In my opinion, Ted is an okay guy. Just last week, he drove like 600 miles to Northern CA to sell and drop off fish. I had to call him a few times and he went out of his way to drive and sell fish in unfamiliar territory at night.

yeah should of just bought them when you were there. but if he said he'll hold them for you then sold them to someone else. that is kind of messed up. but it happens. i might be wrong. but to me, it looks like he sold them for a higher price to someone else that was willing to pay. since that other guy said he'll sell them to you for 25 when ted said 80. thats a big difference. cuz i dont think they would have any problems selling those dats at 25 each.
One of the Best LFS in Socal! Ted been around long time in the business a true veteran in the hobby.
he probably traded the dats for the gar
let me break this down seems like someone is crying about missing out when he had the chance to pick it up. so the part where i said 5 piece @ 25. that i should have checked. 2 i didnt want both of us to waste time so i called ted which took me about 5 tries to get you the deal. but it turned out there was only 3 so im guessing in good mind of ted he wanted to give you a deal SO he said 3 for 80. my guess is he didnt hear the part where i said i offered 25 to you. SO you decided to just goto all-happy yourself. and decide to look around and give ted a hard time trying to lowball. then you walk off saying i will come back and buy this and that blah blah blah. BUT did not mention to TED to save the damn fish for you. Ted and i arent retards where we cannot understand "can you save me those thinbars" ask anyone who dealth with me that asked me to save to fish. have i not saved the fish for then. i had to go through many people complaining at me for not selling them the fish but i have kept that promised. then you go off and running your mouth on mfk saying we wereunfair. sorry to be harsh but if you have common sense please try to use it for once. and stop crying about something that you missed out on. ask any person who runs a store or works at one. without a verbal contract or a deposit on the fish you need theres no way of saving you a fish that there is no 100% proof on whether you will pick it up or not. sorry but put the mfk community on the spot but the things i said was me and ted doing wrong? please be straight forward with us. obviously ted and i dont have all the time in the world to babysit fishes all day. that is why ted hired me to help him out. anyone opposed to what i say? that is fine but tell us if we are doing wrong so that we can fix it. we kept the reputation on mfk til now if we were giving bad service then how in the world would we be on mfk still to this point.
BOOYAH!!!! Way to clear the air man!! I think that all of us realize that you are running a business and first come first serve when it comes to selling fish.....
LOWBALLED? i didnt low ball him. i simply ask if he can grant the offer you offer me. i didnt say straight out 25 bucks for it. i said yea i talked to your friend and he gave me a price of 25, so i came down here seeing if you would grant the 25 dollar. and he simply said yes.
my friend ask what he was feeding them he said feeders. my friend dont like feeders. he told us to take our time think it through dont buy on impulse.
WE TOOK OUR TIME. we didnt go to another store asking for datnoids to see if they hvae it for cheaper or something. we simply went to DD fish n pets in santa ana because they told him they got PEACOCK TEMENSIS in and hes been waiting for them to get them in.
i'll call you

i was going to pick up the fish. i wouldnt have called you nor ted dozens of times to just be interested in a fish. my friend just had to think about it, and simply ted say yea go ahead and take your time dont buy on impulse.
i was cool when my friend told me that he sold 2 datnoids, i just simply said lame i thought i told him to save it for me. guess it wasnt, then i got a call from my friend saying that ted said oh yea i didnt know if you were going to come through or not, and you guys called another store for the datnoids and they said they got it for 18dollars and we went there and that we LOWBALLED HIM. i never lowballed him i just ask if he can grant the price you told me. that right there just pissed me off because he was accusing us of trying to find better deals. saying we are flakes. i called him sunday monday and today i called him in the morning he said give him a call in a hr or so and i did, he said he will be in the store in a hr and i said okay. so i called the store he picked up then he goes oh im about to go pick up a gar ill call you back in 30 mins or an hr. no call back i called him again and he said oh he will call me back in a 30 mins or an hr. so i just told my friend after he was done eating to just go there and see.
i wouldnt call all day and weekend just cause im interested. my friend thought it over and said okay i want the datnoids and that he will setup his seperate 10 gal just to house it.
accusations always lead to a no good ending and ted accused us of trying to find better deals and low balling him. why would i drive to santa ana - 30-40 mile trip to save 7 bucks. when your store is just a mile or two away. doesnt even cover gas money and time to go up there.

also. they didnt have peacock temensis they had peacock occellaris. which is far different and a waste of time driving up there, but in the end we did buy 2 baby jardini's from DD fish n pets. call them up ask them yourself.
