Is my tank ready for new fish?

Your tank should be fully cycled with stable parameters (0 ammonia, 0 nitrites, <20 nitrates) before adding new fish. If you're unsure, message us with your test results.

How are fish shipped safely?

Each fish is bagged with oxygen and packed in insulated boxes with heat or cool packs as needed. We ship Monday–Wednesday only to avoid weekend delays.

What's your live arrival guarantee?

If a fish arrives DOA, send us a photo within 4 hours of delivery (in the unopened bag) and we'll replace or refund.

Can I mix this with my existing fish?

Check the temperament tag and water parameter ranges. We're happy to advise — message us with your current stocking and we'll let you know if it's a good match.

How long should I acclimate?

Drip acclimate over 30–45 minutes to match your tank's water parameters. Don't dump the bag water into your tank.
