Requesting Specific Genders: Unless discus have spawned in my tank I am not able to guarantee their gender. For discus 4" and over customers can request specific genders and I will make an educated guess to try and fulfill the request.
Live Delivery Guarantee: We are pleased to offer one of the most generous live delivery guarantees in our industry. Live delivery is guaranteed on ALL shipments that are picked up within 2 hours after arrival at the airport/bus station or in the case of home delivery are signed for on the first delivery attempt. In the rare event that a fish is dead on arrival simply e-mail or text us a video clearly showing the deceased fish on the day of arrival and we will issue a credit in the amount of the purchase price of the fish towards your next order. Shipping costs are not covered by the live delivery guarantee. There is no extended guarantee on the fish after arrival. Our responsibility is to get the fish to their destination safely and in excellent condition. The customer's responsibility is to provide the correct conditions and care for the fish once they have arrived. For those that are new to the hobby or unsure of how to handle newly arrived discus shipments I am very happy to discuss this by e-mail. I am also pleased to offer ongoing post sale support via e-mail to make sure that your discus thrive in their new home. Please note that our live delivery guarantee covers ALL shipments year round with no exceptions aside from late pick-up by the customer. This is by far one of the most generous live delivery guarantees in the industry. Please be aware that most companies have many disclaimers that will void the live delivery guarantee.

Acclimatization:
When you receive your shipment of fish I recommend floating the bags in your aquarium for 15 minutes to which will allow the water inside the bag to slowly adjust to the temperature of the water in your aquarium. After 15 minutes cut open the bags, throw out the shipping water and place the fish into your aquarium. An easy way to do this is by placing a fish net over a bucket. Cut the bag open and pour the contents of the bag (water and fish) into the net. The fish can then easily be transferred into your aquarium and the shipping water disposed of.
