1 Nwt  · I had a couple of missing items from my order...
1 Simon Siong Hua T.  · Worst seller, send emersed plant instead of submersed, very small quantities and very poor quality
1 mcik  · If I could rate it 0 I would. Absolutely terrible quality DO NOT BUY FROM THEM!!
1 Enris  · Not all of the order came, customer service not replying anymore
1 Kira K.  · Don’t buy plants – Don’t recommend, especially for plants. Unhealthy plants! Bought from another store and the plant was in perfect condition.
1 Edmond K.  · Don’t trust these guys – Do not trust these guys. They will send the wrong flowers and lie. Going through consumer affairs

I needed more plants for my pond so thought I would give them a go, one good thing is the plants were delivered quickly. But the plants described were not what I got or were so small the fish ate them straight away. Also whomever writes the page needs to learn proper English or at least use a spell checker and grammar tool.

Avoid at all costs! I have been a customer for over a year. They bush league to say the least, plants come in sandwich bags, shrimp come in plastic bags in a take away container. Once a delivery was taking too long, so I asked to pick it up. Refuse to refund shipping. Sold me plants with Damsels fly eggs/nymphs in them that wiped out 90% of my… Read more

colony. Recently ordered 10 Bloody Mary’s and 6 Blue Cherry shrimp, no blue shrimp were delivered. Emailed them about it immediately, they didn’t answer til the following day. They wanted a video of me opening the delivery, I said I couldn’t go back in time. Sent them a video of my tank, with only the reds in it and my existing shrimp (1 blue). Refused to resupply or refund.

Placed order well over a week ago, received a notice that the order was dispatched 4 days ago with a tracking number for Australia Post - Surprise! Tracking number has sat at pending for the last 4 days. Have tried contacting Aquafy but they don't have a phone number, have sent an email and tried contacting them through their store chat room but… Read more

have had zero response! Looks like I have done my $236.12 on plants for my aquarium. After reading all these reviews, I think I'm happy not to receive the plants as I would hate to introduce any problems into my tank. P*ssed off about the money though!

Unhealthy fish. Do NOT buy AquaSnax Premium Veggie Pellets For Shrimp And Herbivore Fish. It's just overpriced repacked rabbit food. Ingredients EXACTLY WORD FOR WORD the same as Peters Rabbit & Guinea Pig Pellets Lucerne Flavour, you can check here:… Read more

Orange cherry shrimp very low grade for the price. Very transparent and dull, not like pictured. Fish were thin and sickly, but at least without any visible illness. Disappointing. Buy elsewhere. On the shipping package it didn't say fragile or anything so who knows if it was thrown around or not, so stuff might come dead or damaged.

Plants arrived dead or rotten – Order arrived 2 weeks after postage and plants were either dead or rotten, were just put into zip lock bags with no form of preserving them. Have contacted them numerous times and I've had no responce for either a refund or replacement??

Wish there were negative stars , wish I'd read reviews before purchasing. DO NOT waste your money. Ordered quite a few plants but didn't receive the most expensive of them. Sent 2 emails & finally got a response via website but still haven't received replacement after 7 days.

 Follow-up  · We paid for plants we & did not receive. We asked for replacements or a refund, he lied & said 2nd lot of plants were sent but when I asked for tracking number he gave me the original one. I have sent quite a few requests & he has stopped responding. Very rude & worst customer service we just want what we paid for.

Happy – Have made 2 seperate purchases from aquafy in the last couple months. The first was a small plant order. The second was a larger order of plants, fish, shrimp, plant food, substrate, etc. I agree with other posts that it would be helpful if the plants were labelled, but the plants themselves were in good condition and a free plant ID app helped me… Read more

sort out what was what. My fish arrived healthy and live. The shrimp did not all arrive live, but I followed the procedure for DOA and owner was willing to refund for the DOA no problems. Would purchase here again

FAST DELIVERY AND HEALTHY PLANTS – FAST DELIVERY AND HEALTHY PLANTS I'm not going to lie, I hesitated to order based on other reviews, but I just took a chance and so glad I did!! plants arrived quickly and were still healthy. I'd definitely order from them again!

Couldn't be happier – I received my order today and couldn't be happier. The plants were in excellent health and so were the snails. I was a bit concerned as I read the reviews after I had ordered, however the order was packed in a very cute little polystyrene box and arrived quickly. I will definitely be buying more from Aquafy.

These guys are a rip off, they have a scam of UPSELL.COM. Which fools you into additional sales thinking you are paying for the original order. Further they do not reply or respond to emails requesting cancelation or refund of unwanted UPSELL.COM items. Will never use them again. Alswo claimed they shipped the items including the unwanted items on Easter Sunday by Aus Post. Just liars.

Appallingly! I bought 3 x Myriophyllum "Parrots Feather" at $8 each = $24 + $12 postage. What arrived was a small, 1/4 full, zip lock bag with a sprig of 7 stems. Barely above what they said was 1 bunch let alone 3. Clearly they do not care about their customers. Anyone preparing this $36 order, would look at that bag and know it's a complete rip off. My advice is don't buy from them, find your nearest local pet shop.

