Happy! Healthy Fish!
Amazing experience from start to finish! Pascal Reyes reached out to me personally when one of the items I ordered were not in stock. Gave great alternatives to substitute for some fish foods. All my fish arrived happy, healthy, and safely just as promised! I’m very impressed with my arowana for the price! I highly recommend you buy your fish from them! Thanks again PetZone !
