This company is fantastic. They communicate, make sure the temps across the country and in your area are okay for shipping and will give you all the info you need!

BW was responsive and helpful with all my questions. Their fish are healthy and happy, I have bought from them multiple times and will do so again!

I went for local pick up. Anh was super friendly and showed me around his fish room. He gave me lots of information, answered any questions I had and even let me pick a fish (that was different from what I ordered, I only had to pay the difference in price). I got a betta mahachaiensis, it's been 2 weeks and the betta has been healthy. Would recommend for anyone interested in wild bettas!

Anh was very knowledgeable about the bettas and answered all my questions. I also had the opportunity to select the fish I wanted. Great place to buy rare and high quality bettas.

the fish came well packed and both seemed to be doing well and were active (they were stressed but this is to be expected and not the fault of BWaquatics). It's been about a week and both fish are doing great. The female is active and actively exploring her new tank, while the male is still unsure (his personality seems a bit shy). I would definitely buy bettas again from them.

Great customer service, knowledgeable as well amazing, well taken care blackwater specific livestock. They helped me to find hard to find licorice gouramis (Parosphromenus sp fawan) and phoenix rasboras (Boraras Merah) for my Kalimantan region peat swamp tank. Will definitely buy again from BWaquatics in the spring as I set my Amazon Region blackwater Rio Araguaia blackwater tank. As well maybe a pair of wild Betta Persephone or api api for my refugium along wild type tiger shrimp.

Really impressed with the speed and care they took to send the fish in a healthy way. They arrived healthy and alive, with beautiful coloration. If you are interested in wild type bettas, they are the place to go.

Ordered from Florida and despite a day delay, both fish arrived alive and in good health. I will say, though, I would like the package to have more indications that it contains live animals and a strong "this side up", potentially in bright orange stickers that I've seen before when ordering fish from other companies- the fish were presented to me sideways at the pickup location, and the mail person tipped the box over on another of its sides to get a look at a label (while I was screaming internally thinking of the poor fish being washed around inside...) Both bags were also not fully inflated, and the corners were not taped- both of which are measures that can help keep the fish safer in transit. Overall though I would order from Blackwater Aquatics again, and recommend them as a supplier of species that can be difficult to find in the US.
