Fish live, me like when fish live
By Joshua G.
Fish arrived in great shape!
By Jason
Anh is super great and answers all of my questions on Instagram. Seeing the fish in person is just something else, and I ended up changing my mind on which betta pair to ultimately buy. The unimaculata complexes are underrated.

The product was great. Communication could use improvement as it takes a while to get an answer through email. But great experience!! Thank you BW Aquatics!!!

First time ordering wild bettas and fish online. The betta brownorum I bought arrived well packed and in great shape. Would definitely buy from them in the future

Ordered a breeding pair of Betta antuta. They shipped out and made it to me safely overnight. The fish were immediately lively and explorative. Rich was really helpful during the shipping period. The packaging was well done too. I will definitely purchase from here again. I'm already enjoying watching the bettas moving into and out of the flower pots in their holding tank :) Update as of 6/28/25: The two Betta antuta have officially breed! I now have a couple dozen tiny baby dragons :) Excited to watch them grow up and to move them out into the market so that others can hopefully continue to breed these beauties.

Communication was a plus! They informed me about a possible problem with the fish I ordered. They held off the order until the fish problem was corrected. All fish arrived alive and the instructions for adding the fish to the tank were excellent.

The customer service was amazing. They were able to quickly assist me with my issue and were incredibly kind. I will definitely be purchasing another Betta in the future!
