LOVE HIM!

So very alien looking in all the coolest ways, and yet he just..chills with my shrimp and Khuli Loaches, even allowing my orange ones, who are the only ones to pick up this habit so far, to land on and give him a spa treatment. Thinking of possibly getting another 1 or 2, after I do some research. Would definitely recommend if you want a chill partner in your 'cleanup crew'.

I had been looking for a different algae eater to put in my two tanks, we'll when I saw an advertisement from prime time aquatics that you had lizard tail catfish I jumped at it. It was my first time ordering fish that were unseen and online I also ordered some other fish, they all came in great condition. I put two in each tank and there doing great. They are darker in color so their a little harder to see right now, but all are doing good and very nice looking. Thank you so much for the great service, I really was uncertain of the condition they would come in and how long they would make it. This turned out better then if I would have bought them at one of the stores that I go to. I also like to thank prime time aquatics for the heads up.

Red Whiptail Catfish are Amazing!

I am very pleased with my red whiptail catfish, I am surprise to see them out as much as I do. They appear to be very healthy I cannot wait to put them in their permanent homes.

Great service.

My order arrived in great shape my fish were well packed, and there were no casualties. They even added a few extra fish to my order I will definitely order from them again.
