Thats no loss for me.
It actually saves me $.
So I would call that a gain.
It would be again if you're into a new hobby, keeping $.

I approached Wes and asked him to import them because if i attempted to do it i figured i would be stuck with a bunch of fish that people would not pay for because they are alays cryen about price!!!!:cry::cry::cry::cry:
And guess what Wes did it and he did not even know me ..Made me think this guy is definatly a hobbiest first a vender second in my Mind!!!
I would say to you folks he Rarely makes a prophet and Probably loses money most of the time !!!! He is one of the Last Venders Standing and yet your willing to treat him like this !!!!!!!
You were right on those Hugh. If Wes was just a Vendor, and not a hobbyist, we might only see fish thru Google, instead of seeing them swimming in our tank. Same as if you imported those Pinima, we wouldn't be in a drought! Those tears will be more than sufficient for me to do daily water change, lol

BUt I do have to say these internet mongers are really viscious. They try to make me sound like a bandit that sent them a goldfish instead of a peacock bass with no issues.
This is the reason I said that I was surprise you brought in new shipment when we met 2 weeks ago.

Thanks for the comment. I see this thread as a positive. I will defend my integrity.

And for the record I did not touch any of those so called intermedia 2 years ago. Did not sell. Did not buy. But many famous people and infamous as well got trapped in that fiasco.

Ok, so here is all the fuss. I believe that communication on the internet is limited and there is a lot of room for error.

When you use emoticon, and wink,it could be interpreted as anything. If I winked at a girl, she would assume I like her or something right?

As for the original debate, its for the cichla sp. that I'm selling, which all can agree that I did not list them or sell them as WC, and I didn't label them as CB either, but as are many fish. Not one person that I sold the fish to have complained, and if they do, I'll be glad to refund them or make it right. None have come forward for that reason.

The one person doing all the complaining here is Gangster, I did not offer these to him, I did not try to sell them to him, nor did I sell the fish to him. Not sure what ticked him off, but he started to attack me first. Maybe its because he is trying to bring some fish in or sell some fish and thought he needs to attack me first to build his case. I don't care. I did not sell the fish to him, nor did I solicit his opinion

Chizzel, I've shown him the picture of my pinima, and Hulon chimmed in also, so that case is closed, he will apologize to me accordingly and he did in txt message already, so I'm ok with that. As for the azul he got, I said they are wild, as far as I'm concerned, I was not told they're captive bred, never seen the parents of the fish, and there is no reason to question it one way or another. He was happy with the fish he got, and I offered him a refund on the fish if he wants. There is no problem there, so that is completely different than what we are talking about there. I do have problem with name calling, and he already apologized. So all you gang mentality, don't start a riot just because everyone else is doing it.

Darboy: I see how you're using this to build your case. Yes, I've hand carried azuls from Japan, Osaka a few years ago, stating they were sao farncisco azuls a few years ago. I've imported before from Japan, Taiwan, and offered from Brazilian discus exporter and also Colombia. So I can with my judgement, sell the fish as I please. It does not invovle you, or your fish Darboy. You have helped your friend unpack fish, and if my cichla sp. are different then so be it. Not that big of a deal. Sorry if I misinterpreted your "wink". I've been imported and exporting, retail store for more than 10 years, and go overseas to collect fish and explore. I'm by no means an expert, but I have more years and mileage than most of the people who are attacking me here.

So for the last time, I never stated that my fish are wild, call it cichla sp. I'll remove the sao francisco, as this may and seems to be irritating you, Darboy. and if they grow up completely different, then thats ok with me too. I see yours are bigger and very nice looking, I could only hope that mine will look like your fish. You make it sound like I'm Arnold Swarchznegger hiding a love child or something big. Its nothing. Yes, I get these fish from my friend Woody in Taiwan. and for the record, this fish is not offered on his list, and its invoiced to me as cichla sp. and I have more information leading to your fish that I thought may be the same as mine, but I'll leave it at that. Again, its just speculation and I'm not the first to attack.

"I cannot say for certain what the origin is for these fish, I just go by what is invoiced, since I am told these have never been exported I will take their word for it."

So what did it say in the invoice? Sao fran. Kel quitis? I mean did you follow the invoice or did you get the sao fran name coz you saw my fish and decided it looked the same? You are very difficult to understand.

