Excellent service and very healthy fish

I was a-bit hesitant to order from their online store. But the I was overwhelmed with the excellent customer service and also I received exactly what I ordered and the fish I received is very healthy. Also the excellent packaging tells me how much they care about live fish and safely arriving to customers. I really recommend buying you live fish and supplies from them.
