Nicholas Wright –
Received the three small cichlids in good condition. They are active and seem to adjust well to the tank. Water parameters match the recommended range. Easy to care for and peaceful in a community setup.
Paul Chapman –
The fish arrived quickly and are healthy. They thrive in a 75F tank with soft water. I kept them with other small species and they don’t seem to fight. Good value for the size.
Irene Turner –
Easy to maintain. The pH and temperature requirements are straightforward. They hide in the plants and only come out when food is offered. Very satisfied with the purchase.
