Cichlids of the America's

[RD.]

and if im correct cichlids of the americas goes and collects the fish themselves unlike other vendors just getting them shipped to them not knowing if there wild caught or not

Dan does not collect all of his fish, so in that regards he is no different than any other vendor that sells WC specimens.

Many vendors have min order amounts, as do most wholesalers. What it does is save the business time & money by making their business more efficient. It's simple business 101. Some vendors may not mind running in circles to make $5.00 because they are running their business out of their garage, as a second income. Others do this full time working 14 hr days, 6-7days a week & simply don't have time to deal with $10.00 orders.

Make sense?

IMO what would make even more sense is to email/call the vendor directly and ask him.

Agreed, 100%

If I am correct I know that by raising the minimum price it hurts some people and i know where Dan get a lot of his fish from and I also know that there are a lot of good vendors that won't up there prices and they are still good with minimum orders of $50 bucks. If they can do it for $50 still why can't he and I have also emailed Dan and am still waiting for is response

To me it's just wrong if your good at what you do and your doing great business then why raise the minimum order that's showing me 2 things he isn't doing good and 2 he isn't selling many fish. For me I can afforded to Order $100 dollars of fish but why do I need that if I want a single $50 dollar fish and he is the only one with it than why should I have to order more fish I don't want and lose money?

Because he goes on collecting trips all the time. Honestly if you can't afford to buy fish on line buy them from your local fish store. I personally love ordering fish on line and would do it all the time if I had the room and of course the funds.

RD's post said not all of his fish are collected himself. Only Dan can tell you what is or isn't wild caught or collected by him.

I also know where he gets a lot of is stock from I talked to the guy that sells him the fish but the point is why are you going to raise it to a $100 when you see people that just want to buy 1 fish that is $60 to finish off a tank but now hey can't they have to find room for one more fish that they didn't really want to buy or sell it because they didn't want to buy it. Now your losing more money that way.
