Directly from Our Farm to Your aquarium!

When having fish delivered to your home, consider that nearly all fish are shipped before reaching your local pet store. Unless sourced locally, they come via shipping from their original farm. It's the same when we send fish directly from our farm to your house!

How We Send the Fish to You

After you order, our Florida farm staff hand-selects your fish (see shipping schedule). We pack them carefully in a special bag with water and oxygen, then seal and insulate them in foam coolers.

We monitor weather for the overnight trip, adjusting with heating or cooling packs as needed to maintain safe temperatures.

All packages ship overnight to minimize travel time for your GloFish®. If we foresee any issues, we'll contact you to reschedule for optimal delivery.

When You Get Your Fish

It’s best if someone is home to receive the fish when they are delivered in your GloFish Box. If you are at an office all day, please consider having your fish delivered to your workplace. (Just select an alternative shipping address when you check out.) You can keep the sealed package in your room temperature office, and they will be fine until you arrive home to add them to your aquarium.

When you are ready to add your fish to their home, remember that acclimating them is a simple but very important step to ensure success.

If you have any questions about our shipping process or how to best acclimate your fish, please contact us or call us directly at 1-800-GLOFISH (1-800-456-3474).
