Thick Styrofoam box provided perfect protection from weather and shipping damage. ### ⭐ Don't buy *by D***N on February 10, 2026* Doesn't care about customers or fish. Mine died in 4 days. Seller did nothing ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 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. ## Frequently Bought Together - Swimming Creatures™ 1 Dwarf Petricola Catfish (Synodontis lucipinnis) Live Tropical Freshwater Aquarium Fish (Approx.
