Hi Wayne;
Thanks for ordering with us again! We’re happy to hear your fish arrived quickly and in great shape. We appreciate your continued support. Happy fishkeeping!
Delivery was as scheduled but quality of discus was not ad good. Volors were not as shown on pictures and mostly pretty dull looking. Three died within days after arrival and one is looking very thin and not eating as it dhould slthough I have tried everything. Just not worth the shipping cost to lose half the fish after arrival. I followed installation instucktions exactly and am not an inexperienced owner.

Hi Sylvia;
We’re sorry to hear you’ve had trouble with some of your fish. We always encourage our customers to contact us at the first sign of any health concerns, as we’re happy to help assess the situation and offer recommendations that may help turn things around. Fish can sometimes arrive looking dull or washed out from the stress of shipping, with their colors improving as they settle in and acclimate. We wish we’d had the opportunity to help when you first noticed the issues. Please feel free to reach out to us so we can take a closer look at what may be going on with the remaining fish.
Easy site to navigate, fish arrived alive and beautiful. Just a great experience all around!

I’ve ordered three times from iFISH and has been very pleased with the quick delivery of my beautiful cichlids. The customer service team is amazing the quality of service they offer is outstanding. I’ve reached out and they responded right away of the loss of my fish and showed concern and offered support and refund. I look to continue business with this business for my future fishes.
Thank you

When my fish arrived, there was a dead fish in the bag looks as though he could have been dead for days and also there was like a 4 inch piece of plastic bag. Also, in there with the fish, I text a picture of the fish in the plastic and never got a response. Not good for customer service

Hi Pam;

Hi Mike;
Thanks for sharing your feedback. We’re very sorry to hear you lost two fish and understand how disappointing that can be.
Our Live Arrival Guarantee is designed to cover fish that arrive deceased or in poor condition, which is why we ask customers to notify us within 2 hours of delivery. After fish have been in a new aquarium for days or weeks, there are many factors that can affect their health, making it impossible to determine the cause of a loss.
Even though the first fish passed well outside of our guarantee period, we still offered a replacement as a one-time courtesy because we wanted to help. Unfortunately, we’re not able to replace fish that perish weeks after delivery, as we need to apply the same policy fairly and consistently for all of our customers.
We’re sorry your experience didn’t meet your expectations, and we appreciate that you gave us the opportunity to earn your business. We wish you and your aquarium all the best moving forward.
I receive Fish from them and they were packed and received just fine. Valerie and her husband are very good people to deal with, very nice and 100% business.

Hi Alex;
Thanks so much for the great review! We’re glad your barbs arrived healthy and that you were happy with the communication and quick shipping. We hope they’re settling in nicely. Thanks again, and happy fishkeeping!
13 of the fish were deal upon arrival. My husband took photos and tried to contact but the only method of contact required log in codes from me while I was at work and never received. No phone, no way to contact. MAKE IT RIGHT!

This is my best online fish purchasing experience so far.
I have my doubts with their unbelievable prices
But when the package arrived the color selection they sent me was pretty impressive
Very fast responsive through emails and answered all acclimation support needed.
I had best buck to value experience

This company stands by their fish, they package very well and care about the fish.
I had a loss and they offered either a replacement or a refund, I choose a replacement and that one came DOA, they still gave me a refund.
Great communication, willing to work with you.
I highly reccomend.
