GBDead Aquaria I ordered a total of 42 fish for a total of $183. Of the 42 ordered fish, 4 were never shipped, 4 were dead on arrival and and 24 more died within 7 days of receiving the order. The condition of the fish upon arrival was as follows. 4 were covered in white fungus, 2 had visible parasites and many of the others had frayed fins and were generally unhealthy. As of the writing of the review, only 10 remain alive. After calling Live Aquaria, and emailing them, sending pictures and following their 7 day arrive alive guarantee, I am left holding the bag at a temendous loss of money. All they do is credit your account with the cost per fish excluding the cost of shipping, and their 7 days is actually only 6 days as they count off one of the days on day zero. I do NOT recommend doing business with this company.

GBNever using them again Never using them again. I ordered 12 snails and 6 siames algea eaters. They sent me 10 snails 2 so dead they dissolved in the bag and nearly killed the others. Then the 6 siamese algea eaters showed up as 6 chinese algea eaters. Utterly useless, not even the same fish and very territorial. So guess what 6 fish get to die because live aquaria are pieces of sh.

GBCanceled my order without notifying me Ordered a dwarf gourami, received confirmation email, then received an email that my order was delayed, checked the website and they were out of stock so maybe they miscounted. But a month goes by, and when I checked the website the fish were back in stock. I spoke with a rep asking what the status on my order was and they had canceled it without notifying me a couple days prior. Had to dig back a month in my card statements to be sure they actually reverted the charge and fortunately they did. Can't review the fish, never got it.

GBBad fish quality I have a 75 gallon tank. I have placed an order with LiveAquaria on 2 separate occasions, and both times have lost most of the fish within the first week. The first time, I blamed it on the fact that I was a new hobbiest and was inexperienced. Many successful years later, the same thing happened with the second order. 2 fish were DOA, and I keep losing more fish by the day. I followed all the proper acclimation procedures. There are fish in that tank that are over 4 years old and still thriving. The only ones dying are the ones from liveaquaria. You can’t get a refund, only a store credit which is completely useless to me. I will never again be placing any orders with them.

GBDead fish, bad guarantee I ordered several killifish; 6 rainbow Boesmani, 2 angelfish, and a dozen cardinal tetras. They failed to send a shipping email, which I was told to expect. It's getting cold, so I'd like to have a rough idea when they are shipped. Luckily, I was home. Angelfish were canceled-no big deal. Tetra bag leaked in box, but they were alive-we'll see. All 6 Boesmani were dead. I was refunded $75 in store credit. Between the $30 shipping and $10 box charge, that leaves $35 in credit to a company I no longer trust to send me live fish. If they send you dead fish, they should replace them, and cover shipping.
