Customer Reviews

Sarah of Memphis PJ Cardinal
This little guy is very interesting! He looks JUST like the picture and he arrived healthy and ready to eat! He likes to hang about in the center of the tank and gets along well with the other fish -- just like he's been there all along!
Joseph of Colorado Great Shape
I got this fish in great shape. Thank you very much. Keep up the good work.
Patricia of Orlando update on my cardinal
Now that he has been in my tank for a month I love him. He finally moved away from my filter so now he stays in the middle of my tank and gets excited at night and during feeding.
Patricia of Orlando too calm for my tank
He is a cute little fish but doesn't leave the upper right corner. He is eating well and is pretty but too docile for my taste. I should have listened to my dad when he told me cardinals are too calm for my taste in a fish.
