Testimonials

I have been involved with tropical fish for 38 years and African Cichlids since 1975. during that time period, I have dealt with numerous retail and on-line suppliers. However, none have ever provided the level of service, quality of fish, accuracy of information at such incredibly low prices. Jay. . . .

When I purchased from you I was very satisfied. The fish you sold me were healthy, they acclimated very well and your shipping was tight. I have since recommended you to a friend that also had a positive experience buying from you. Keep on doing what you're doing and you won't have any problems.

Glossary of Terms

Sex Uncertain: This fish is too small or not showing enough signs of specific sex yet. Many times 2.5" and up Sex Uncertain will turn out to be females.

Males are light blue with red mixed through the body and red on the tail. This fish is slow to color; but well worth the wait. Females are brown with or without some red on the tail. This fish rarely colors before 4 to 4.5"
