Haven't been on there for awhile but you can check out the feedback reviews of the seller.
I personally would buy from another reputable seller on Aquabid. Also Aquabid has strict rules so if anyone is shady they will ban them.
The seller is in Manchester UK. Fish do not get shipped into the US without first clearing customs and US Fish & Wildlife at a designated port of entry. This requires very expensive paperwork, permitting, and a license. Anyone claiming they can ship fish to you from another country into the US is already suspect.
The only exception would be using a transshipper like betta and flowerhorn breeders do. The fish would be sent to a transshipper who would import them, re-bag them, and ship them to you within the US. However, this requires pre-planning and also an extra payment for the transshipper, none of which is mentioned on his page.
There was another seller from the UK posting similar fish a few months ago with promises of shipping to the US and that account was either abandoned or banned, and now this one is posting in its place. My guess is they’re scamming and you should probably avoid it, and possibly report it to Aquabid.
