Wonderful Experience

From first inquiry to questions afterward, Blackwater Aquatics has been an amazing company to work with. They helped me pick the right species of fish, chose the perfect weather window to ship, and the fish arrived healthy and feisty! I will absolutely be working with them again in the future and recommending them to anyone interested in wild betta species.

Ordered a male Betta Mahachai Grey

I waited a long time for the Betta Mahachai Grey to come back into stock, and I am delighted with my purchase! The fish I ordered shipped in a timely manner and arrived snugly packed with a heat pack that was still warm the day after delivery. The new fish is very healthy and active, and doing very well in his new home. Highly recommend ordering fish from Blackwater Aquatics.

Great company Great fish!

Great company. Very helpful communication. Rich specifically helped me understand the whole process as it was my first time receiving a fish in the mail. I received it today, and although stressed, he perked right back up is now happy and healthy in my tank. Great quality too. I would absolutely order from this company again.

I had an excellent experience

I had an excellent experience. Shipped quickly - little bubs arrived in great condition and a week later they're happy and healthy as can be. This is the second time I've ordered fish from BW.

Excellent experience with a premium wild Betta antuta

I ordered a "LP" premium quality wild Betta antuta from BWAquatics and had a great experience. I chose UPS Next Day Air, and the fish arrived quickly, healthy, and very well packaged with RFID tracking.The betta was exactly as described; true to quality, full of personality, and settled in quickly with noticeable color and activity improvements. It’s clear the fish was well cared for. I would confidently recommend BWAquatics to anyone looking for high-quality wild bettas.

Amazing fish, great service.

Customer service and product is amazing. However checking out on the website was a real chore for reasons me and customer service couldn't really figure out. I mean I managed to get the order in and the staff was very helpful. It was just an extra hassle I probably wouldn't have dealt with if I knew anywhere else to get these fish of this quality.

Half of Rasboras dead or dieing.

Half of Rasboras died. Bags were smaller than any other shipper I have never seen so little water used. Water was also yellow. First time ordering Beta online. Very small bags and about 3 ounces of water. Don't know why but recieved shipping notification the day after they arrived. I like to be home when fish arrive so not knowing meant the fish sat on the porch for a few hours.

Betta Albimarginata Experience

Shipping was delayed due to cold weather but the fish arrived promptly once they were finally sent. Both fish I ordered arrived in good condition and have since colored up wonderfully. Solid experience, can't recommend these guys enough if you want to try your hands at these kinds of rare and unique fish.
