- Report DOA within 24 hours of delivery with unboxing video/photos and order details.
- Fish must be shown in the original sealed packing when possible.
- Approved DOA claims may receive replacement fish (subject to stock), store credit, or refund.
- Losses after successful acclimation due to water quality, aggression, disease from existing stock, or incorrect tank conditions are not covered.
