Fast delivery and healthy fish!
These fish are so beautiful! After drip acclimating they adapted really well to the tank and get along amongst themselves and with the others. So pleased, thank you!
Lovely pair, healthy and nicely coloured. Can recommend and will purchase more!
Very healthy and arrived in perfect condition
I purchased a female for an existing male I had. She arrived very healthy but to my inexperienced eyes very small as I assumed she was a juvie...a week later she turned Simpsons Yellow and 2 weeks after that I have healthy fry!? A few ingredients that made this happen but a key component was quality bred stock from Mats and team BWA, thx again guys!
