Great service

Great service - Purchased a fish then I changed my mind for another fish at the last minute - This wasn't a problem at all. Fish arrived (air freight) on time , very well packed and in great condition. Acclimatized it into QT, it settled in quickly and was eating within minutes -Thanks !!!

I was blown away by the customer…

I was blown away by the customer service and advice given to me when I phoned. Given they recommended we start with freshwater fish and their business is salt water only I will without doubt go to EasternMarine once our family is more experienced and ready to deal with saltwater fish. I will be recommending them highly.
