At Goldfish Fanatics, the health and well-being of our goldfish is our top priority. Each goldfish undergoes a thorough quarantine process in our facility, and we recommend continuing this process once you receive them.

Our goldfish are fasted for 3 days before shipping to ensure safe travel. Deliveries are conducted through UPS Next Day Air or FedEx Overnight services.

Carriers no longer guarantee this, and delivery may extend until the end of the day.

Order placed on Goldfish Fanatics can not be combined with order you placed on Jimmy Goldfish or Kentafeed. Keeping them separated would best for the well-being of each kind of fishes.
