we are actively working to improve. Currently, we are focusing on building software that will help solve this issue. I'm sorry your experience was so bad. -Dan

Comment: Fish and snails all arrived in great shape and have settled into their tanks nicely. Really appreciate the care and manner they were shipped to Virginia. Heat packs were still warm and even the blueberry snails showed a lot of activity from the start. Many thanks!

Comment: The box arrived in the afternoon the day after it was shipped. It was very well packed and the heat pack was warm. The water temp in the bags was 71 F. All of the fish were alive and well. Customer service was excellent. I am an advanced hobbyist and Dan's is one of two sources that I use for fresh water fish.

Comment: 26 fish in 26 bags. Others can’t really compete with that. I’ll be placing another order in the spring for sure.

Comment: Honestly was a little skeptical about buying fish online but when I got my order today my it relieved a lot of anxiety. Everyone came healthy, alive and most of all happy! My tetras were excited to be free, danios were gorgeous and a little shy and then my pleco ‘Taco’ made their home right away. Definitely worth the money!

Comment: Beautiful fish arrived on time and in perfect condition. Very well packaged with appropriate heat packs. Love that the fish are individually bagged. 7 days later, the Plecos are doing fantastic, and the guppies have already had fry. The female arrived plump so we assumed pregnant. Thank you so much for fantastic service and beautiful healthy fish.

Comment: The fish arrived healthy and happy. They were packed individually so they weren’t banging into each other on the trip. They also added extra bags of warm water so they fit tightly in the box. The heating pads were still warm when I opened the box. I was expecting small baby fish and they were all healthy adults. Will order from Dan’s again.

Comment: Got another perfect shipment. Good temperature in the box, and everyone arrived alive and healthy. The Bloody Mary hillstream loaches were pale at first, but within hours had coloured up beautifully. The corys are still young, but their yellow fins have coloured up since yesterday. All of the fish are eating ravenously, as you would expect since they've been without food for the entire journey. As usual, Dan's did' a super job. They are definitely the ones to go to, and I'd recommend (and have recommended) them to anyone. They run as good an operation as anyone I know of. Further, they make sure that their fish are in top health when they send them out. It is an absolute pleasure to do business with people who care about the fish as much as I do.

Comment: This was the first, and so far my only fish which arrived dead. The heat pace apparently failed in transit, and since UPS had it in their truck all day, it froze. On the plus side of things Dan's Fish didn't hesitate to issue a refund. You can never fault the service of Dan's Fish. Their service, combined with the fact that very nearly all of the fish they send out arrive in great health is the reason that I would (and have) recommended them to anyone. It also should be noted that the failure of the heat pack was probably not their fault. Sometimes there's just a faulty one. No one can expect things to go perfectly every time. That poor little fish just happened to draw the unlucky straw this time out.

Comment: Big, beautiful, healthy fish! They arrive in great condition and I never have to worry about having fish, die off immediately, even like I do from some of the local fish stores. It is worth the extra expense for all the great care and very healthy stock that I receive from Dan’s.

Comment: This is my 8th order with Dan's Fish. As always, everything has arrive perfectly healthy, well packed and quickly. I've never had a sick fish and all fish are exactly as advertised. At this point I think I trust this website more than my local stores when it comes to buying fish.

Comment: 25 fish fish ordered, received 26, all in perfect health, in individual bags, with temperature "bumper" bags on the outside to protect and insulate the fish (im in MN in December). Could not be happier! Dont think I will ever order freshwater fish from any other retailer moving forward. Beyond my expectations... Thank you Dan's fish!!!

Comment: I don’t know of any other online fish retailer that does it better that Dan’s Fish. After a 24 hour delivery delay due to some wicked winter weather in upstate NY (you know- snow, wind, zero visibility, temps in the teens) ALL of my fish and shrimp arrived alive in 48hrs and are doing great! I can tell you, I was not hopeful. The water temp. was 71* and the heat packs still had some warmth to them. I gave them a couple hours to settle, and all were feeding later that evening. It just goes to show you that shipping HEALTHY fish CORRECTLY by people who CARE makes a difference. Great job to everyone at Dan’s Fish!! Thank you. Lisa W

Comment: Very happy with my fish! It's only been half a day, but the rosy loaches are settling in well. Unfortunately one amano shrimp out of four didn't make it, but I was immediately refunded upon providing proof. Overall a great experience!

Comment: The Royal Acara arrived seemingly happy and delightfully chunky. It gobbled up its first meal with its new tankmates and is busy exploring its new home. I was impressed with how it was boxed up and shipped to me. This was my first order with Dan’s Fish but I will be back for more fish soon!

Comment: Fish came in great as always. UPS was a bit late in delivering, first stated 10am-2pm window and they arrived at 6pm but afterall this is the Holiday season so they are extremely busy. Was worried but thanks to the great packing job by Dans Fish they all came in good shape.

Comment: Great shipment! I am so impressed with Dan's Fish delivery during the cold of December! Each fish arrived alive and well. I am blown away by your excellent packing with additional sealed bags of water to hold temp from your heat pack! Wow, that's got to be the best packaging job and delivery that I have ever received!! I will order again for sure. Thanks so much!
