Customer reviews
Why customers trust us
The most useful measure of the farm is what happens after the box arrives. These excerpts come from Google reviews by Live Fish Direct customers.
"I have fish I purchased from Live Fish Direct that are pushing 10 years old!"
"Over the years, I have purchased more than 100 fish from them, and the males always develop incredible colors."
"I've ordered several times from Josh and Lora, and will order from them again. They truly care about the fish they raise and sell."
"All of the fish I've gotten from you have been in wonderful shape. Individually packed and size was exactly what they said."
"The size, color and overall quality exceeded my expectations."
Our origins
The magic is in the water.
The farm began in 1975, when Steve Davis leased the spring-fed property and built the first hatchery system.
Josh and Lora Davis now own and operate Live Fish Direct with help from their four children and the farm crew.
