First order with Bunnycart. Good experience. All fishes arrived alive and healthy. Plants too. There were some defects with the plants and order processing takes a little more time than expected. That's the reason for a 4 star rating. This is a genuine website to place orders. Will order again. They call us and keep us informed about the order status. Keep up the good work. All the best!!!
