Frequently Asked Questions

Do you provide 24-hour emergency aquarium service?

FishGuys Members receive access to after-hours and holiday emergency support. Pay-as-you-go clients may receive emergency assistance when availability allows, but emergency access is not reserved.

Response time and whether phone support or an onsite visit is needed depend on the problem, location, and technician availability.

Is emergency service included with Membership?

Emergency access, priority response, and discounted emergency rates are Membership benefits. Emergency labor, visits, equipment, livestock, supplies, and other costs are billed separately unless stated otherwise in the signed agreement.

What should I do while waiting for help?

Call FishGuys and provide photos or videos of the aquarium and equipment. Avoid adding several chemicals or making major changes unless instructed, because aggressive corrections can sometimes make the problem worse.
