Rosie Red Minnows - Versatile Live Fish Perfect for Aquariums or as Feeder Fish for Ponds - Small, 250 Count

They showed up packaged well, cool pack to keep temps down. Every one of them was alive and well. Fast shipping and good communication.

Excellent purchase, highly recommend!

I had a really good review for the guppies that came from this farm not long ago; I bought 100 rosy red large size this time though, five were dead when I received them and I may have 80 left a few days later. They keep dying a few here and there. I do have a little elevated nitrite level now that I’ve stocked fish in my aquaponics fish tank. I do not think the fish farm can do much after the fish get in the customers hands. I may be killing them with my nitrite spike. I’m gonna say that they try, and a lot is up circumstances. I wormed them the day after I received them and I treated them for disease today in case any of them were sick. Hopefully they’ll stop dying here and there. One issue I had was they wouldn’t eat, like whatever I fed them they didn’t eat. I bought commercial minnow food off of Amazon and they like that, but that was after day three, and I was worried that them not eating was hurting them, and it probably was.

I would NOT RECOMMEND this purchase. I was initially impressed with overnight live delivery, all fish arrived in bright orange color, all alive. HOWEVER, within 24 hrs I was scooping out 25+ dead minnows from my 40 gallon tank, with no apparent cause of death, except red blood spots on the bodies. I did an immediate water change, and within a few hours and for the next 24 hrs I was again scooping out anywhere from 6 - 12 dead fish - again - no apparent cause except the red blood spots on the bodies, and I've been cleaning dead fish out of my aquarium no less than 2xs a day ever since. My research as to what could be happening says disease is the most likely culprit. Now - a bit of history for me: I have a 55g community tank - all fish are 2.5 yrs old, with 2nd & 3rd generation platys. I have never experience mass die off. I also have a 40g Axolotly tank with 4 Axolotls age 6-18 months old. And I have a 150 g. pond with 19 - 3rd generation goldfish that are 2.5 yrs old (parents were eaten by racoon invasion). So it's not like I don't know what I'm doing. I'm not an expert, but I'm not a beginner either.Today is day 5 since these fish were delivered, and I wake up to a cloudy tank with about 25+ dead fish. Yesterday I cleared 6 dead fish upon waking, a water change, and scooped 6-8 dead fish every 4-5 hours.I have contacted the seller, no response, and I am at a loss. These are pretty little fish, altho I did buy them to feed to Axolotls - but I cannot feed them because clearly there is a disease of some sort and so now I feel I bought 100+ fish just to watch them die and spend my time scooping dead fish and doing water changes. As far as I'm concerned this is a COMPLETE WASTE OF $$ and will never purchase these again. Furthermore, the return policy states that I will have to pay a 50% restocking fee to return. I want a total refund but I'm not sure how that works since I didn't save any of the dead fish. So I get burned all the way around. I will update this review upon seller response.8/16/21 UPDATE: I never got a response from the seller about my issues with these fish. I attempted to use Tetra Lifeguard to cure the fungus rapidly overcoming these little fish, and it only seemed to exasperate the issues!! I took all the fish out of the tank, put them in a whole new bare naked tank with a salt bath recipe and they all survived for 24 hrs and I thought BINGO! But between 36 & 48 hrs they were all dying off again. I literally watched on an hourly basis as they took a turn for the worst.I finally requested a return, but they all died before I could return. Never got to use them as intended (feeders) and for 10 days I scooped dead fish and performed water changes trying to save these little fish. A total waste of $$, time, and emotional investment in this situation. I am glad it's over as I am exhausted.As I've stated before, in my 40 yrs of aquatic hobby, I have never experienced such massive die off without cause or cure. I will never make this mistake again.

Shiped overnight ,all still alive and healthy

The media could not be loaded. This company is great, ordered 100 counts and got it alive, few died. Not too bad tho. Only fedex shipping issues like delay for a few days than overnight shipping. I'll buy again 👍

Gotta give the company 5 stars. And here’s why.1- shortly after order, I was contacted in app by a representative informing me of when my fish were to be shipped & when to expect them2- received my order in 24hrs3- only lost 2 fish, they got caught up in the bag creases during shipping4- zero floaters 24 hrs after pouring them into my pond5- the little fish are just cool as hell & really stand out in the water column! They definitely add that extra bit of “Zen” to the water garden & pond. 😎Just placed and received a second order. Just as perfect as the first time. 748 arrived alive, 2 got the smush during packing & shipping.So long as they make the winter here, next year should be a blast to watch & enjoy.Thnx again T-Fish!!!

Lost 15 to 20 at a time or more, by 2 days after arrival they were all dead. Just ordered another 100 to see if they make it but at 80 bucks a pop?
