Great so far
I received all 4 fish alive and well at delivery. The only thing that I had trouble with was placing the order and shipping requirements. Was a little
Confusing when ordering online and I selected and paid for the wrong kind of shipping so they had to call me and change the order over the phone and charge extra which was fine, just delayed my order by a few days.
