Rummy Nose Tetra

NOTE: rating is for "customer service". Ordered the last 5 Rummynose Tetras in stock. They arrived timely and well packaged but one was DoA, which was immediately photographed and reported even before opening the bag to begin acclimating the four survivors. "Em" told me that since I ordered 5, there was an additional one also shipped, so the loss was in effect canceled out. Flip has a great reputation for sending additional fish/snails/shrimp in most orders; however, I purchased the entire stock and therefore THERE WERE NO ADDITIONAL RUMMIES! The bag even has the + scribbled out in ink (I sent a pic of this as well). You usually have a huge inventory but currently have dozens of species marked "out of stock"....so maybe don't assume that you have enough of any fish for a plus one....but definitely make good on your live arrival guarantee!

Beautiful and healthy!

Got a dozen, and they sent a few extra :-) Two were struggling on receipt. Did the normal 'drip' acclamation, and lost 4 more. The bigger ones were the ones I lost smaller ones all did fine.
I'd still order these again, but I think only in really good weather.

I ordered 10 rummy nosed tetras. Seven of the fish were dead on arrival. Only one of the 2 remaining survived. I submitted a claim 10 days ago and although accepted, the warranty has not been forthcoming. I have even offered to pick them up in person. The communication through emails has been very cumbersome.

I received the fish in good shape-

I though some of the fish were to small to sell

Love them!

Highly recommend them in a large group if possible.

most colored up immediately in their new home in a moderately planted 90 gallon and the rest of them perked up by the next morning. They're a little skittish, even around gentle corydoras but they become tiny piranha at dinnertime and their tight schooling pattern is delightful!

My order of 20 Rummy Nose arrived within on week in excellent condition. They have remained in good health and actively schooling.

Ordered 6, all but 2 died. Unfortunately, I opened the bag before taking a picture of the 1st dead fish because I could see the others were struggling and didn't want them to die as well. According to the guarantee you have to take a picture in the unopened bag. Another died shortly after, then another, then another. I have 2 healthy fish out of 6 😢.

Fish all arrived alive and healthy. The rummynose tetras went straight to a heavy planted quarantine tank, and by the next morning fish already had their bright red nose back!

3rd order from flip, fully satisfied everytime!
Industry leaders!

You really can’t go wrong ordering from Flip! My rummynose tetras arrived on time and very healthy. I plan on buying lots more as soon as winter is over! In my opinion these are the best schooling fish!

Great Service and wonderful healthy fish. Thanks

Unfortunately, I lost them all on day two. I think my well water is too hard for the Rummynose's as a species 😢😢😢

Rummynose Tetra

I ordered 7 rummy nose and lost 3. The 4 are doing very well

17 Rummies arrived healthy and have been happily schooling back and forth along my planter aquarium. Flip Aquatics exceeded my expectations: customer service & communication has been exemplary; they answered a lot of questions promptly and shipping updates were delivered reliably and my order arrived when it was expected. The product (my Rummynose tetras) arrived strong and healthy. I highly recommend Flip Aquatics and this fish is a joy to watch feeding & schooling behaviors.

Very healthy and full of energy!! Fun watching them stay in their group.

I received 3 healthy fish. They have great color and are eating well. I waited a couple of weeks to leave a review and they are all still alive and well.

I hadn’t been aware of Rummynose Tetra’s when I started to research fish I wanted for my new aquarium. I had aquariums when I was younger, but I had never heard of this fish before. But I am very happy I got them for my new aquarium. They are different looking, and very active and really are the focal point of the tank. The fish I received were all happy and healthy, and after a week or so I haven’t lost any!

We had a bad experience with FA as the Rummy nose we purchased introduced ich in our tank. It was horrible and took 10 days to get it cleared and lost a few fish in the process. Customer Service was super helpful but I hope they have improved the quarantine process.

Fish, Plants, snails and hardgoods ordered from Flip Aquatics are always in great shape and healthy when they arrive. I have had next to no losses of fish, even when shipped in the dead of winter. I have purchased over 60 fish with only 1 death a few days after receipt.

Amazing!

The fish adapted quickly. There are 4 fish and a snail in an 8 gallon tank -all species living together peacefully

This is a replacement, my order was damaged in shipping and the fish were DOA. I immediately took pictures and followed the instructions on the website and I am happy to say that the fish were completely covered and I now have a school of healthy rummynose. BTW, they are much more colorful than the photo on their description.

I’ve had trouble with other online vendors selling rummynose’s. Until now, I’ve experienced a 25% survival rate. When I saw Flip had them in stock I knew I had to give them a try. I bought 10, they sent me 12 all alive on arrival with one passing overnight. Still, 11 when I ordered 10. A week later and I have more healthy rummy’s than I know what to do with. Great job, as always. Thanks Flip Aquatics, you really know your stuff!
