Fish came as described! Healthy and still going strong after almost 2 weeks! Very active and strong colors!
I ordered 10 fish total and they were all alive when they arrived today and healthy. They were packaged with care and with a great sheet of facts about their current water parameters and recommendations for acclimating them to their new home. Luckily, they are loving their new home—a 30 gallon planted patio pond w/ a bog filter. I have read that these fish can be shy, but my new crew are so playful and curious. I think it goes to show how well they were treated by their breeder.
They all came beautiful and healthy! One fish is already laying eggs and it’s only been a week since I received them!
The rice fish came on time and healthy! Very active and ate right away. The process was a breeze!
Very pleased with this healthy mix. All fish were vigorous and the assortment was beautiful. I'll admit that the cost of shipping really pushed my limit, but that aside, I was overall very happy with my purchase.