I wish I check the reviews before I purchase anything form this place. Quality doesn’t exist and customer service is something that this place doesn’t understand. This is Monte Carlo :(

Shocking prices for quality/quantity provided. $120 resulted in 4 small clip-seal bags with tiny cuttings of a few different plants. Over a week to post. This business cannot be legit. Steer clear!!

AQUAFY appears to be a small-scale operation, possibly run from a backyard or garage, with a few glass tanks. The business is registered with an ABN and has online contact details. However, there are several concerns: Contact & Customer Service There is no phone number provided for direct contact. No physical address is listed. Emails and… Read more

live chat messages are usually answered late in the evening.

When negative feedback is raised, no explanations or clarifications are provided.

Business Ethics & Transparency Based on my experience, there seems to be little regard for customer feedback. Despite many negative comments from customers, the business continues to operate without addressing concerns or improving transparency.

My Order Experience I placed an order worth approximately AUD 150. The entire order was small enough to fit into my letterbox.

All live plants were packed in zip-lock bags with roughly a tablespoon of water.

Duckweed consisted of what looked like a tablespoon of sesame-seed-sized fragments.

The “assorted lily” had no rhizome and looked like kidney weed. Must be a wild lily as the

leave stem reached the water surface. Red Root Floaters consisted of only two leaves with minimal roots.

Most other plants were merely cuttings with no established roots.

Value for Money In my opinion, the products received were not worth the price paid.

Complaints & Fair Trading While the experience was disappointing, a formal complaint may not succeed because the product descriptions are vague and non-specific.

Will I Purchase Again? No. I would not buy from this seller again.

Ordered Ludwigia Pantanal, and was sent Ludwigia Cuba. Contacted seller, provided photos, and was told that the plant was L. Pantanal. That's it, no more contact from seller after several attempts to have the issue resolved. I already have Ludwigia Cuba growing in my tank, and I've grown Pantanal before, so I know what it's supposed to look like. Very disappointed. Don't shop with this business. Be warned ⚠️

NEVER AGAIN WILL I ORDER FROM HERE. Package was delayed, contacted them concerned my plants would be damaged and was told I would receive a full refund if anything was damaged. Received order and there was missing items, but also only 1 & 1/3 items out of 11 were okay, the other 9 & 2/3 were dead/rotting. Sent proof, he argued and would not… Read more

refund, i quoted the policy "if 70% of live stock is damaged a full refund is issued" and he stopped replying. Had to go through bank to get a refund. Very rude, and im so dissapointed.

Website is either broken, or an intentional scam. Adding up all items in my cart separately was $88, but the total said $98. Go into checkout and it now says the cart is worth $107. Add shipping brings us to $117, lucky I had a $10 discount code which somehow INCREASED the price again? I ultimately decided I was not risking anything with this… Read more

website. Oh also I refreshed the page and the total change twice (to lower numbers, but still nowhere near accurate)

Purchased shrimp amongst other things on 8/9/2025 didn’t receive my package for 8 days. Contacted on 15/9/25 to be told it was sent on the 15th. Was also express post but nothing about this purchase was express! I think they is hard pressed getting out of bed. Communication was atrocious too! You don’t communicate with a customer by saying yep! BUYERS BEWARE!

Do NOT BUY FROM THIS shop or their EBAY store, they are scammers that send partial products that are not as advertised. Products listed as new are NOT, they will come ripped, banged up, missing pieces and they are not even the products being advertised, they are knock off's that haven't been made correctly at all. Plants come dead and dried up in… Read more

ziploc bags. Seller just wants you to return item so they can scam others again but will not give refunds for returns.

AVOID AT ALL COSTS I am yet another person who fell victim to not checking the reviews prior to purchase. Missing a third of my order. No response to emails after mentioning missing items and asking for a refund rather than waiting on replacement items.

So.... Expect a lot less than pictured. The titles and photos are very misleading, the packaged plants are in small sandwich bags and are significantly smaller than pictured online. You will not be getting your moneys worth

Would use for certain items, not others – Ordered three marimo moss balls, a 10-15 cm Java Fern and Scuds (live fish food) for my pufferfish. The marimo moss balls were all in good condition, and all the scuds arrived alive and swimming around. My one dissapointment was the Java Fern, which was a lot smaller than anticipated, and came with only three leaves (one dropped off after pulling… Read more

it out of the snaplock bag). Overall I'm happy with a majority of the purchase, but like other reviewers, would steer clear of purchasing certain plants from here.

saying they are preparing to ship my post. WOW SO HORRIBLE. Even if my order comes which i dont give a f about, i wont return it as i didnt even want the order and wanted to cancel it. 29.96 bucks wasted and im still ongoing with my case. Hopefully they get my dispute and refund it. I heard a lot of the comments saying the product comes either dead, snail infested or damaged. I already bought other good plants in another website so i will probably be throwing these plants away. I dont f care about these once again, all i want is my wasted money back! If you sellers see this comment, read your f messages, emails and reply to them, otherwise i will make this a big case!
