I recently ordered live fish from…

I recently ordered live fish from Aquatropics, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience. The package was perfectly packed, and it was clear that a lot of care and effort had gone into preparing everything safely for transport. Andy did an amazing job making sure everything was secure and well protected.

All the animals arrived alive and in excellent condition, which really shows the high standards they maintain. My son actually placed the order himself, and he was absolutely over the moon when the fish arrived after school. He takes great care of them.

Thank you again for the fantastic service and for maintaining such high quality. I would definitely recommend Aquatropics to anyone looking to order live fish online.

Great seller, fantastic examples of fish!

Very good experience with Aquatropics London. The order arrived when they said it will, despite not getting an email saying it’s on the way, first thing in the morning, by 08:00 AM. The parcel was very well wrapped with labels on it for “live fish”, no leaking bags, extinguished example of American Cichlids which are doing fantastic. Overall, great service! Well done.

Excellent service and very helpfull

Was very pleased with the service. I ordered 3 hermit crabs, they responded to my emails and answered my queries quickly and we're very helpful after the initial purchase. They were sent well packaged and arrived safely and active from was delivered a week earlier than originally planned which was much appreciated, I will definitely use them again in the future
Thankyou to Andy for your help. The only thing I would mention is that the box didn't state it had live animals inside

AVOID! They use ROYAL MAIL to ship live fish

EDIT:
The company emailed me back to say they’re refunding my order, and have taken my concerns about using Royal Mail to ship live animals. I still wouldn’t use this company again however.

I ordered 6 chilli rasboras which when arrived (took 2 weeks to ship), came via Royal Mail and nothing on the box to say it had live animals inside, except a measly fragile sticker on one side. This is because Royal Mail does not allow live animal transit! And postage costs £20… what for?? Then when I opened the box I had 3 dead fish and they weren’t even the ones I ordered!! They’ve sent me Pygmy rasboras or something, but they’re definitely not chilli’s. The only contact details I found was a WhatsApp number so I texted it. Of course there has been no reply and I’m not expecting one. THIS COMPANY IS NOT A LEGIT ONE! And they clearly don’t care about animal welfare or customer service. So sad. Those poor fish.

First time ordering fish online

First time ordering fish online. They had exactly what I was looking for. Everything was straightforward. The packaging is 10/10. All the fish are alive and well and they all look very healthy. I will definitely buy again!

Brilliant.

Brilliant.

Notified of a delivery change due to weather temperature dropping and safer for the fish to travel early.

Extremely well packed, with little heaters to keep the fish at a good temperature during transition. Fish were very content and didn’t seem stressed at all.

They are very happy in the tank.

I will definitely recommend to anyone. I will be placing another order very soon

Thanks guys

Lovely little fish

There was a slight mix-up with my order. This was resolved quickly in a friendly, efficient manner. In a gesture of goodwill, Aquatropics gave me two extra fish. Most unexpected.
