This place is a scam. They sell disgusting undersized and unhealthy fish. Fish arrived very skinny and with damaged fins. Feedback to the store, and they blocked my email. They can only fool customers once! Take my advice, do not be stupid and do not buy from them! User's recommendation: DONOT BE ANOTHER FOOL TO BUY FROM THEM

Horrible. Everyone came in alive, so can't file claim, but two discus covered in ICH, by day 3 all dead. Company will not respond, doesn't are, says our fault. How our fault if in a quarantine tank with no signs of disease?!?

Arrived day earlier than said they would be so sat on porch al day because I wasn't home. 9 discus at 2", all appeared in poor health. Some of them were very skinny. 4 of them were not even 1.5" in size (see picture). All off them have died in the next 3 weeks. Read all their info because they only guarantee live arrival, THAT'S ALL. Mine did arrive alive but under size and half of them are dead now.

I ordered 10 2" Discus fish. Read All the instructions. Followed All instructions. Bought a new 10 gallon aquarium and accessories. Set up the New aquarium to 84 degrees.

They arrived yesterday morning. Followed accumulation Requirements. Released the fish and All were alive and swimming in the Bag's. Looked healthy when I went to bed. Woke up at 7 am, to find All but One Dead.

$265.00, should Say $300 spent total. Advising Something Fishy Via email To them. Received Their Reply. Sorry To hear about your fish dieing.

NO Refund Or Replacement. We only guarantee they will arrive alive. I don't care about the Money per say. But I Do Care if Others have Payed their hard earned money, just To have them die.

I would Never Again Purchase anything from Something Fishy. Why because The Name Says Everything. SOMETHING IS FISHY going on.

In other words. Be aware They don't care about the customers Period. I

I ordered 12 Discus fish and paid the high shipping for overnight delivery. The package came a day late. Once the package was late we notified the company and they said the packaging was guaranteed to stay warm for 72 hours. Fish arrived the next morning all dead, with 3 tiny heat packs that were cold. The water temperature was below 55 degrees. They refuse to accept responsibility for the shipping when they packaged them poorly. We have ordered plenty of live fish including salt water fish to our home without this problem. We have even had a successful shipment from this same company 2 years ago. Absolutely ridiculous. With that high shipping you should get a guarantee from the shipping provider.
I posted a picture of the poor fish and the 3 tiny heat packs.

Cheap website should have been a warning! So happy my order didn't go through! Do not buy fish from this
Place! Horrible customer service! Rude and disrespectful!

I met UPS for my aquatic delivery in my driveway on 12/14/2023 at 11:20am CDT (ordered on 12/6/2023). 5-large angelfish (not large at all) 2" discus=4 and tetras. 2 of the 5 angels were DOA, Quarantined the "survivors" (bags were leaky with very little oxygen), if any, for shipping fish next day. Five hours in from delivery and quarantin, 3 angels will NOT survive along with 1 discus as of this review. Normally in December weather is a factor in illinois, but today it was 51 degrees outside, so exposure to weather a none issue. Fish were poorly packaged and sent out to NOT survive in my environment. Do NOT BUY from this seller, FULL STOP! I wanted healthy fish delivered safely, the animals shipped to me suffered from poor shipping methods. My apologies for the photos, this is what the vendor wants from buyers to prove livestock is DOA (stick toothpicks in DOAs)...other photos show how fish are still struggling to survive 8 hours into being poorly shipped with very little oxygen. I wanted the fish which is why I spent over $300 on his shipment...NOT FREE STUFF from vendor=Do NOT Patronize unless you can walk/drive to pickup your livestock.