"I added "sao francisco" after cichla sp. because I saw your fish and thought they were the same, so for people to reference. and even commented on your thread and thought that we all agreed that these were a new item"
"Yes. That is why I sold them as Sao Francisco. I actually commented on your photo 2 wks ago saying that your fish looked a bit like kelberi x piquiti. But you didn't reply. Them I commented under saying that I had the same fish and you smiled back."

That was actually a wink not a smile coz i knew already what you were up to. :)

These are quotes from wes as well during a recent conversation with chizzle please check chizzles posted yahoo mail pages.... And the phone conversation.....
This is what wes said when chizzle asked where the azuls come from he asked also for pics... And again their conversation on the phone...

"It wouldnt be too much, but theyre in a bottom holding tank. So its hard to take pics...... These are all shipped originally out of brazil. Sao francisco region is what im told, like the previous batches."
On the phone
"Chee: Are the Azuls Wild Caught?
Wes: Yes"

Okay wait. So you are saying that your sao fran sp name came from me right? But your azuls were labelled sao francisco too? And you mentioned previous batches? You had some alleged azuls from sao francisco too? Wow small world huh? Im not gonna divulge with the wild caught cb debate anymore. A man who lies has a lot of stories and sooner or later pieces wont fit. Make an excuse out and the story gets longer. My inside info is out already, im sorry if i may have hurt some parties. I told everyone that i heard someone from the u.s. was gonna pass kelquitis up as wc. Then these happened and some piquitis are also ordered by wes that was originally from brazil, sao francisco area, then since my sao frans looked like these fish, wes named them sao frans.

"*that you're going to expose me, like I'm an international scam artist. Geeze. Even if I did mislead people, by making my new cichla sp. sound more exciting, I'm definitly not the first out of the thousands that do that, and I did not say they were wild, again!*"

Yes you did mislead people sir, way to do the "coz everybody's doin it" excuse. yes you made a new cichla sound more exciting. But ever consider hurting your good paying customers? By telling stuff that are not true? Im sure alot of your customers love you, its evident here. So ill use myself as the example. If i were a customer who was mislead. I would not be happy.

"nice discussion going on here, cheers to all who keep bass and try to find the truth.*"
Oh thanks wes for believing in what im doing. :)


The issue here is not the cb wc war, not the country war, its about the misinformation and dishonesty. Nid and everyone who want to talk about my sao fran being the same species as the kelquiti, lets go talk about it! Lets open a thread about it and ill get all my pic progressions and talk about possible theories! Im really up to that! Im not lying about anything when i say that i believe my supplier to the point where i help out some sometime when some fish arrive. No fish arrived from asia at that time, i can read and i can see... Yes darboy can read where packages come from. Thats all i know bros. Could they be asian bred and shipped to south america? Its still possible! Call me a liar its okay, i will respect that. Show me proof? Look at my quotes everything ive said my whole time in mfk. You will never see anything irregular that would make anyone think im dishonest. Anyway yeah im done with this. If you guys still do not believe me. Good for you :) for those who does, good for you too :) You can continue bashing now :) nid! Ill open a thread tomorrow. Lets talk about the kelquitis and sao frans. If you need pics, close up pics, whatever, ill provide it. Ill get a kelquiti tomorrow and record its progress as well. Anyway asian time to sleep! Happy fish keeping everyone! Wes, sorry for fighting for the others. Sorry for all the hoopla this topic has created in our cichla forum. Everybody be safe!
 
Sorry Wes for calling you weasel-like, it was immature of me and I apologize. I was also dead wrong about the pinima, should have did a bit more research instead of just assume things and make an @$$ out of myself. I understand if you and everyone else on mfk chooses not to deal with me in the future. Just wanted to get what I was thinking off my chest.

I am pretty satisfied with the azuls I recieved as 2 of them are accepting pellets after a week. When the third does, I will be 100% satisfied and be worry free.

Hugh: I agree with everything you said up until the point where you told me to grow up. What gives you that right to judge me? I never said anything negative about you and the weasel-like comment was between Wes and I.
 
I think everyone, well mostly everyone is on the same page now. If a moderator comes by, can you please lock this thread up?

Hugh
 
Hugh, thanks for your support and friendship.

Chizzle, we're ok now. Hugh was just again trying to defend my character. The fish you got you were happy with, I did not defraud you, did not sell out under yout. and its not even what we're talking about on this thread, so you apologized on this thread, and I accept it. We'll leave it at that.
