About PREDATORY FINS

Predatory Fins in Copiague, New York has built a reputation that extends far beyond Long Island — this is a store that ships live blacktip reef sharks cross-country and has customers in California and Arizona singing their praises. Run by Rod, Kevin, and the rest of the PF team, the operation specializes in the kind of fish most stores won't touch: MBU puffers, cross river puffers, stingrays, tiger shovelnose redtail catfish, silver arowanas, datnoids, and monster predatory species sourced from Asia, Africa, and South America. The packaging game here is genuinely remarkable.

Customers consistently report fish arriving healthy and alert after cross-country journeys, with heat pads still warm on arrival. One customer received a live blacktip reef shark — a requiem shark — shipped in a humungous custom box, and it was eating by its second day home. That's not just logistics; that's an art form.

The freshwater rare species selection is where Predatory Fins truly shines. L014 plecos, spotted Congo puffers, Amazon puffers, Geophagus sveni, African rope fish, pike cichlids — these aren't your average pet store offerings. One longtime hobbyist with 50 years in the hobby and a 10-foot tank credits Predatory Fins with stocking his ultra-exotic collection and providing expert guidance along the way.

Their YouTube channel has cultivated a dedicated fanbase, and many customers mention watching Rod and FayJay's content before making their first purchase. That transparency builds trust, which matters when you're spending serious money on select-grade fish and rare morphs. There are occasional hiccups — one customer reported a missing order that wasn't resolved, and pike availability has been inconsistent.

But the overwhelming consensus across hundreds of reviews is that Predatory Fins delivers exactly what monster fish keepers and rare species collectors need: healthy specimens, expert knowledge, and packaging that can survive any distance. If your tank demands something extraordinary, Copiague is where you look.

Predatory Fins goes above and beyond for their customers and the fish. I ended up in the hospital when my shipment was supposed to be made. I contacted them and they held onto my turtle for me until I recovered and was able to receive my turtle. They really do treat you like family. 15/10 would recommend

Great customer support. The fish were very well packaged and the heat pads were still warm when the fish arrived. All of the fish appear to be healthy.

I ordered a Spotted Cong Puffer from Predatory Fins on the 23rd of Decemeber. The little guy was shipped on the 29th and received on the 30th. He came to me in Californa in great condition. Looks healthy especially for the trip he made! I'm super happy with the condition that he is in when he got to me! I couldn't be happier with going through Predatory Fins for our new friend! Thank you so much to everyone who helped him get to me!

I lost my Facebook, but wanted to make sure Rod and FayJay, and all the fine folks at Predatory Fins didn’t lose their review. From Predatory Fins, I purchased my dream monster fish, a blacktip reef shark. I put so much planning into this, and had so many questions for Rod, which he was always kind and answered them all. I was nervous about such an endeavor and was very particular about who I would buy from. He went above and beyond working with me until I was ready to pull the trigger, and we arranged a deal for me to get my dream blacktip shark. It’s time to ship my shark. I pickup my shark, and get it home. I was in such a panic driving back, both from sheer happiness, excitement, and anxiety. I finally arrive home and get the box in front of my shark tank. Inside the humungous box they shipped me, I see a BEAUTIFUL, HEALTHY, baby blacktip reef shark. I was literally like a little kid on Christmas as this has been my dream fish my entire life. The shark ate on his second day here, and I can’t express how impressed I was by Predatory Fins ability to successfully pack and ship a requiem shark and get it to me in such excellent condition. They packed my shark perfectly, I don’t think it could have been done better. With that being said, if they can ship me a healthy and beautiful reef shark, then you can surely trust them with ANYTHING you could possibly need. I can’t recommend them highly enough. I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, I’ll NEVER buy another shark from a U.S. supplier other than Predatory Fins. Thank you guys for getting me my dream monster fish, keeping me and my wife entertained on YouTube who we watch almost every evening, and for being awesome people. I will be back for a second blacktip reef someday. Thanks again, David

Placed an order through predatory fins for a pike and 3 plecos only received one pleco and tried to contact them and basically said that they did send them and refused to correct order or refund me and then just stopped replying. Don’t order from them.

These guys are stellar fish suppliers, just bought 2 Tiger Shovelnose Redtail Catfish, and only 14 hours later both are comfortable enough to gulp a couple of my feeder minnows! Couldnt be happier with their packing and both were very healthy looking! Edit 10/30 Unfortunately their selection is lacking, apparently all their pikes are out of stock and have been for a hot minute

My large 10 foot tank is functioning because of the Help I received at Predatory Fins. I have bought the most amazing fish over the years there. I won’t list them all but … 3 cross river puffer fish; a sting-ray; 2 MBU puffers and so many more. They are the best source for Ultra Exotics such as the cross river puffer. They’re also the best source for expert knowledge. Whether it’s Rod or Kevin … over the years I’ve been steered the right way So that I’m able to enjoy the hobby with their help. I highly recommend them. I am recommending them now because as a business owner, trust me, people always go onto the Internet for negative stuff. it happens to me at my business and good customers forget to go to the internet And report the good stuff. I consider myself one of their very good customers and I’m here to report they are the best. I hope people listen to this I took time to write it and I really like this place . I’ve been at this hobby 50 years almost
