Nice fish

These guys looked a little rough when they first arrived. Some tailfin damage, not much coloration and while well fed they seemed a little shipping stressed so I decided to wait before doing a review. After a week they were looking better, finnage was growing back and they were beginning to show some color. Now after two weeks tailfins have grown back and the coloration is excellent. Over all these are great little fish.

I love these fish. I have them in a species only tank and they are such a joy to watch. All are healthy and thriving.

happy

Fish all arrived healthy, one did have a potential issue on the tail fin, but nothing one round of antibiotics couldnt fish. Beautiful fish. The only reason I gave 4 stars is there was a random mystery fish that arrived with my sparkling gourami that I had to figure out placement for. I didnt ask for the little guy lol. Thanks for the high quality fish and well packaged shipping.
