LiveAquaria Recensioni 75

just wanted to send a email to notify someone I have not had the best experience with this company. I am completely understanding of weather delays and am aware your company cannot control that. However when my fish arrived dead I asked for a refund and was given store credit instead. I was not happy about the situation but decided to go ahead and place an order anyways worrying about the shipping process again and curious if I would just be killing fish again trying to order them. When I read my email for store credit it specifically stated to add in comments to apply store credit. When I placed my order the full amount of the order was taken from my account and no store credit was applied. I suggest if you give someone store credit to make it out in a gift card or promo code so it is applied immediately and you do not charge someone's account for unnecessary charges. When I called your 1 800 number a lady answered, soon as I gave her my address she was immediately rude, did not give me a chance to state my problem or case and jumping to conclusions about something she did not completely understand the whole situation of. I was very polite, did not raise my voice or curse at her as so she did me, as in raising her voice. I understand you have a brand and company to protect and you're going to be fully persistent on keeping a good brand, I just wanted to state my case for your future orders and concerns you will receive about the same situation.

DO NOT BUY FISH FROM THIS PLACE!! I recently purchased 9 guppies from this place. The day they arrived, the largest guppy looked like he was rotting and decomposing and could barely swim. He looked as if he had been sick for a while, and was slowly wasting away. He was clinging to life and shaking. His back fin was drooping and he could barely swim. A few hours later, he died. About an hour after that a second guppy died.
Now to the blue guppies. Of the three, only one looked healthy. The other two had chewed up and rotting fins. One of the sickly ones had a bloated stomach and his blue fins were actually a greyish brown blue color.
His fins looked like he had survived a shark attack and his face was pale with bulging eyes. Imagine the walking dead but in fish form.
Most of the fish also had stringy white poop, which usually indicates a parasitic or bacterial infection.
The return policy for this company is STORE CREDIT only. But why would I ever purchase ANYTHING from this company again?
And for the record, I have purchased fish from Petsmart and Petco, and even with their stock usually being substandard, the pet shops have never sold me anything this low quality before, EVER!!
A COMPLETE AND TOTAL WASTE OF MONEY!!

Literally the worst supplier of fish. Every animal I purchased was damaged or poor quality. I purchased 2 "lemon oscars" that ended up just terrible quality albinos for a premium price. They were also lethargic from being cold in 60° water (these are tropical fish). A couple invertebrates the snails had cracks and broken shells. Then the plecostomus was clinging to life with shredded fins that broke off into more and more pieces when he'd try to move. Nothing was officially DOA but this company should be shut down for animal abuse. Absolute worst care I've ever seen. On the customer service side they said to email them for what I thought were incorrect fish (the "lemons") but customer service ignored my email. The pleco died soon after arrival since it was so busted up so I filed a claim for their 14 day warranty and received a small store credit of $7 for the pleco $9 sick and damages pleco. I spent $100 between shipping and fish. Absolute hole do not buy!!

Love them.. ordered $300 worth of coral and fish worth the money for sure

All fish arrived within 24 hours. All were packaged well and looked very healthy.

Would give zero stars if I could. Ordered a midas blenny and it arrived dead...no ice packs in the box and it was so hot inside when I got it (unlike when I ordered corals from another establishment, which was carefully shipped with cooling packs). I feel sick this fish was essentially killed this way. I'll never be using them again.

Used to be a great, no questions asked company when it came to returns and customer service issues. Terrible customer service. Fish died or were dead on arrival. Avoid these guys.

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.

I have a 75 gallon tank. I have placed an order with LiveAquaria on 2 separate occasions, and both times have lost most of the fish within the first week. The first time, I blamed it on the fact that I was a new hobbiest and was inexperienced. Many successful years later, the same thing happened with the second order. 2 fish were DOA, and I keep losing more fish by the day. I followed all the proper acclimation procedures. There are fish in that tank that are over 4 years old and still thriving. The only ones dying are the ones from liveaquaria. You can’t get a refund, only a store credit which is completely useless to me. I will never again be placing any orders with them.

I've ordered from them three times. One fish of what was supposed to be a male/female pair was left out of the first order, and one arrived dead in the third order. Granted, they will refund you the costs of the fish, but you are still out the $29.99 overnight air shipping. You won't receive a credit on that, even when LiveAquaria manages to leave a fish out of your original shipment. A credit on a missing or dead fish is nice, but that really doesn't begin to cover the shipping charges on an order they screwed up, and they are not going to offer to send you a replacement on their dime.

On the positive side, their packaging and shipping procedures (when the fish actually makes into the package) are great and their representatives are very pleasant. However, that I'm out $60 in shipping charges on one fish I didn't receive and one that arrived dead seems like a very valid reason to longer shop with them. There are other places to shop for fish and plants online, I would recommend trying those before LiveAquaria.

My first order from them resulted in a dead blend arriving and an order for a coral that was in stock when I purchased but, after I submitted the order, was back ordered for weeks possibly. Customer service said they’d apply credit to my account for the dead fish. But, if I want to reorder, they'd charge me $40 for box fees and shipping if I want use that credit to get a new fish. I have. A”box” right here that the dead fish cane in and $30 shipping that the was wasted. And I’m not sure if, when my coral gets in stock, they’ll charge for shipping that separately. I won’t be using them again.

Definitely a great experience. I made an order of fish from live aquaria. They all came packaged extremely well. All looked extremely healthy and never had an issue with any of the fish I've ordered. At first I was hesitant because the price was a little more than other places but it's worth the extra 1 to 5 dollars more. All my other online ordered fish for other sellers came dead or with some for of disease.

i love liveaquaria.com because they have the best fish ever manta rays ,eels ,cat shark eggs and more so check it out give reviews and they make sure the fish are alive when you get them its the saltwater,freshwater store around
