Our recent partnership with Flying Fish Express substantially strengthens this position, affording customers the best selection, availability, service, and guarantees available.

Our Aquatic Specialists help educate aquarium owners - whether novice, hobbyist or a seasoned enthusiast - on the proper care of the aquarium's inhabitants as well as how to provide the best possible aquarium habitat. In addition to developing useful, informative fish and tank care articles for our PetEducation.com website, our Aquatic Specialists ensure that our high standards of quality are met at every stage of the ordering process.
Only the most experienced and responsible suppliers in the industry get to work with us - those who share our commitment to the preservation of our oceans and the life within them. To protect our natural resources, we support companies investing in aquacultured and tankraised species.
Our veterinarian-inspected and approved holding facility uses state-of-the-art equipment and technology to maintain precise water conditions and maintain all aquatic life in optimum health.
The quality and health of our aquatic life is second to none. Each specimen is visually inspected by an experienced aquatic expert before it is selected for your aquarium. While in our care, every fish is offered the proper foods to meet its specific nutritional requirements.
Simply put, our SigNature Shipping™ is the best in the industry. Your aquatic life is carefully packed in multiple polyethylene bags with puncture-resistant liners between them, filled with new water and pure oxygen. They are then placed in a temperature-controlled shipping container to ensure a safe, overnight transit to your home.
Our detailed Acclimation Guide, included with every order, will take you step-by-step through the process of adjusting your new aquatic life to their new home.
And finally, we back up our commitment to providing you with the best aquatic life available with a guarantee unprecedented in the industry - our Arrive Alive, Stay Alive 10 Day Guarantee!

I order 45 pounds of fiji live rock. I paid extra money for Saturday delivery. Well, the box arrived on Friday morning and I didnt notice it until Saturday morning. Afternoon temp was 100 F, so the rock was completely dry and devoid of any life. They refunded me the $30, but I still lost $125. There wasnt even any bacteria to weight down my sand.
I have heard only great things about them, so I would say they are goodd vendors.

I ordered 60 lbs of Lalo live rock and it is just beautiful. I had it shipped next day, got here at 9:30 am. The outer styrofoam box was a little beat up, and there were a few gnats.... but the rock was fine. There are great pieces for caves and aquascaping. There was no bad odor, even with recent temperatures over 100. I will be using it to cycle my new tank.
There was tons of life on it... even a live peanut worm in the box. (I didnt put him in my tank.) I can see sponges, there are numerous different hard corals and a ton of red, green and yellow corraline algaes. There are duster clusters and scallop/clam shells of many kinds as well. It is almost a shame it cant be shipped in water, even though there was relatively little dieback. I cant wait to see what else will pop up on it!
I definately recommend getting live rock from them... its a hundred times better than anything I could have gotten in an area store, and cheaper too. Just have to 'cure' it yourself.
UPDATE: Ordered Nerite Snails a few Turbo snail, some red tip and zebra dwarf hermit crabs and they arrived in great shape- only one little hermit crab didnt make it but Ithink another crab killed him to get his shell. And the Turbo snails I got- one is so big I may have to take him to the pet store! He is over an inch and a half wide!
