Beautiful fish

Beautiful fish, who came healthy and were true to the size ordered. I ordered 3 fish and only 2 came. They immediately refunded me. I I was definitely bummed out that I didn’t get that particular fish that I was really looking forward to but, I understand things happen. The packaging was very good and the website was easy to maneuver through. I’d like to order through them again!

My star sapphire

My fish arrived alive and looking healthy. It’s been 2 weeks now that I’ve had him and he’s doing great. No complaints about the service or the shipping. I would recommend this shop if you’re looking for fish.
