Unlike manufactured products, fish and shrimp continue to grow and develop over time. Their value changes as they increase in size, develop colour, or become breeding pairs.
Our prices are based on the current size, quality and availability of each specimen. While pricing often remains stable for around 3–4 months, it may be updated at any time to reflect these changes.
We always aim to offer healthy, high-quality livestock at fair and competitive prices.
Do you offer a live arrival guarantee?
Yes. All livestock is covered by our Live Arrival Guarantee.
In the rare event of DOA, please contact us promptly with clear photos of the livestock in the original unopened bag.
Please review our full DOA and store policies before purchase.
Can you ship to all states in Australia?
No. Due to state restrictions, we cannot ship livestock or live plants to WA and TAS.
What should I check before ordering?
Before placing an order, make sure:
Your tank is fully cycled and stable
Your aquarium has enough space for the species
Your current livestock are compatible in temperament, size, and requirements
Your water parameters, habitat, and temperature suit the species
You are not adding too many fish at once
What should I expect when my fish arrives?
It is normal for fish, shrimp, or snails to look pale, stressed, or less active after shipping.
This is temporary. Most livestock will settle and regain colour within a few days.
How long does it take for fish to settle in?
Most livestock will take 3–7 days to fully adjust to their new environment.
Should I feed my fish immediately after arrival?
No. We recommend waiting 24 hours before feeding to allow them to settle.
If you already have fish in your tank, feeding them before introducing new arrivals can help reduce stress.
Why do fish sometimes struggle after being added to a tank?
In most cases, issues are caused by tank conditions, not shipping.
Uncycled or unstable tanks
Poor water parameters
Overstocking
Unsuitable tank mates
What is Nano Tanks Australia’s main tip for new livestock?
Most livestock losses happen in immature or unstable tanks, not during shipping.
If your setup is not fully established, the risk to new arrivals is significantly higher.
