I have a new favorite fish store! Thank you for providing such an incredible selection of beautiful fish at great prices! They are always so well packaged and arriving healthy and strong!

I have bought fish from Jay numerous times and am impressed with his quality of fish every time! He has a wide variety of fishes and they always arrive healthy, in great shape and in great packaging. Jay is a very knowledgeable person and replies with prompt answers. Highly recommended seller of high quality fish, not to mention the extremely reasonable pricing.

Jay is a great guy to buy fish from. Always high quality and as advertised. He is great about delivery and a lot of times will deliver same day if he isn't already busy. For anyone looking for cichlids or advice he is your go to guy!

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.

The fish arrived right on time like you promised and they were packed very professionally. I am impressed with the quality and health of your fish! Every order has been consistently above the fish and items i have purchased through other web sites and fellow hobbyists. What is important to me is not just how they look when they arrive and are acclimated to the tank but also how well they adjust and look later say in four or five days. Sometimes I have received quality and healthy fish from others and within a day or two (or less) they start to fall apart. I always quarantine my new arrivals and have yet to have a break out of something appear. There are very few vendors that can have a consistent success rate in that area. You are one of those few. You are in good company and have proven yourself to me time and time again. With my new interest and direction of acquiring Shellies (of which yours look astounding) you and I will be in frequent contact and I'm confident and relieved to know that you can provide me with those fish at a very good competitive price. Thanks for all your efforts in maintaining standards of communication and business practices that are getting rare these days.

I recently purchased 4 African Cichlid fish from Jay at Cichlids Are Special. This was my first time mail-ordering from them. I have ordered from others online and have mixed reviews. Without a doubt, this was the best and most professional experience I have had. You can tell that Jay really cares about Cichlids, is knowledgeable, professional and a pleasure to deal with. The fish arrived in the most impeccable packaging with the utmost care and attention paid to the health and safety of the fish. My Cichlids are all healthy, happy & beautiful and doing well in my aquarium. I will be ordering from them again and would recommend to all my aquarist friends and colleagues. Thank you Cichlids Are Special!

Jay is awesome. Cichlids should be happy to have him. Shipping, packaging and fish equaled a smooth, successful transaction. I wish I could just drive over and pick my fish up.

Thanks Jay.

I wanted to Thank Jay and all of Cichlidsarespecial staff for outstanding customer service, advice, friendliness, quality of fish! They really do make you feel important and not just another shopper type of scenario! This new website, checkout process, navigation are very easy to use and is not complicated like some other online fish retail! I already consider myself a customer for life, Thanks Again. :-)

Jay very helpful and responsive to my questions. The fish arrived in great condition. The redesigned site looks wonderful -- everything is clear, organized, and professional. The compatibility matrix is extremely helpful too. Thanks!

I received my first order of fish from Cichlids Are Special this week and must say that I am truly impressed. The fish were larger than expected, very healthy and are doing very well in my tank. The fish were packaged extremely well and arrived as promised. I will definitely be a return customer. I would recommend CAS to others looking for quality fish.

Hey cichlids lovers look no more, Jay and staff are the best fast shipping,best rates, and great communication not to include awesome top quality cichlids, tidewater va, check cichlids are special, out before starting any tank,because man I wish I did...

This was my first time ordering fish online and not knowing much about it, i asked a lot of questions and received responses back really fast! Jay answered everything i asked him and more. Jay made me feel comfortable ordering fish from him. the cichlids I received looked amazing and i got them for such a low price. I've been telling all my friends that have cichlids that this is the guy to go to. Jay and his staff are great and cant wait to order from him in the future.

I was very satisfied with my CICHLIDS. The size their health and they adjusted very well. I'll be picking up more to get a large variety of color in my 125 gallon cichlid tank.. Now I just cant wait till their color starts to come..... thank you

WOW!!!! I received my order from Jay today. All I can say is WOW. The fish arrived healthy and well packed. They were much larger than I expected and acclimated to their new home well. I spend a lot of time hunting down quality fish and driving all over place picking them up, NO MORE! Thanks Jay, will be placing another very soon.

Ordered from Cichlids Are Special twice now and both times have been very satisfied. Reasonable prices, quick shipping, healthy fish. Will definitely order again and would definitely recommend.
