What to Expect
When you choose us for your fish delivery needs, you can expect a hassle-free experience. Our driver will meet you at the agreed-upon location and time, and our team will take care of everything else. We’ll check the water temperature and gradually adjust it using our tempering pump if necessary, to prevent thermal shock or stress on the fish. This attention to detail ensures that your fish are delivered in the best possible condition.
We understand that the process of stocking fish into your lake or pond can be daunting, but you don’t have to worry about a thing. Our experienced team will carefully release the fish into their new environment, ensuring a smooth and stress-free transition. Whether we use the chute method or hand-carry the fish in a tub, we’ll make sure that the process is tailored to your specific needs.
At Danbury Fish Farms, we’re committed to providing you with fast and reliable fish delivery services for both new and existing ponds.

Frequently asked questions
Here are some of the common questions we get asked about our Fish Delivery service and answers to those questions. If you don't find answers to your questions here, please don't hesitate to reach out to us directly! We'd love to hear from you!
Contact usI don’t think your hauling truck will be able to get close enough to my pond to dump the fish in. What should we do?
If you foresee any issues with our truck accessing your pond, please let us know immediately so we can plan accordingly. Though we typically overcome access problems, we may need to manually transport the fish in tubs from the truck to the water if we ultimately cannot get close enough. While more labor intensive for us, ensuring a smooth, successful fish delivery is our top priority. With open communication about potential access difficulties, we can work together to get your new fish into your pond stress-free.
When my fish are delivered, how can I be sure I am getting the quantity I paid for?
We understand the difficulty of estimating quantity when fish are piped into a pond. To ensure you receive the full amount paid for, we recommend inspecting the fish with the driver before stocking. This allows you to visually confirm numbers, putting your mind at ease. Contact management with any questions or concerns before signing the invoice and releasing the fish. As a policy, we commit to resolving any issues to customers’ satisfaction – but disputes become harder to settle once fish are already in the water. With open communication beforehand, we can work with you to verify quantity and provide the excellent service you expect.
What steps do you take to ensure the quality of your fish and prevent delayed mortality?
Preventing delayed mortality and ensuring top-notch fish quality is our utmost priority. We carefully seine fish from our freshwater lakes and transport them to holding tanks, where they are closely monitored, graded, and treated. For pick-up customers, our specialized Live-Pak system minimizes stress during transport from our facility to your pond. For delivery customers, we transfer fish to oxygenated tanks on our trucks just prior to shipment. With 50+ years perfecting processes, we take every precaution to safeguard fish health at all stages – seine, transfer, holding and transport. Our rigorously refined methods allow us to deliver vigorous, healthy fish ready to thrive.
