Beautiful fish, arrived healthy. I have had them in my tank for 2 weeks now and they have already spawned. Very happy with the fish. My only complaint was that the delivery person left them at the front door and did not attempt to contact me and it was a 40 degree day. I only knew they were there because my dog was barking. Otherwise very happy
Blackwater aquariums have done it again with some amazing quality fish, my pair of Borellii Opals arrive happy and healthy, they were feeding well and active in their quarantine tanks within 12 hours, and now after 2 weeks they have fry. These 2 are still young however both show great colour and features. Very happy with this pair
Arrived promptly and safely. Absolutely stunning fish with colours not really seen in local fish store fish.
Very happy with my purchase, my trio came to Qld from Victoria overnight and were in perfect health. Settled in beautifully, stunning fish
