GBDon'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.

GBFirst 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.

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.

GBWow, absolutely horrible! Wow! Horrible place to order from. Should have looked at the company's reviews online before using them. Messed up two orders, then, when I canceled they said it would be 3-5 days for the charge to come off. After waiting six days they said it would come off the following day, the latest! That has come and gone. I would suggest just going to the closest ocean and trying to catch your own fish or gather corals, you will have better luck with that! A 1 rating is actually too much!

GBDefinitely a great experience Definitely a great experience. I made an order of fish from live aquaria. They all came packaged extremely well. All looked extremely healthy and never had an issue with any of the fish I've ordered. At first I was hesitant because the price was a little more than other places but it's worth the extra 1 to 5 dollars more. All my other online ordered fish for other sellers came dead or with some for of disease.
