### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Beautiful
*by C***K on July 22, 2025*

The fish was very healthy and beautiful the packing of the animal was excellent I have one small issue that is I thought that the fish was a tad bit small. The day after I bought the fish they offered the same fish two for the price of one which I didn't think that was right,otherwise I have to say that I would still order from them that the fish was excellent and beautiful.
