Just got in a mixture of WC and F1's (bentho's, xeno's and paracyps). Fish showed up in excellent shape. Chip threw in a couple of extras. Nothing but professional service from Bluechip Aquatics - Chip demonstrates that your business is his number one concern. Another smooth transaction - as always! Thank You Chip for all your efforts.

Chip was helpful in helping me choose my first tropheus (40 Kazumbas & 40 Blue Rainbows) for my 210. His advice put my mind at ease and he assured me tropheus are not as difficult as they're made out to be. He also said healthy tropheus prepared to travel right ship like "little rocks." He was right my tropheus had to travel from the Cincinnati area to Phoenix, AZ. and I didn't lose a single one.
Chip isn't the most talkative guy so it's up to you to ask all the questions to get the information you need.
I ordered small F1s and they came just as described. They all looked healthy when they arrived and have already gotten a lot bigger with weekly water changes and quality food. They're eating like pigs and race to the glass in hopes of being fed.
Buying 80 fish and having them shipped across the country was a lot more affordable than you would think. Try buying 80 tropheus somewhere else or at your LFS. You would needs some of the government's money Obama is handing out.
It's the first time I've used Bluechip, but I won't buy cichlids anywhere else again and I've got a 300gal in the works!
Chip took the time to prepare the fish to ship, he worked with me on the schedule for shipping and had no issues when I wanted to change my order before it went out.
Overall it was one of the most positive experiences I've ever had in 20 years of participating in this hobby. I hope I get to meet Chi
Chip was most pleasent to deal with the fish arrived without a hitch beautiful and healthy, excellent bagging and packaging. Will definatly do buisness in the future, thanks chip!
Chip was excellent to work with...The quality of fish is unbeatable in my opinion. My feather fins got here with absolutely no problems. Save yourself the problems and go with Blue Chip Aquatics. I will be ordering from him again very soon!!
Fish arrived this morning via Delta. Just a small hiccup at the Delta air cargo, had to wait about 30 mins for fish to be located. 60+ fish were all alive and doing fine. A+ packaging not a drop of spilled water. Will be doing more business, hopefully in the near future, with Chip..
I received another great shipment from Chip and I am very satisfied with the quality.Cyprichromis are not easy to ship and that is not an issue with Chips packing.A female cyp. even came with a batch of 9 fry in her mouth.That is awesome!
Chip is great to work with and as of today I am a threepete customer. I just got in some more Fronts and shellies and they are awesome looking. Chip has great stock, great prices, and the best customer service as he truly cares about his product and the customer. If you are a first timer at ordering fish and having them shipped and you just can't decide who the best is then save yourself a lot of worry and stress by choosing Blue Chip Aquatics. Thanks again Chip and I'll be calling on you again in the future.
Just look at his reviews and compare. Nobody has as many positive reviews on cichlid-forum.
I had not ordered from Chip for about 5 years but when it was time to restart and restock the fish room, I knew where to go. The three Tropheus colonies that I have purchased so far have been great. Chip delivers excellent quality fish which are shipped loose enough to arrive in great shape. I cannot praise him enough. Awesome.
My first experience with Bluechip Aquatics was very possitive. I wasn't sure which fish I wanted then chnaged my order and Chip wasn't upset at all. Packing and shipping was very good with the fish arriving as promissed. My group of Mobas was everything they were described to be with intense blue coloring while still in the box. This will be my place for future cichlid purchases. Thanks Chip.
I highly recommend ordering your fish from Chip. His stock is always excellent and his customer services is unrivalled. I've purchased WC Comps, WC cyps and most recently F1 tropheus fry from Bluechip Aquatics. All of the fish I have ordered arrived in great condition. I bred the comps and I bred the cyps. My recent acquisition, tropheus arrived on schedule at 9:00am. I got them home and acclimated by noon. They we're eating by 6:00pm. With luck I'll be breeding the tropheus too....after they grow up. Thanks again Chip!
Just recently made a purchase from BlueChip Aquatics and I'm VERY pleased. Chip has outstanding quality of fish and his service is 5 star. You can't be disappointed when buying from Chip. I highly recommend buying fish from Chip. I will definitely purchase from him in the future.
I recently order a two more trio of W/C Mipimbwe frontosa, the size and quality of the fish where great. The fish have amazing blues and perfect bars. Bulechipaqutics definitely has all my business. Thanks Chip for outstanding service and quality fish.
As a brand new frontosa keeper (& retired Tropheus keeper) Chip was great in working with to get my Moba frontosa delivered on a day the worked well for me. He was very patient and generous with his time in answering my questions about the fish and their needs. When the fish arrived, they were larger than anticipated, and they were extraordinarily well packed and protected. I have only the strongest recommendation for his product and service. I am one very satisfied customer!
The price was right. chip was more than willing to work around me. The fish all arrived alive, and were a lot bigger than i was expecting. Will definitely do business again.
