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.

Dead 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.

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.

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.

Dishonest - they take your money and run The company does not stand by their refund policy. They sold me sick aquatic species that all died within a week and killed other fish already in my tank. They refused to provide a refund and threatened to block me from all future purchases if I filed a credit card charge dispute, which I did. But it doesn’t matter now because I would NEVER order from their company again. There are other better alternatives out there. Don’t use this company.
