Commitment to Fish Quality & Health

The cornerstone of our reputation is the quality and health of our livestock. Many enthusiasts have remarked, “Owner has the BEST looking peacock cichlids I have come across! Very healthy and beautiful vibrant colors!” We invest in rigorous quarantine protocols, balanced nutrition, and regular water testing to ensure each fish arrives at its healthiest potential. That said, we recognize there have been occasions where a shipment didn’t meet our standards—and yours. When a customer reports a concern, we take it seriously. While some replacement requests have been challenging to fulfill immediately, our team is continually refining processes to stand behind every fish we sell or ship.

One of the most lauded aspects of Keystone Cichlids is the owner’s hands-on approach. Visitors frequently comment on the friendly, communicative atmosphere: “He was very nice and communicative! Will be buying more from him!” From beginner hobbyists asking their first question about tank cycling to veteran keepers refining breeding setups, our knowledgeable staff provides tailored advice. We believe that a well-informed hobbyist is a happy hobbyist, so we’re always ready to discuss water parameters, compatibility charts, or feeding routines—ensuring you feel confident bringing home a new aquatic friend.

Shipping & Delivery—Our Ongoing Improvement

For customers beyond Reading’s city limits, we offer shipping solutions designed to deliver your fish safely and swiftly. We understand that shipping fees can represent a significant portion of your investment—and we share in the frustration when unexpected issues arise. A few customers have pointed out delayed replacements or elevated costs, and we’re actively exploring partnerships and packaging innovations to bring you more value without sacrificing care. Your feedback fuels our improvements.
