Healthy and beautiful
Fish is coloring up beautifully and arrived healthy, safe and happy. Took maybe a week to get him used to pellets in addition to live. I think he ate all my shrimp so he definitely want going hungry!
1000% worth paying 5x petxxx chain store prices for healthy beautiful fish that are well cared for.
They care about your satisfaction
I’ve been working on a planted tank for Channoides for a while and throughout the process I was in contact with BW Aquatics. They really worked with me to assure my fish were going to be more than okay. I can recommend them to everyone! They’re amazing!
Reliable seller

It was amazing!!
It was amazing!!! From ordering to receiving my betta, I had a great experience. The communication was great. They responded very quickly to any questions I had and my fish arrived safe and sound❤️. I wish I could add pictures here because the bettas I received are BEAUTIFUL!! Thank you guys!!
I am impressed with the selection and…
I am impressed with the selection and web interface at BW Aquatics, and the streamlined purchasing experience. My only caveat was that with next day shipping, there wasn't much warning of when fish would arrive, once packed and ready. That just made it a little tough to make sure I was around to receive the animals. The fish I received were in good health and beautiful. A great resource for hobbyists! Overall, a good experience and would recommend for others.
BWAquatics The Best !

Henry was super helpful and patient…
Henry was super helpful and patient (after having to answer a ton of questions). I received "Rio" (my new Betta Smaragdina Guitar Copper) super fast and in great shape!! I wouldn't hesitate to make another purchase with BWAquatics. Absolutely professional and absolutely passionate about their business. I am totally happy with my new fish, totally happy with Henry and totally happy with BWAquatics!!!
Very responsive
Very responsive, and the Betta arrived in great condition. He's loving his new home. Would 10/10 order from them again.
First mahachaiensis
I got the fish I wanted, he settled in his new home so well. I was worried he wouldn’t assimilate into the community tank I have but I was told he’d do fine and that he has done.
Great sellers and very informative
Great sellers and very informative. I've made multiple purchases through them and I've never been disappointed. They will definitely take care of you.
Healthy, beautiful fish
I received four beautiful, healthy wild-type bettas from Blackwater Aquatics! I'm new to fishkeeping and had never ordered fish through the mail before. I really appreciated the transparency around their quarantine and shipping process. Also got lots of updates through the Shop app, so I was ready to take the fish right when their box arrived. And I learned a lot from reading the blog posts on the BWA website before I placed my order, so I was better equipped to help them settle in and color up once they arrived. One pair spawned only a week later! Super cool. I hope to order again soon.

First Purchase
Brian was very responsive to my email and my shipping concerns. I received amazing fish and will continue to purchase from Blackwater Aquatics.
Second time ordering from Blackwater…
Second time ordering from Blackwater Aquatics they are truly amazing sellers. I completely trust that whatever I order from them will arrive with excellent packaging and alive. If you like rare betta fish this is seller to buy them from.
The fish arrived healthy and beautiful
The fish arrived healthy and beautiful. Packed very well. But had an issue after releasing them into my tank. Sent an email but had no response.
