All fish arrived healthy and were immediately able to acclimate to their tank. I received my fish about 3-4 weeks ago and had no DOAs and no deaths since. Beautiful, healthy fish that provide a ton of entertainment at the bottom of an aquarium. I would highly recommend this fish and AQ as a reliable vendor.

I live on east coast they are on west coast received morning of 2nd day. Fish are healthy and have established their territory in the tank eating food from first hour in tank!!!

I purchased 2 of these and one looks great and very healthy. Swims like a champ and loves exploring his new 55 gallon community tank. The other however was sluggish and did not move around much. He did not show interest in food and had a pinched stomach. Tried to general cure and another anti parasitic as its common for parasites to be the cause. Sadly he did not make it.
