We’ve shipped out some truly rare fish over the past couple of days. While it’s always a little sad to see them go, we’re equally happy knowing they’re heading to excellent homes.
The term “rare” gets thrown around a lot, but at AQT, we define it based on three key factors: true availability, longevity in captivity, and the complexity of the collection process required to get them to us.
For all our rare and less common species, we hold them for a minimum of 5–6 weeks before shipping. This isn’t just a number—it’s our standard to ensure you’re getting a fish that is fully acclimated, eating well, disease-free, and ready to thrive in its new home.
What Sets AQT Apart
TRANSPARENCY
We don’t just talk about quality—we show it:
• Videos during quarantine
• Videos in medication- free system
• Videos of the fish eating
• Packing videos prior to shipping
• WYSIWYG video proof
ACCOUNTABILITY
We stand behind every fish we ship:
• Committed to providing healthy, conditioned fish
• Maintain disease-free, unmedicated systems
• 72-hour stay-alive policy once the fish is in your care
• Rare fish are held 5–6 weeks before shipping, in lieu of our 72 hour stay-alive policy
• Dedicated to sustainable practices
If you’re buying a fish that’s been medicated with copper and fomalin using the term Fully QTed, this is no different than buying from any store running copper continuously.
Low-dose copper systems often mask issues rather than treat them, and prolonged exposure to high copper levels is toxic. Don’t be misled.
If a system was truly disease-free, it wouldn’t need copper or formalin at all. So, the question is—if the fish is coming from a medicated system, can you really call it disease-free?
Don’t risk it 🤥🤥🤥.
