    Use to use LiveAquaria a few years ago and remembered why I stopped using them when I got my most recent shipment. I placed an order and made the mistake of not looking at the most recent Yelp Reviews or reviews in general for this company. And yes indeed avoid this Mom & Pop operation, they haven't gotten better.... This place uses 'drop ship' from Los Angeles fish mills, not their 'mom and pop' store in Wisconsin. The main thing LiveAquaria had going for it was selection, but they don't stock what they claim (and they don't pay attention to what's healthy). My order of 12 Black Neon Tetra's arrived covered in Ich with 2 being DOA. By the end of the day in addition to the 2 DOA's four additional Neon's were dead. By the end of the second day an additional Neon and one shrimp were dead. Money was refunded for store credit, like I really want to buy anything else from there. By the end of day eight lost a Black Loach. Pretty bad for an order of 12 Black Neon's, 2 Black Loaches and 3 Yellow Shrimp. Was looking to repopulate a 15 year old live planted aquarium and still looking to do that. Aquatic Arts, Aquahuna here we come!!!!

    Unfortunately this will be our last order with LiveAquaria. Who is in charge of inspecting specimens before shipment? Why on earth would you choose to send a Betta with obvious fungal growth? Or - do you not inspect specimens at all before shipment?Customer Service did their best by suggesting treatment and extending guarantee by ten days or so but....Today is seven days into their suggested treatment, nothing has changed. The growth is slightly bigger, and now I am left scouring the internet for different medication. After spending 60 dollars for this beautiful fish, I am continuing to spend money on him to find a remedy. Remaining hopeful but it's difficult after these reviews, and after losing my first Betta from them purchased earlier this year shorty after diamond eye developed (which was already starting to show when he arrived. Dead within 3 months or so of purchase). In total, two sick bettas, out of three purchased, and this most recent one with the growth came from Divers Den, which is even more surprising. We simply cannot choose to continue supporting this business. Sick fish. Order A4166766-1

    Last 3 dead ones I just pulled out I now have only 4 of the 24 rummy noses I ordered :/

    I wish I could rate 0 stars, I ordered 24 rummy nose tetras then was given the run around for almost three weeks, then out of nowhere it says my order is Shipping, I receive the tetras and open the box to find 7 DOA and the rest looked STARVED, had FIN ROT and we're COVERED IN ich. After I took the 7 out I started drip acclimating them because their bags were filled with fish waste, during drip acclimation of over 5 hours, 4 more of them dropped dead, I then placed them into my fully cycled 1 year old planted 75 gallon with the most perfect parameters, I did this to just try and save at least some of them, in the past hour 2 more of them dropped dead, and out of 24 rummy nose tetras I have 3 left. I have been in this hobby for years and have never ever had this happen from any website or any LFS I took the utmost care with these guys, they died because of their treatment at the live aquaria facility, it looked almost as if the fish have just been swimming around with their dead friends rotting in the tank like at Petco! The fin rot also was just terrible it looked as if they were using tap water for all their tanks -_- DO NOT BUY FROM LIVE AQUARIA MY REAL REVIEW IS 0/5 STARS. Below are pictures of my 5 month old planted 75 gallon tank with freshly added Monte Carlo, every fish I've put in this tank has flourished from the terrible pet store state it was in but not even my tank could save these doomed rummy noses. If you want good fish that won't die or kill all your fish due to their diseases order off aquatic arts or aquahuna, I've ordered shrimp and many rummy noses from them with no DOA and also no deaths after 2 weeks, same exact acclimation process as well (slow drip over 4 hours method) Long story short this whole facility is very scammy and 90% of their stock is diseased and will die on you quick according to everyone else's experiences. I don't care if I get a refund because you can't return my time wasted calling you guys, supplies wasted trying to save YOUR messed up fish I paid good money for and most of all for all the potential deaths I might have now because you guys sent me DISEASED FISH THAT JUST TWITCH AND DIE. NOTE some of my fish are 5+ years old so if this kills them all off, I'll probably be done with the hobby thanks to these guys!

    Fish not not on due to acclimating

    They were all alive and I thought could just add medicine but the platys were affected with ICK they all died today and one pretty guppy as well hopefully the rest will survive the night

    The smallest Anthias I come across under size "SMALL".  DOA.

    See all
