Both fish healthy
Ordered a pair of wild Imblis bettas, they came in healthy and without illness. The female Imblis took food quickly and the male took a few days to take to food. Both are doing fantastic.

The fish are incredibly healthy and service is impeccable
They always have very healthy fish and are quick to answer. They are the few places I buy my fish from online.

Love the pair of imbelis I got from them, and the best part it's the quick communication, planning to get more bettas from them.
Excellent Betta's
Excellent Betta's! We received two pairs of Betta's from BWAquatics and they arrived in excellent condition. Both pairs within a week started to breed and produce fry. We currently have around 9 fry from the 2nd batch of eggs in one tank, and the other tank is in progress. Excellent Betta's!

An absolutely wonderful experience
Absolutely wonderful experience from start to end. I was looking for something very specific, and they went above and beyond to help me! After I had ordered, Anh sent photos of various fish I could then choose from to fit my specific desires. Once I picked her out, they sent her out soon afterwards. She arrived very well packaged (with some bonus stickers!), and she is healthy and an absolute stunner. I am extremely happy with this entire experience and have already recommended BWAquatics to friends!

Betta Channoides
Nice rare wild betta and arrived alive. But, required 2 weeks quarantine period before add to community tank. It's best used their medicated water bagged with the fish as long it's still work. Otherwise, you will need to find other medication for quarantine to replace the water. You can purchase velvet medication on their website. Shipping practices needed improvement.

Quality Bettas and great shipping!
My fish came in with great health. Heat pack was correctly added and it still retain heat upon opening the box. Another successful purchase and thank you Henry for the beautiful Macrostoma pair. Thanks again for answering my questions.
Thank you Blackwater Aquatics!
I was very happy to have received a refund - I’m assuming for shipping; and to consolidate both my orders into one single order. I’m also excited about the fish inventory and look forward to purchasing more fish in the future - I have never seen such a wonderful array of Wild Bettas being offered for sale. Thank you for the wonderful experience and I look forward to buying more fish!

Fish came in a little cold ~65F but still active. I ordered three pairs two of them came individually bagged and labeled which I appreciate. They were a little shy at first some of them still are but no signs of disease they all look healthy and are eating the live and frozen food I'm giving them.
Betta Channoides Pair
I bought a pair of betta channoides and they arrived in perfect condition! The male has coloured up beautifully and they've already bred with eachother. I highly recommend these guys for all of your wild betta needs
