and over there

Comin at ya from the side

http://westflorida.bbb.org/WWWRoot/Report.aspx?site=47&bbb=0653&firm=90011934

the last one is from the big guys at the Better Busines Bureau

This is not a bashing of any sort. I just want to inform everyone about this because it should be brought to your attention. It has recieved an unsatisfactory report at the BBB, and all the copmlaints sound pretty legitimate. We had some similar complaints on this board about the flowerhorns as well.

Be weary if you are ordering from them.

Yeah it was brought up before in this section. Someone talked about how they called about their flowerhorns (3-4 inchers) and they don't seperate them and they aren't even the same ones in the picture and stuff. Thats why i posted it on here. But I want to post it on the discus forum as well.I am glad that everyone is so happy about this though. I was really afraid of people saying that I was bashing them or something, but I truly just think everyone has the right to be educated about poor business practices, especially if you are going to be spending a lot of money on fish (which a lot of people on this forum do).

I have had similiar problems with them. They would not answer e-mails, sent diseased fish that were dead within 48 hours, etc.

Please do not confuse somethingphishy with something fishy in Cleveland, OH, which is a wonderful company to deal with.
