I just realized that Eddie put in 4 extra fish with my order of 20, they move too fast to count, thanks Eddie -- two didn't make it, but you covered me! Folks, the fish Eddie sent with the prestige mix are absolutely fantastic, he wrote me that I would like that mix and he was right, I let him do his thing because Kentucky people usually know what they are doing and some of these fish I have never seen before anywhere in any pictures, and they LOVE their new home, the kids are helping with the water changes and already doing sketches for school. I just caught the FedEx guy as I was coming back from quick trip to hardware store on coldest day of Winter so far -- thank God! The groggy one snapped back the next morning Eddie.

Prestige mix arrived healthy and well balanced with species. Mix gets along real well, no major territory issues. Eddie is very help-ful and great to deal with. Prices are way better than local fish store. Highly recommended

eddie was a very friendly,well-educated person that explained in extent.nice fish

I have order now twice from Eddie, and both times I received all fish alive and well. I honestly can't say that about a couple of other retailers I have dealt with. Thanks again, Eddie.

I ordered 40 fish (10 Fryeri, 6 Caeruleus, 6 Saulosi, 6 Red Fin Borleyi, 6 Yellow Fin Borleyi, 6 Baenschi Peacocks) on 1/4/06.

The fish were shipped on 1/5/06 and arrived at 10:00AM 1/6/06. Upon inspection and acclimation of the fish I discovered 2 things right away. #1. Eddie had generously placed 3 additional fish in the order. #2. All the Borleyi except one were in poor condition. The fins were frayed and tattered and all were breathing laboriously. Shipped/transported fish are often distressed, but that is an inadequate description of these fish.

By early evening all the other fish in the order seemed well acclimated to the new home and doing well….except the Borleyi. The next morning I started losing them. When Monday (1/9/06) rolled around I had already lost 6. At that point I sent Eddie an email informing him of what was going on.

I did not hear from him until Thursday (1/12/06), but he offered to replace the fish on a future order. I really did not need more fish, but felt I could order a few more if it would get me those replacements. Basically, I was willing to pay the extra $80 in shipping to have the replacements sent.

A couple of weeks later I tried to place my small order. The website was still problematic and did not allow me to complete the transaction. No problem, I will email him my order and have him send me a PayPal invoice like the last order. That was 1/31/06, and I have not heard from him.

I ordered 40 fish and all but one made the trip to frigid Detroit. (Eddie threw in a couple extras to cover that). Awesome selection of fish. I ordered 20 Standard Mix and 20 of the Prestige Mix. I've even made an African cichlid convert of my salt water tank loving wife. I reccomend Bluegrass to anyone.

We are new to African Cichlids after going over alot of the reviews found Bluegrass and order 40 fish from his special packages. The fish arrive overnight shipping and we only lost 1 fish in the trip from KY to CA they are just beautiful and doing just fine. He threw in a few extras to compensate for travel loss.

Ed is a good man to work with. Communicates well. I would buy from him again.

This is the email I sent him after ordering 8 saulusi, 4 yellow labs, and 4 black acei.

"I recieved all of my fish today. The saulusi and yellow labs appear healthy, although they have a lot of fin nip damage. This is not a big problem. In fact, you sent me one extra lab and one extra saulusi. However, my 4 acei apear to have fin rot, one has a swollen eye, and is lethargic and not eating. Overall however, I am satisfied with your service, although your website has a lot of errors and broken links on mozilla firefox."

update:
the very next day I received a reply, and he told me how to treat them, without pushes any of his products (like medicated food). I thought this was very responsible and he apears to be working on a new website, which is very nice.

Eddie goes above and beyond. I am new to the hobby and had LOTS of questions. Eddie walked me through and helped me stock my 55g tanks. Fish are beautiful. Will definitely do business with again.

After a few phone calls and emails I placed my first ever order for fish to be delivered via FedEx in the dead of the Wisconsin winter. Until the fish arrived, I still had my doubts if I had done the right thing.

Not to worry, the fish arrived 19 hours after the were sent and only 1 loss out of 45+ fish!!

Ordered Eddie's Prestige Mix and what a fantastic mix they are, a total of 16 species, still trying to figure who is what...thats just part of the fun!

Eddie answered all my questions and adjusted the order to meet my needs as to what I was looking for to stock my 150 gallon tank.

Bluegrass Cichlids will get my return business.

THANKS EDDIE!!

once again great fish at a great price.i have gottten all of my fish from Eddie and always will.all 4 of my tanks are stocked with bluegrass cichlids from 1m/3f Sciaenochromis fryeri to 1m/1f FO White
Altolamprologus calvus and many more.

I just received 2 orders of fish from Eddie at Bluegrasscichlids and I'm quite pleased. Fish look good and Eddie took a lot of his time talking to me about my orders. I won't hesitate to get fish from him again.

Eddie is extremely friendly and knowledgeable, and his fish are healthy and beautiful.

After talking at length over the phone he helped me choose the perfect cichlids to complement my setup. The fish were packaged professionally, with heat packs and insulation.

For my next tank I'm definitely going with his assorted "specials" package deal.

If you're looking for hard to find fish and excellent service, Eddie is the man to go to.

Eddie has the lowest prices on the internet. I have ordered a couple times from him and the fish have always arrived alive. In fact the last group that I bought is not breeding like rabbits. They are all good, pure stock, no hybrids.
