Help with Buying Live Fish

At Aquarium Co-Op, we use our website to provide you with the best selection of live plants and aquarium products for your tank, and we also sell freshwater fish in our retail store located in Edmonds, Washington. While we don’t sell live animals online, we highly recommend these preferred vendors who will ship live fish and invertebrates to your front door.

Dan's Fish is committed to responsibly sourcing and humanely transporting healthy fish and other aquatic animals to their customers. Each fish is individually bagged, and they ship to the United States (including Alaska, Hawaii, and Puerto Rico) and Canada. We receive compensation if you make a purchase from Dan's Fish. 

Imperial Tropicals is a farm based in Florida that sells directly to hobbyists. Lots of the fish are bred on site in the ponds at the farm. Mike and his team have done an amazing job and ship out great fish. I've ordered several times over the years and have fish in my fish room currently that I purchased from Imperial Tropicals.

BuyPetShrimp.com is owned by Erik Lucas. You may have seen him at trade shows and shrimp competitions. I've been ordering shrimp from him for my personal tanks and have known him for many years. We've always had good luck with his shrimp and rare crypt plants.

Aquarium Coop and your videos are a large reason why I have become heavily involved in the aquarium hobby for the second time in my life. Being from a very isolated place, the closest good fish store is 3 to 4 hours drive, AC is invaluable. I came back to the hobby 4 years ago and I have 22 tanks, 60 fish species and have bred quite a few.

My husband orders from Alaska all the time. It was great to see the place. My husband called it a pilgrimage. Lol

I visited the store for the first time the other day and it is amazing! The animals and plants were healthier than I’ve ever seen in a store; the staff was friendly, knowledgeable, and passionate; and the prices on everything were extremely fair, much better than what I’m used to paying.

I was visiting from out of state so I couldn’t take too much home, but if I lived close enough I would going my way to do business with this shop. I might move just so I can. Easily the best shop I’ve ever visited across the entire country.

I’ve been a longtime fan of the YouTube channel and blog, so when I had a trip to Washington, I knew I needed to stop in and I am so glad I did.

I am new to the hobby. I had no idea what I was getting involved with. There is so much conflicting information out there. Finding the aquarium co-op is the best thing that happened since taking on this adventure. The staff is incredibly knowledgeable, answers all of the many questions I have every time I come in. I've been involved in this hobby for a couple months now and have been going there almost every weekend. I look forward to talking with the staff and getting answers to all of my questions. Customer service there is outstanding.

Very responsive customer services. I was really worried that plants would be badly affected by the hot weather and the time spent in shipping. I was reassured, offered a solution if needed, and it was not, because everything looked great. Thank you!

I’m very happy with my purchase from Aquarium Co-Op. The products are great, but what really stood out to me was the packaging. Everything was packed very neatly, securely, and with great attention to detail. You can tell they care about the customer experience.
Definitely be ordering from Aquarium Co-Op again.
Highly recommended!
