Love these beauties!

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.

Mixed medaka

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.
