The generation of fish that you keep means nothing. An person that keeps tank bred guppies is every bit the hobbiest that we are. Many guppy breeders in fact would put most of us here on the SA/CA to shame with there setups. Having wild or F1 fish mean nothing. Anyone can pay a bunch of money and get a wild fish. It just means that you were dumb enough to pay three times as much for a wild fish that is the same fish as an F2.
I am not tied to any sellers and buy from anyone that has good buyer feedback and has what I want. I do have fish from Ken and consider him a friend. He is also a pretty good and honest guy. I also have fish from some of the other people you listed as well as from Grey on aquabid, and SNOOKIN (who I highly recommend). I also just contacted Ira and hope to make a purchase for a pair of fish from him next week.
You need to stop following people around yourself making dumb comments. If you and Reverse have issues deal with it by PM's, not buy clogging up forums with crap. I can tell you for a fact that you are not helping the seller that you want to buy doing this.

Well, that's a little something to chew on. Not sure if I'd have been able to put it just like that, but seems pretty reasonable, I guess, not too inclined to the pursuit - comical nonetheless. Hadn't gotten any contractual obligations, just informal things, I spse. Mightta been a selling agent for vagabonds and ne'er-do-wells, might not, but why name names? Wouldn't want to start a trend LoL! Didn't realize I answered to anybody that goes by reverse or backwards or forwards so I guess I'll just keep on keepin' on, neutral, forward, reverse, all that sort of stuff. Just hopin' everybody stays lucid and reasonably content with it. When was the last time harpin' on anybody was good for the hobby would be my question? OK, be my guest: DC isn't only the "Cichlid King," he's the "Lymph & Hybrid King," "King of Swing," "King of Kings," heck, he might even be J. H. Christmas and a distant relation of Benny Goodman according to some...

You seem to have a way with words. Might be nice for us to visit sometime, if time were to permit. This thread's likely to get scratched I'd wonder...

yeah this was a good thread and most likely will get tossed , however i really do the rare cichlid and wolffish thing, and it bothers me , when people hate on others and they barely have nothing, also they bash people like DC that has more written book's then they have fish. its just crazy to me Bro, Im in the process of getting my F&W liscence and will be planning trips out of the country, for fish collecting so maybe we can network and swap idea's on stuff, cause I know you do the trip's tooMojarraman;3667687; said:

Odd, you just bashed on a ton of sellers and every pet store in the nation. You also just pretty much stated that anyone that isn't buying wild or F1 fish has crap which is completely not the case. We (or at least I) are not in a contest to see who has the most or best fish(sadly many people on here seem to be in a contest). That kind of crap doesn't mean anything to me. You have made it very clear in a lot of threads that you are only buying from one seller and that they have great fish (which I do not doubt). You however do not need to try to sling mudd in every direction to make your point. Some sellers on here are crap and full of it and I'm not going to name any names. Many are not.
I have even tried to order from DCT once. But they were out of the spinno's and gold sajica. If Don ever get's some more in stock I will gladly order some from him.
For the Badoscar. I'm sorry the ick looks worse. That is pretty common for ick to peak before it gets better. I have treated ick with full doses of several different meds (mostly formalin based) on tanks that had wild pleco's with no issues. The last time the tank had a L-200, L-128, and L191 and the meds did not bother them. They are all pretty tough for wild pleco's though. What pleco's do you have in the tank?
caribemob;3667676; said:, helping what seller , :WTF:, what are you talking about? oh and everyone doesn't have money for wild fish Bro, some people only have 15 dollar fish but hate on everybody else, see if you read my posts and threads I never come in bashing, its alway's someone with hardly nothing, talking checks with there mouth there A#$ cant cash, that's all
What difference does it make how much someone pays for a fish????? How exactly does that make you a better hobbiest then someone with LFS fish??????? DCT selles a ton of fish all over the USA. Many LFS carry there fish!!!!!!
My how things change, Screech, or whatever his name is, went from "when i go to other countries its to put my feet up and relax homie, show my family a good time, not to catch fish"
To now he is a wild fish collector, go get them Screech, looking for a "F&W liscence"
whatever that is >>>>>>>>>>>>>>

I'd have to agree. There are lots of directions one could go with the hobby. For me personally, looks come first. Don't show me a wild fish that doesn't look as good or better than its f? counterpart cause I'm not buyin' it. And Kareef, collecting is a dream of mine as well. I wouldn't care whether I was boxing the fish up for import or releasing them back into the wild after I got a couple of nice photos of them. It would definitely be an experience to remember either way and the fam would dig it too I'm sure.
Jgentry, what type of carpinte is that in your avatar?
