si_sphinx Posted December 14, 2009 Report Share Posted December 14, 2009 Is it possible to get insurance on fish? say if a heater fails and all your fish die...? or if power goes off and temp drops too low...? or if a tank breaks and they die on your carpet cos your not home. (i'm at work 8am-5pm) I know you can get pet insurance for cats and dogs but is fish covered somehow for any reason at all? Fish are pets too.

Barrie Posted December 14, 2009 Report Share Posted December 14, 2009 you can get insurance for anything.... the cost of it is another story Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phoenix44 Posted December 14, 2009 Report Share Posted December 14, 2009 not on fish in NZ. unless you are a registered company and pay for freight insurance, or insurance for loss on income. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

diver21 Posted December 14, 2009 Report Share Posted December 14, 2009 and my insurance covers me if a tanks too heavy and falls through the floor of the house im renting Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
si_sphinx Posted December 14, 2009 Author Report Share Posted December 14, 2009 I have insurance on my tanks and filters breaking, falling over, being dropped when moving :oops: etc which im always careful not to as easier to avoid accidents than go through all the crap just to get a tank replaced. but always woundered about the fish, i guess its not possible and its a risk everyone takes keeping expensive or mass amounts of costly fish.

SamH Posted December 14, 2009 Report Share Posted December 14, 2009 I'd imagine there's insurance for 40k aro's and 250k Koi etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barrie Posted December 14, 2009 Report Share Posted December 14, 2009 as said earlier, you can insure anything, its the cost that is important Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
