Outstanding results
Ordered 5 siamese algae eaters. Because I have a 155 gallon tank with several large fish I call Pet Zone to make sure the fish they were delivering would be large enough to do well in this already established tank. The representative was very helpful and said the fish being delivered would be large enough to live in my community. The fish were shiped out that day arrived the next day just after 12:00PM. They arrived very healthy and the exact size promised. They are doing very well in the tank. I've ordered from multiple places online in the past. Pet Zone is clearly in the top 1%! Will order from them again. Thank you for your outstanding service.

Easy ordering, friendly staff. Ordered 6, 5 survived transit 1 died of stress once in the tank. The other 4 are very healthy and happy. Shipping from California, the loss of the two I kind of expected. Will do business again. Knocking one star off due to my request to ship the fish Wed for a Thur delivery. Had to take some time off work to be there for the delivery. Kind of annoying. Great overall experience.
