    Almost everything I've gotten from you guys comes bigger than expected and much more affordable than other places I've shopped online and in person. Your sales have helped me dip my toes in even on a fixed income, keep up the good work!

    Many items I got from Aquarium Depot are growing so well in the tank like the photos. Some of them are getting too big so I’ve started to frag them and give them away.

What’s your most popular product?
Our top-selling product is our Live Amphipod Pack, available in three biomass-based sizes (SM, MD, and LG). Pod numbers vary naturally based on age distribution, seasonal maturation, and density within each harvested portion. All amphipods are collected, inspected, and shipped alive.

Approved claims are issued as store credit to your AquariumDepot.com account. 
What are your shipping policies?

We ship live fish food on Mondays by overnight delivery. An order placed after the weekly cutoff is scheduled for a later Monday shipment; it will not ship the next business day.

Shipping rates

  • $29.99 overnight shipping on orders under $149
