Spent $150+ on dead fish Spent $150+ and all arrived DOA. Based on the smell alone I'd say that many were dead at shipping time. No communication, no compensation. Just nothing. They do not care about your dead fish, and keep all the money anyway. This is a scam. Buyer beware!!!

Bad 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.

Don't do this to the poor animals… My last several orders from them have gone horribly. This last one I ordered snails. 100% dead, 75 snails. 50 were < 1/4" nassarius snails. A supervisor from live aquaria instructed me after titration not to put them even in a quarantine tank, but my tank, even though I knew they were dead. So I did. Then I had to raise heaven and hell and beg to get half of my money back from another supervisor. They wanted me to pull all 75 "tiny unseeable" shells on a white background even after I warned them on multiple occasions their recommendations led to this. I will not do business with them again. Order before this: coral. Dead on arrival. Order before that: gobies, 8. I have 3 that survived. Don't order from them unless you're okay with fish harvested from the ocean for profit dying. Buy ORA or Local fish store, but never, never, liveaquaria.

Never 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.

First order will be last First order will be last. Sherry, the customer service rep on phone was rude and unprofessional. Supposed to be overnight delivery by 1:00 pm but FedEx is awful and Liveaquaria is an apologist for their inadequacy. Their website when ordering is also deeply flawed causing me to place a duplicate order which they claim will fall off my account in a few days. That remains to be seen. Would not recommend this company. Update : Fish arrived, late but alive. One BIG problem though, the two Kribensis I ordered and paid for were long finned Zebra Danios. Really? How can these so-called "aquatic experts" that "carefully select the fish" make that kind of mistake? I mean really the person selecting the fish must be totally clueless. Again it is the amateur hour over there.
