Overall

I'm Stacy Jones. I recently developed a fascination for Angel fish. I started looking online but couldn't find anything sizeable or striking until I came across Rainforest Farms.

I'm pretty picky about all the details of the angels from size to color, fin and tail size. That's when I found these at Rainforest Farms. (Picture included).

The shipping was fast as I made sure to order on a Monday. When the box arrived I didn't know why the box was so big until I was pleasantly surprised when I opened the box. Inside far exceeded my expectations. The fish were adult sized and the biggest angels I've ever seen. I was so happy. The veil tails flow and the top fins are tall and outstanding.(picture included). I bought a breeding pair so I was elated that I had not one but two of these healthy and active fish.

I recommend the breeding pair as you will enjoy watching the male guard the female. He also is polite and waits to eat until the female has had her share of frozen blood worms. Which by the way you will bond with them like no other fish because you'll stick your hand in there holding thee chunk of frozen blood worms and they are trained to come up to your hand and eat from your hand.

The male was a little distracted guarding the female from my other angels and also being polite by letting the female eat first. Get seachum garlic. Soak a little bit of it on the food then watch them quickly devour every moral.

I emailed Tom at Rainforest Farms before discovering Seachum garlic. It was late and I expected to hear from him within days. He called within minutes. I could tell he cares a lot about the fish as he asked how they were doing and how they were interacting with my other angels. He told me that they were used to being hand fed frozen blood worms. I was so excited to hand feed a giant fish.

I told him I wasn't expecting such a large fish and that I'm so mesmerized by them. They lovingly nudge each other. They follow each other and will almost do this dance with each other rubbing themselves together.

I described all these things to Tom that I never knew existed. He then said he had more of these large breeding pairs.

The breeding pairs that he offered me for sale were not listed on his page so call him if you want more. I believe there are plenty left of the double black veil tails. They are more beautiful in person and as the light passes through them. They have a teal under eye lining that glows. The body is like lace covering a zebra pattern and has tons of glittering spots that sparkle as the light touches them. Their tails are veil lace almost polka dotted very ornate and flow elegantly as they swim.

Tom gets his fish from a wholesaler as most LFS stores do. He has impeccable taste in choosing unique, striking angels.

He has access to this wholesaler and regularly goes there so don't just rely on the website for what's available. He will make a special trip to the wholesaler to get you something similar. The price is well worth the quality, strength, health, bond and size of the fish. His selection is definitely rare and awe striking.

The best way to get the rare ones is to put in special requests by calling Tom. Don't rely on what is listed on the site alone. He can do special requests by trying to find what you want from his wholesaler. It will take time but believe me the wait for the perfect fish is well worth it.

I've attached pictures but the pictures don't do them just as you can't see all the details I mentioned they have that you see only when they move and light reflects across their skin. If you pay attention to the picture with the yellow angel fish in it you'll clearly see how massive the black ones are in comparison to what other stores sell you.

Go with Rainforest Farms the treatment i get with customer service and custom requests is phenomenal. Call. The number is listed on the website I believe. If not I know the email is and you can get the number after emailing.
