The Guarantee
The Live Arrival Guarantee — Early AM Overnight Only
Every order is packed by aquarists who keep the same animals you’re buying. A live arrival guarantee applies to one shipping method only — Early AM Overnight. Next Day Air and 2-Day carry no live arrival guarantee, and neither does USPS Priority.
Quarantined & Treated
Choose quarantined and your animal completes a full quarantine and treatment protocol before it ships. Choose non-quarantined and it goes home now, clearly labeled.
Expert Packing
Heat or cold packs included as conditions require. Insulated packaging on every live animal order.
Live Arrival Guarantee
Quarantined: 48 hours shipped or 28 days on pickup. Lightly medicated: 24 hours or 7 days. Non-quarantined: 1 hour or 24 hours. Pickup windows need a tested water sample; maintenance clients get 60 days when we service the aquarium at least twice a month. Claims need video of the sealed bag opened on camera — store credit or replacement.
Kept by Aquarists
We keep the same animals you’re buying. You get accurate care info from people who actually raise them.
Choose your tier
Three rungs, priced honestly. The difference is who does the quarantine.
Same animals, same tanks, same biologist. What changes is how much time we have already put into the fish before it reaches you — and what we are willing to guarantee because of it.
The honest deal
Non-Quarantined
The same livestock straight from import, and it goes home now. Covered by a 1-hour DOA window from confirmed delivery when it ships Early AM Overnight, and 24 hours on local pickup or local delivery with a tested water sample from your aquarium — no live guarantee past that. You are the quarantine department, and the price says so.
The middle rung
Lightly Medicated
Held briefly on our systems and given one light prophylactic course — ich, and internal and external worms — then conditioned back onto prepared food and watched eating before it leaves. A light course lowers the parasite load; it does not clear the animal, and we will not pretend otherwise. 24-hour live guarantee from confirmed delivery when it ships Early AM Overnight, 7 days on local pickup or local delivery with a tested water sample.
The luxury standard
Quarantined
Quarantined to order — treated preventively, observed daily, and confirmed eating before it goes home. 48-hour live guarantee from confirmed delivery when it ships Early AM Overnight, and 28 days on local pickup or local delivery with a tested water sample.
Maintenance clients sit above all three: a 60-day live guarantee on any livestock you buy from us while we service the aquarium at least twice a month, and 28 days on a monthly plan. A live arrival guarantee applies to Early AM Overnight only: Next Day Air and 2-Day carry no live arrival guarantee, and neither does USPS Priority. Every tier allows up to two extra weeks of sourcing in front of its window if the animal is not already in-house.
