Comment: All fish were individually bagged and were only in shipping for about 18 hours so that's great. All looked good when received and it's been a little more than a day and they're all still looking great. Dan's Fish is by far the best place I've ordered fish and highly recommend.

Comment: Once again another great shipment from Dan's. Packed great and with obvious care. The 3 pair of Japan Blue Gold Double Swordtail Guppies were lively and started eating right away. A week later they're still very strong and active.

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: Wow! I am seriously impressed. Ordered 20 Ember Tetras and received 20 healthy active fish each in its own bag. I am mesmerized by this school of fish. They are all over the tank. Thinking I need to add some more. Tank is a 73 gal planted.

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!

Comment: Once again: All my Celestial Pearl Danio's received in excellent condition. The packaging is impressive. Aggressive little buggers, right out the gate. They were on the small size, being young, which of course is preferred. Still, they wasted no time asserting themselves (nicely) with the other CPD's.

Comment: Just received my stiphodons and i must say they look great and healthy as always but there is one small hiccup though, as i asked for a mix of males and females and received only males. I know that sexing is not guaranteed with the species i ordered but i would have liked to at the least know that there where no females avaliable at the time my order next time instead of being told that someone would try to sex them for my order. As if the staff are as knowledgeable as i have come to know, sexing most stiphodon species is very easy, as the males are colorful and females are almost always some variation of black and white striped, as they are in the species i ordered. So i can only assume there where no females of the species i ordered to be had in stock. Or maybe i just got an employee on my order that lacked experience with this particular species and didnt have time to look it up, regardless thanks Dan's fish i love this group of little dudes already!

Dan’s Panda Cory’s have all done well in my tanks. This order filled out the group of them I’ve been collecting. 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: This was part of my seventh time ordering fish from Dan’s. As with the previous orders, all the fish arrived alive, vigorous, and looking good. The.dwarf gourami pair settled right into my heavily planted 29gal. I’m hoping they’ll also help consume all the cherry shrimp-lets in that tank! The CPD’s are tiny but very active and doing well in their first 24 hours.

Comment: I've ordered fish from a few online sellers and these are the healthiest and most lively fish I've ever received. Box temp was 78.4F when it arrived. Fish were understandably a little pale but colored up nicely once settled in. The Ember Tetras schooling behavior adds so much life and movement to my tank. The Demon Eye Hillstream Loach is SUPER cool! The Lemon Blue Eye and Super Red Plecos are beautiful and I can't wait for them to put on more size. Impressed!!!

When I turned the light back on they came to the front of the tank immediately asking for food, no hiding or being frightened. Their noses were red and they were already nicely settled in!

Seller Reply: That sounds like a horrible experience...I'm so sorry the Muzel developed issues. I greatly appreciate you bringing this to our attention. They look great here, but I've taken them down from the website until our diagnostic lab can examine them to see if they are hiding an illness so this doesn't happen to anyone else. I'll be reaching out shortly to issue a refund for the fish which developed problems. Once again, thanks for the feedback and my sincere apologies. - Dan

Comment: As usual, all 30 fish (16 Rummy Nose tetras, 12 Congo Tetras, and 2 Panda Garras) arrived in good health, and the packaging was outstanding. After temperature acclimation, lights out, I introduced the fish to their new home. This was my initial stocking for this tank and included some Malaysian Trumpet snails. The fish immediately started schooling and exploring the tank. They didn't seem shy at all, so after 2 hours, I turned the lights back on low. They immediately came to the front of the tank. I fed a small amount, and they all ate hungrily. The next morning, all the fish were still doing well. I highly recommend Dan's Fish to anyone looking to order healthy fish online.

As great as Cory and Dan say in their video. I had relatively low expectations of the rainbow shiners for my lotus pond, but they have the brightest blue fins! The minnows are such a fun creamsicle color. I love having all the great choices from Dans fish! Btw inside box was 80 degrees.

Comment: First time ordering from Dan's Fish, overall the experience was good. Recommended by Aquarium Co-Op. Online shopping experience: 5 stars -the website is easy to use and they have thorough explanations of the shipping process. Shipping: 4.75 stars -I'd like to see slightly more water in the bags containing the fish so they can't be compacted during shipping if the box is turned on-end. Fish: 2.5 stars -I ordered a pair of Red Dragon guppies for a new breeding project. The male is a good specimen with nice color, healthy finnage, and a good body shape. He is half the size the female was but is healthy and eating well. The female had good color (for a female guppy), and nice finnage, however she did have a bent spine resulting in a "hunched look" and difficulty swimming; she was not suitable for breeding. She remained mostly listless among the floating plants, barely eating, and died after 5 days. I assume the stress from shipping combined with the physical deformity contributed to her ultimate demise as the male is vigorous and seemingly healthy. I realize ordering fish online is a risk due to the unknowns of shipping, but if I pay $70+ (including shipping) for a breeding pair of fish I do expect the fish to be suitable for breeding. Overall rating: 3 stars (weighted, as the fish are obviously the most important part). I would maybe order from Dan's Fish again in the future as the process was easy and the pricing is good, but I am disappointed that now I just have a male guppy with no mate.

Seller Reply: Thanks for leaving an honest review about this order. I'm so sorry to hear that the female did not make it and had a crooked spine. I don't know why that sometimes happens. On occasion, I've sent females that I inspected myself and they looked great when they were sent, but arrived bent for the customer. It doesn't happen often, but it leaves me scratching my head whenever it does happen. We've reached out via email to get this fixed for you.

Comment: First time ordering and wont be the last. Ordered Pygmy Corydora and Celestial Pearl Danios and even shipping to Arizona in 110° all came in healthy and active. Packing was top notch and at my door the following day at 10am

Comment: I'm very happy with this order. There were some issues with some of the fish being sick before they were shipped but customer support was very supportive and refunded them rather than shipping them to me. These people are some of the best, they care about the health of their animals more than anything else. Would buy again

Comment: Last week, I received my order of two trios of Japan Blue Swordtail Guppy’s, and 11 Longfin Corydoras. Everyone came in very healthy, except one of the female guppy’s came with a curved spine. I emailed them, and they fully refunded her and her portion of shipping. They said she was most likely injured during shipping. She is doing pretty well now, and has adjusted to it. They were very helpful over email and I can’t recommend them more! In addition, 3/4 female guppy’s came pregnant and one has already given birth! I will definitely be ordering here again for more high quality, healthy fish.

Comment: I would give a rate of 10 if I could . My Gold Ring Danios which was almost impossible to find were both healthy and affordable. The low coast of Next Day Shipping made it even more affordable and there was no comprise as to the TLC and expert packaging and shipment . They got shipping Nano Species Down to an Exact Science 🧪 Can’t wait to add them to my Nano Community Tank

Comment: Everything arrived on time and appeared to be very healthy and seem to be settling into their new environment well. Very little waste in the bags so fasting and a water change before shipping must be beneficial. Thanks Dan and staff!
