First time ordering wild bettas and fish online. The betta brownorum I bought arrived well packed and in great shape. Would definitely buy from them in the future

Ordered a breeding pair of Betta antuta. They shipped out and made it to me safely overnight. The fish were immediately lively and explorative. Rich was really helpful during the shipping period. The packaging was well done too. I will definitely purchase from here again. I'm already enjoying watching the bettas moving into and out of the flower pots in their holding tank :) Update as of 6/28/25: The two Betta antuta have officially breed! I now have a couple dozen tiny baby dragons :) Excited to watch them grow up and to move them out into the market so that others can hopefully continue to breed these beauties.

Communication was a plus! They informed me about a possible problem with the fish I ordered. They held off the order until the fish problem was corrected. All fish arrived alive and the instructions for adding the fish to the tank were excellent.

The bettas arrived alive, after several days the male still has very little color, looks nothing like the picture shown when I ordered the betta.

The customer service was amazing. They were able to quickly assist me with my issue and were incredibly kind. I will definitely be purchasing another Betta in the future!

These guys always hit a home run! The combination of quality, health, collection-location availability, great shipping, and awesome communication (I could go on), make them THE place for serious aquarists looking for the fish that are so hard to find elsewhere (I'm a parosphromenus nut)!! I WILL work with them again.

I got him on time and box was very well packaged with (still warm) heat packs! After I acclimated him he hid for a while but after a week his colors are absolutely stunning! I’m very satisfied with his physical appearance, almost matches the pictures on the website! + the owners were very nice and informative with all my questions so just another plus!

Excellent customer service, great communication!! Healthy fish!! Continued customer.
