  • 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: I would recommend this site for anyone. You pay a very slight (all things considered) premium, for exceptional customer service and very healthy fish. I think this could possibly be the most legitimate online place to buy hobby fish in the US.

They are all very healthy and already very active in their tank. This has been the best fish ordering experience I've had by far.

  • Comment: Bought 7 swordtails and asked for 4 males. They came the following day after being shipped. Package was a good temperature when I opened it. The packaging was good and all 7 fish came in separate bags. The bags were perfect size so the fish were always submerged. All the fish are healthy and already eating and very active. Great variety in patterns and colors as-well. Definitely one the best experiences for buying fish online and would order again, 10/10!

  • Comment: Fish (long finned dragon pleco) arrived extremely quickly, barely 12 hours after shipping. He was well packaged with good temperature control. Fish was healthy and strong and seems well fed. He immediately acclimated to the tank and began eating all the algae he can find. His color returned quickly and I have no worries about his health.

  • 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.

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.

  • 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.

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!

  • Comment: Fish were healthy packaged with care I came from the marine side of things and I take fish health and care serious so the extra cost that Dan charges to cover the cost of providing such healthy fish is well worth it. This was my first order and I just re ordered today !

  • Comment: We've follow and watch Dan's weekly video live or post and just see some amazing fish he unboxes. We finally found something we really wanted and he had. Ordered and can't say enough about the shipping, packing, and the quality of fish. They are so healthy looking and vibrant of what we chose. I love the individual packing and the temp pack, 74 degrees which was perfect! Thanks Dan and crew!!!!

  • Comment: Amazing company! Fish were double bagged (individually -- one bag per fish). Boxed well: their water was warm though the box was cold and wet upon delivery. Fish all alive, healthy, active, ate right away after being slowly acclimated to the tank. Recommend them highly, really, really sastified with the experience from beginning to end, i.e., cool dwarf spotted rasboras exploring the tank and making quick buddies with my dwarf golden barbs. Thank you!

Excellent shipping with them arriving in individual bags, warm box and all swimming and loving life in my tanks!

Seller Reply: Hello Randy, Thanks for the review. I consider sending fish with pinched bellies inexcusable. We are usually very good about preventing that, but it looks like we might have missed something in this case. I'm very sorry that happened on your order. We will be in touch soon to rectify the situation. My sincere apologies. - Dan

  • Comment: Dan's Fish is a gem; I have been in the hobby for over 30 years and have never seen such a high-end selection. I was a bit nervous about my first order, as I thought this must be too good to be true. I was beyond impressed with the entire transaction. Fish packed to perfection. Quality unmatched. I will be back for more. Don't hesitate when shopping; everything came in perfect condition, just as described. They all ate frozen food an hour out of the bag! Thank you, Dan's Fish!

  • Comment: 4 out of 6 white wizard snails arrived unwell. It's not unusual for snails to go dormant in shipping. After 48 hours in the tank, only the 2 snails seem to be alive. The hoplo catfish from the same order all arrived alive, though with very tattered fins. Overall not the best experience. Other orders I've made from Dan's have been better. Generally, you can expect Dan's Fish to take care of you if you have any issues with your order. Try to reach out to them before leaving a review.

  • Comment: This was the easiest and most professional service I have ever been a part of. Two delivery drivers dropped off my 5 Bosemani Rainbow fish early this morning with less than a day in shipping. Packaged beautifully with a heating pad, the fish were individually wrapped and happily swimming when I opened the box. Writing this review almost 12 hours later and they are doing very well! Very happy with the purchase. Customer service was excellent. I will be back.

  • Comment: I placed a large (for me at least!) order and everyone arrived healthy and active. The Spotted Hillstream Loach is adorable. He was tiny when he arrived, but two weeks later he's already doubled in size. I've had poor success before with some locally purchased Nerite snails, but the Zebra Nerites I received from Dan's are all thriving. They are quite active, and I enjoy watching them move around my 55 gal. aquarium.
