The fish arrived healthy and looked vibrant. The pink blushing on the gills is very subtle but noticeable. It’s a stunning addition to my planted tank and moves gracefully through the water. I’m happy with the color and the overall appearance.
Jason Ogden –
This is the first time I’ve seen a ghost angelfish with such a unique color pattern. The black fins are striking and the blue body glows well under aquarium lighting. It’s calm and doesn’t stress other fish in the tank.

Received the fish in perfect condition. The shipping was fast and the fish was active upon arrival. It’s a standout in my 55-gallon tank with java fern and moss.
