Description:

We focus on breeding exotic plecos and corydoras. All of the fish we sell are captive bred in our Minnesota fish room.

We strive to make every transaction a positive buying experience, while providing you with quality fish not often found in your LFS. Due the rarity and time invested to breed these fish, we only provide them with the best possible treatment. Because of this, we only ship UPS Next Day Air.

Policy:

Live Arrival/DOA Policy:

(DOA=Dead On Arrival)

We guarantee LIVE arrival on all ON-TIME deliveries.

Live arrival guarantee does NOT apply to shipments delayed by carrier, weather or otherwise.

If you miss the carrier’s first delivery attempt, or the package is left outside in extreme heat or cold, the live arrival guarantee is void. It is your responsibility to be available when the carrier attempts delivery.

Shipping charges are not covered by our Live Arrival Guarantee and are non-refundable, no exceptions.

Guaranteed livestock determined to have arrived DOA, will be credited or replaced. Shipping charges for DOA replacements is the responsibility of the buyer.

At least three (3) clear photographs of DOA livestock in the unopened original shipping bag, with at least one (1) next to the shipping label, is required to receive credit. One photo must also clearly show the entire bag with the DOA livestock still inside. Photos must be received by TM Aquatics within one hour of package delivery. Email pictures to 550Aquatics@gmail.com.

Additional photos or video may be requested at the sellers discretion. Failure to provide additional photos, if requested, voids the live arrival guarantee.

Late photographs or those depicting fish outside of the shipping bag (e.g. in a bucket or tank; out of water) are not acceptable documentation and will not result in credit/refund.

Opening the shipping bag(s) terminates the live arrival guarantee, and indicates that the livestock was in acceptable condition on arrival. Due to different waters, tank conditions, and levels of knowledge/care, I do not guarantee beyond live arrival.

Additional Store Policy

We reserve the right to postpone shipping due to unfavorable weather conditions.

Sales within the continental 48 US states only; excludes Alaska, Hawaii and Puerto Rico.

International orders are not allowed.

If an order is cancelled prior to shipping, any and all fees collected by Stripe and Get Gills, will be deducted from the total refund amount.

WE SHIP TO THE SHIPPING ADDRESS PROVIDED AT CHECKOUT! PLEASE MAKE SURE IT IS CORRECT BEFORE YOUR ORDER IS PAID FOR. DOA POLICY DOES NOT APPLY ON SHIPMENTS WITH INCORRECT ADDRESSES.

  • Comment: The C Duplicareus , once added to the tank, were full of spunk and vigor and looked high quality. Often, fish go through a period of adjustment after a long transport. But these fish took to my aquarium immediately. A week later, still healthy and active... they're a real testament to Tom's fish husbandry and fishkeeping. They were well-packaged, stable in their boxes, and arrived exactly when Tom said they would. He kept me informed of the entire process, too. Outstanding overall!

  • Comment: June 2022 - Ordered Leopard Frog Plecos. Just received them all in great condition, each individually double bagged, plus double boxed. Very good packing. These L134's are twice the size that I expected! Very happy with these rare pleco's! My only wish was that I had ordered the larger box and bought more! Thanks! Highly recommend!

  • Comment: Tom is a great seller. He advised the shipping info. This morning he emailed me and said he was concerned it was going to be hot in Bakersfield (104F). I told him not to worry. He was all concerned. He went ahead and said if the shipment was not satisfactory, he will make another shipment. The corydoras arrived in great condition. Thanks Tom, I will buy from you again.

  • Comment: I wasn't sure if I should leave multiple reviews, especially one after the other, but I will say that I loved the Corydoras so much from the first order that I had to do it twice, back to back. Exceptional service! Exceptional fish!
