Modern Aquarium

I ordered a BUNCH of plants from Modern Aquarium with my first time using them and I was so satisfied! Although there were a couple minute issues (as to be expected shipping live plants and snails), they very quickly responded to my emails and refunded me the full amount for those products. The rest of the order was so great that I re-ordered the other ones because they are a great company. I will definitely recommend them to others and will be using them in the future.

We bought plenty of plants from here and most were in good shape. They're doing well as of now and the fishies really seem happy. They delivered everything in a timely manner which I appreciated. They even allowed us to return one of the products that we ordered incorrectly. Thanks guys.

Great experience buying here! Arrived fast and full of color. Followed instructions given in shipment confirmation and all is well 1 week in. Definitely doing business with them once these plants fill out.

I’ve gotten plants and snails from these guys ,I have absolutely no complaints. The plants are growing great. I’ve already taken cuttings from them and started more. And the snails arrived alive and healthy. I have no problem ordering from these guys.The first three pictures are from just a couple days ago. The fourth picture is just after I planted. As you can see I have no complaints

Outstanding customer service and products. I ordered live plants and 15#s of aquarium rocks, and the plants arrived and were amazingly healthy and big, and loved them. The rocks got stuck in NY with USPS and never arrived but Modern Aquarium took care of the problem without hassle and sent me another order. They are great to work with and have me as a customer!

Ok, so I was skeptical but bought two underwater dwarf lilies. They came very well packaged, great health and condition. The price was great too. I must say, I think they are more like Jack and The Beanstalk plants because these things are flourishing. They have grown so much in just a couple of weeks it’s nuts. I will definitely order more from Modern Aquarium.

I love this company! I was a little hesitant ordering online , with concerns about fish , snails, and plants surviving shipping. But communication was so good , and all my questions and concerns answered , I thought I would give this a try. Pet shops are so limited , with fish,snails and plants , looking unhealthy. The only problem I have had, is Fed Ex throwing my orders over my fence instead of handing them to me. Irritating. But I reported this to Modern Aquarium, and the seller was quick to refund me for 1 fish who didn't survive that. My snails are so much prettier than my photos show, and I now have baby snails! My little cat fish are so cute and happy. My plants are gorgeous. I also ordered beautiful drift wood. I definitely recommend Modern Aquarium, and I will continue to order from them🙂.

I really enjoy doing business with Modern Aquarium! They have a great variety of beautiful plants that even beginners can enjoy. I have ordered several times from them and will continue to do so when I need more plants. Their customer service is tip-top and their website is easy to use!

I purchased 5tiger eye Bertie snails and 5assorted mystery snails. Both batches arrived together and all snails alive as guaranteed. Merited we’re dropped right in and started working all are still alive and well now a week n a half later. The mystery snails were a bit slow to come out of the shells but with some yummy food they came out at night and by morning all in different places and food gone but back in the shells. Now a week n a half later I only have three as two have passed away but I’m not too upset about it as I still have the 3 and they’re young so they have time to breed and replace the lost ones..not to mention for them to have been shipped I can’t complain about the great pricing. thanks so much modern aquarium!!!

I have bought tons of plants for my tanks and have been disappointed..but I took a chance and ordered from modern aquarium...and I was totally in awe when I received my plants they were vibrant and healthy and actually are growing which I never experienced before..when I buy plants else where they die or they fall apart..I will definitely be ordering more...they don't give you sprigs of plants you get nice bushy healthy plants...and I thank you guys for standing behind your word...my tanks are healthier and clearer..

Customer Support at Modern Aquarium is fantastic. I had an issue with a recent order and Modern Aquarium promptly addressed the matter to my satisfaction. Professional, responsive and communicative. Great!

I have ordered aquarium plants from at least 5 other on line vendors and Modern Aquarium has the cleanest, healthiest, largest specimens! I am so happy that I gave them a try! Even in our scorching hot desert temperatures the plants were in g
Perfect shape when they arrived

I just wanted to leave a little review and could not find where.
My little Anubias Nana Petite on Lava Rock arrived today in perfect condition. It’s in my little Betta Tank and I’ve included photos for you to share. It’s a little stirred up from me putting it in there. You can see my beautiful male Betta but he don’t have a name. I can’t think of one. I will eventually.
Thank you for a great little plant on the rock.

Ordered the 24 Plant Package am very happy with the diversity I received and for the price of ~$3/plant I would highly recommend! The 24 pack was perfect for my 55 gallon and most of the plants have completely filled in or already grown to the top of the tank after only two weeks. You may receive different species from packages (dependent on availability), but check out the pictures of my tank pre-planted, planted and 1-week post-planting. I would highly recommend and will order from Modern Aquarium in the future.

The plants were well packaged. They arrived vibrant green and healthy. Definitely ordering from here again

Ordered red root floater for my large tank and it was better than the picture! Very healthy plants with great red roots. Just ordered a variety of plants for my new nano tank.

I ordered some red root floaters and they are great. New to this floating plant and from others that told me about it so I thought I'd give it a go. I received a cup full of them. the roots were very long and the plants had little flowers on them already. I have shrimp and i heard that they are perfect for a shrimp tank and fry to hide in. I put them in 5 of my tanks when the lights were off so as not make the fish think they were being fed. With the roots being long, LOL..it funny to watch the fish look at them and be like what are those! Can't wait for them to get established and grow more on their own.

I’ve purchased many times from Modern Aquarium. They have stellar customer service. I highly recommend their plants and snails.

I have had aquariums since the 1970's but never never had much luck with live plants. My 36 gallon bow front with typical topicals (Mollies, Tetras, etc.) was OK with some hardier plants, but my 65 gallon tank with Discus grew lots of algae and killed off pretty much every live plant . . .. I knew using RO water for the Discus tank was a likely cause. I stumbled upon the Modern Aquarium website and noticed their storefront was less than 30 minutes away. I called and they made it clear that, while I was welcome, all of their plants were shipped from Florida.

I took the drive and had to be buzzed in. Small shop with some tanks stocked with fish and snails. Various shelves with treatments and equipment. Most of the action appeared to be in the rear of the premises for their online business. But the guy who let me in spent a good 30 minutes discussing water chemistry, substrates, treatments/fertilizers, etc. He made multiple recommendations without any pressure to buy from them. I left with some Netrite snails, a bottle of liquid fertilizer and a ton of advice.

I ended up changing out my old glass gravel for a more plant friendly substrate and using the liquid fertilizer. Positive results with my existing unhealthy plants were apparent over a two week period. Also, the snails did a great job cleaning virtually every surface of the aquarium.

I then happily ordered some plants, more snails and wave scissors from Modern Aquarium over the Labor Day weekend. The scissors arrived that Wednesday and the plants by FedEx two day shipping on Friday. Everything was in good shape. The Wisteria were just shoots with no roots and were very curved. But I weighted them down and within 36 hours they were straightened up and have been reaching for the sky. The Tiger Lotus and Cryptocoryne Wendtii Green are also thriving.

So, unlike some other reviews here, I was very pleased with their customer service both in person and via mail order. I'll be back.

Extremely happy with every purchase I've made. I have bought plants three separate times and they are all healthy and thriving in my tanks.

I look forward to future tanks so I can continue to order more plants.
