I am pretty much the same as most who posted on here. I've used it several times, if I can go direct I perfer to do that but I've also bought through listings. I have had nothing but positive experience through aquabid. Any fish I have ordered through there has been fine. Just like anysite though scammers are always around so you just got to be careful and do your research. I look at ratings and who they were posted by and what was positive or what issues they had, etc. Some on there are or were members and or vendors of mfk. Just do your research first. I will usually e-mail the seller asking them questions before I buy too.
