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.

Dead 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.

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!!!

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.

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.
