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.

My first experience was great. 90% of the plants were delivered as expected. I was expecting to get submersed grown water wisteria, but got emersed grown instead, which is also not doing well converting. Some plants like anubias coffeefolia was heavily damaged during shipment, but it’s still hanging on. Overall, I’m a big fan of Cory and the Aquarium Co-op and just happy to finally get to support the brand.

Great as always! But the new location really delays shipping to California now. Plants sometimes do not arrive to nice but customer service always there to help.

I was so excited to find a tank with young Dario dario and bought all you had. They are coloring up well in a 29g tank with a dense carpet of Crypts and a few chili rasbora and a couple chain loach tankmates. Hoping for at least one female in the midst....before this I've only had males (sigh). Thanks again!

I'm not sure, so I defer to your great knowledge, but perhaps higher levels of some of the Trace minerals? Anyway, I'm happy and sticking with the All-In- One.

Made a purchase on the website last month. There was a bug about the free t-shirt and it charged me. I sent an email to customer service and Candi took care of it quickly! I love there personal touch to customer service and prompt response. I always look forward to my ACO boxes in the mail, well packed and fun to discover what sticker i get this time.

Literally the best fish store I’ve ever been to. Drove 2 hours because of people recommending it and I had a wonderful experience. The people that work there are super friendly and knowledgeable about fish. And their selection is amazing. I went in for some chili rasboras and Pygmy Cory’s (literally nobody by me had them and I refuse to even try Petco/petsmart) but aquarium co-op had both of them in stock. And they had a TON of them. I absolutely love the set up and the decor you can get for the tanks. Very nice store and healthy looking fish. I would definitely go out of my way to continue to go to this store.
