Important Winter Shipping Notice
This ongoing nationwide cold snap has caused major shipping disruptions, so we are currently scheduling orders about two weeks in advance. You’re absolutely welcome to order now—this helps lock in availability for the fish you’re looking for.
Your fish are carefully packed and sent the night before your chosen delivery date, traveling just 12–14 hours overnight to minimize stress and ensure safe arrival.
Advanced scheduling allows us to work around severe weather and deliver the healthiest fish possible.

Welcome to Live Fish Direct where you have the unique opportunity to buy Live African Cichlids and other Freshwater Tropical Aquarium Fish direct from the source, where retailers across the United States order from. We have experienced aquarium fish breeders with the main focus on African Cichlids, particularly Lake Malawi Cichlids. While this is the bread and butter of our business we have expanded into breeding all types of Cichlids including Victorian and Tanganyikan Cichlids. We also carry a continually changing selection of other popular freshwater fish including catfish, plecos and several others that are compatible with African cichlids
