Where To Buy Goldfish Online.

Is 2 days (48 hours) too long for a goldfish to ship?

  • Yes, that's a bit far I recommend you find a closer seller.

  • No, I don't think so, you should keep buying fish from the seller you like.

Hi! I'm looking for places to buy high quality fancy goldfish online! I was wondering if distance creates a big issue. I usually order my goldfish from King Koi Goldfish. I live in ME and they're located in CA so it takes 2 days for the fish to arrive. My most recent batch of goldfish from them came with lots of issues, like raised scales and floating problems. It might have just been that box had been handled very roughly. I've gotten other fish from them and they arrived safely. I'd love to keep getting fish from them but I wanted to know if the distance is too hard on the goldies. I also recently ordered a fish from another further away seller and this fish arrived with terrible damage and ended up passing away. I would love some suggestions on sellers closer to Maine. Let me know if you don't think 2 days is terribly hard on the fish. Because I would love to keep buying from King Koi and Goldfish. (I've been meaning to buy from East Coast Ranchu because they are closer. I do, however like King Koi and Goldfish because of the better deals.) Also lastly, if anyone is selling goldies and are closer to me than California I would like to see what you have available!! I keep over 500 gallons of fancy Goldfish paradise and I'm a water change fanatic.

2 Day shipping should be fine on most goldfish but 1 day shipping is safer, for obvious reasons.

Some good online sellers are:
Zhao's Fancies
East Coast Ranchu
Dandy Orandas

Zhao's fish are of amazing health and quality. You can buy discounted groups of fish so I suggest you check them out.
ECR can be pricey as well but they also sell discounted bundles and their fish are extremely healthy, US bred.
Dandy Orandas has a great quarantine system for their fish including microscopy and multiple stages of treatments, so you can get a healthy and beautiful fish.

I understand that these places are probably on the more expensive side but, you get what you pay for.

Thank you for the reply! I've bought fish from Zhao's fancies. Some of the best fish I've owned. I'm glad that 2 days should be alright. As I do love King Koi and Goldfish!

I know someone who has gorgeous fry of Zhao's stock rn for very cheap selling and shipping prices (around $30 including fish and shipping). Let me know if you would like her contact info.

or @femalefishkeeper on Instagram.
These are an example of some of the fish for sale. The parent fish are stunners.
I believe a handful have been sold but there’s more coming, either way I recommend you contact her asap so you can reserve the ones you want.
