DOA Claims

You can reach out to us through our email for any DOA claims. We offer 100% Live Arrival guarantee, If your fish arrive dead, send us a clear picture of the fish within 2 hours of delivery for a refund of your fish. It is rare for our fish to arrive DOA, 1 out of 50 could be due to conditions we can not control.

Acclimation

Most aquarium fish are hardy, but they still need slow acclimation to avoid stress and shock. When your fish arrives, float the bag for about 15–20 minutes to match temperature, then slowly add small amounts of tank water into the bag over 30–45 minutes. This helps them adjust to differences in pH, hardness, and temperature. Keep the lights off during acclimation and avoid feeding right away. In our experience, rushing acclimation is one of the easiest ways to lose an otherwise healthy fish—slow and calm always works better.