The website was malfunctioning. So I went to their chat help. Period they didn't believe that the website was doing what it was doing. And then they deleted my account when I complained and gave them a bad review. And said. Take your business somewhere else no problem

Sending me unhealthy discus fish and also I just complaint about recent order, they took me out from their account. Sending me tiny 1.25" to 1.5" discus fish. All skinny. And many fish did not make two weeks. Very few survived. Few of them alive and still looks about 1.5" and skinny after months of living.
Compare to Myrtle Beach Discus, I had to order extra discus fish and I got all healthy fish and all of them are doing really well. Please do not risk

Their discus are carriers of the Blackdeath/ discus plague… I have raised discus for over 20 years and had 12 discus in tank for over 3 years with not a single issue including breeding pairs. I order their 10 pack to add to my school. All my discus have been slowly dying do to their discus being carriers of this. It can not be cured or treated and will carry it for life.when I contacted them just to inform them. Not asking for a refund or anything they were extremely rude and then deleted my account. So I could not access anything or leave a review on their page

Owner is rude. Doesn't respond that quickly and i would rather do business else where DO NOT RECOMMEND

They stoped answering me the second day and never refunded me my money for 10 fish that died in 4 days the fish werre not packed properly or big enough to ship but they shipped them anyway. Uncaring seller who only lies to get sales i got 2 fish that lived a;ll the rest died in 4 days

Great Experience and the plants and fish were amazing. Keith was exceptional to deal with and very informative. No issues. Only a positive and professional experience. Highly recommend.

I ordered 6 x 2.5 Inch discus and 2 of them arrived sick, one of them of just 1 Inch, after 10 days 4 were dead.

As stated above I have bought many fish from this site and have rarely lost any other than the result of water conditions on my end. It's important to follow the directions listed and put the fish in a quarenteen tank with reverse osmosis water, with the proper PH for the discus listed on his site that can be purchased there also. The smaller and cheaper discus are much trickier to raise imo than the larger size so keep that in mind.

Under no circumstances should one buy discus from this vendor. Most of them arrive undersized, and sick.
I have ordered three-3.5 inch discus. Only one arrived 3.0 inches, and healthy. Leopard discus was 2.75 inches, covered in ick, frayed fins, and malnourished. Blue snake-2.5 inches,malnourished, ick.
The packaging was poor, and the heating pads cold on arrival, even though I picked them up directly from UPS in their service center.
They are being treated, but not clear if they will survive.
The vendor refuses to remedy the situation. He states that he promised live arrival, and they arrived alive!

To me

You did not send pictures proving of the fish in question. The picture you sent IS NOT undersized.

I am not going to keep going back and for the with you.
Your fish arrived alive. They are the correct size.
This transaction is now complete and finished.
Your account is now closed.
I will not reply again.

I do look at other reviews and yes I was one of the ones skeptical to order with all the bad reviews but I can honestly say that I have ordered fish online for years and NEVER have I ordered fish on a Tuesday and they come the VERY NEXT DAY!. Yes I will be back, all my discus were healthy with no issues. I am no relative nor am I getting paid for my review!

Somehow my order arrived well-packed, and everything is fine with the fish I ordered. I will keep you updated as I, unfortunately, read all the bad reviews after already making an order. I hope that my fish won't die as it happened to many here. I think the shop should be attentive to its reputation and interact with the unsatisfied customers and do something about the bad service, as it strongly damages your business.

I just got a 20 pack of assorted Discus fish a last week from Keith at Somethingsphishy.com and as usually they all arrived on time, well packed and everyone arrived healthy, I am so pleased that I ordered a 20 pack of assorted as I received 20 different strains! This is my 3rd order from Somethingsphishy and just like the first 2 orders I received, Keith answered all my questions professionally, quickly and I could not be happier! Fast shipping, amazing quality and 20 different strains! REALLY!

I got discus that aren't on the website. I recieved 2 Albino discus, one gold and one blue diamond. I also got a gorgous Red Leopard!

I have a show tank in my business lobby and my receptionist is always getting request for "Where did you get these Gorgeous Fish?!"

I have had more than one of my clients tell me that they bought fish from Keith at Somethingsphishy.com after visiting my office and seeing our show tank!

I should ask Keith for a commission for all the referrals! LOL!
