Beautiful
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.

I have bought the 3 Pea Puffers in the past and I have absolutely loved them. They arrived super healthy and active. I’ve never owned fish before and these were perfect. Then I bought another catfish. It wasn’t alive when it arrived. Seller immediately sent a replacement that was bigger and very healthy

Good fish
It's cool how they patrol the tank, they may have some scuffles but they never hurt each other just wiggle next to each other they are a lot calmer now to. over all great fish would recommend
