Packing

  • All our fish are packed in 6 mm plastic bags with oxygen & then put into a insulated Styrofoam corrugated box and proper labels
  • There is no additional packing or box fee

Payments

  • No minimum dollar value amount is required to place an order, but it is of better value to the client to order more than one fish
  • Our Goldfish and Koi prices are in Canadian dollars

Cost of Shipping a Box

  • Canadian shipping rate range: $60 – $150 Cdn. (dependent on location). Delivery cost for drop off in the GTA area (Meeting place Yorkdale Mall Toronto) is $30.00

Our Guarantee

  • The very fish that you order is that which you will receive
  • All fish have been quarantined for a minimum of 30 days before sale
  • We ship out only healthy and live fish
  • Should the fish you have chosen become sick, even the night before shipping, we will not send it out, but will nurse it, monitor the situation and update you
  • If a fish dies in transit and is dead upon arrival, to facilitate a credit back, we require a phone call immediately & a digital photo of the fish to be emailed to us within 3 hours of the flight arrival
  • Like virtually all pet stores, we do not guarantee the fish’s condition thereafter

Before Your Fish Arrive

  • Place water in holding tank at least 3 days before ship date to de-chlorinate
  • Add .3% salt
  • Make sure to add an air stone to supply plenty of oxygen
  • Have a proper filter system in place in a cycled tank or aquarium

When Your Fish Arrive

  • When you receive your fish, first open the box and check that the fish are still active in the bag
  • Remove the bag containing the fish from the box and place it into your holding tank
  • Let the bag float for about 15-20 minutes allowing bag’s temperature to adjust
  • Then open the bag and pour 1-2 cups of the tank’s water into the bag – then let it float for another 10 minutes
  • After that remove the fish from the bag into the tank & throw away the bag water
  • Do not introduce the bag’s water into your tank or aquarium
  • Do not feed you fish on the 1st day of arrival or until after 24 hours passed
  • Monitor your water parameters for the next weeks
  • Do 10% water changes weekly
  • Some items you may want to have on hand: – Malifex, Prime, and Salt.

All the best and May God bless you.
The Fish Sempai.
