Marine Fish Perfect Health Promise
All marine fish have a Perfect Health Arrival guarantee. For the following reasons, we cannot guarantee beyond that.
A number of different reasons can affect why a marine fish does not settle into its new environment. These range from:
- Unsuitable water conditions: incorrect pH, high ammonia and nitrite levels.
- Tank bullies: some marine fish are very passive and will not mix well with more boisterous tank mates.
- Incorrect tank size: please research the fish you are buying, as some will become stressed in a tank that is too small.
If you have any problems on arrival
Please contact us straight away and we will extend your guarantee until the fish is healthy again. You must call on the arrival day to activate this.
