considering order from Conkel

[cichlasomaphobe]

HI, never have ordered from Don Conkel in Odessa FL and am considering it. Does anyone have any experience with his farm? Curious about service, pricing, honesty on sizes and above all, getting the fish I pay for. So we don't make this a grouch-fest, if you have had negative experience, please PM me.
Of course ordering sight unseen and shipping is full of risks, I do it all the time and know perceptions vary but in this broken economy we need to go with proven winners.

No I DON'T BUT I'AM LOOKING FOR SOME RED TEXAS OR SUPER RED FLOWERS. DO YOU KNOW ANY BREEDERS?

You might try Eddie at bluegrass aquatics in Louisville, he had some very nice rose queens and is getting into the FH types.
Also, Aquatics and Exotics in Mount Healthy had a boatload of smaller FH's, cheap and I bet Jason can get anything you want.
And tropical fish distributors had red texas on special in the last couple of weeks, I think.

Well,, the order arrived a few hours ago and most are swimming happily in their new KY homes. WOW AND !!!!! I am super impressed and love each one. Won't bore with the run-down, but the sp Catemacos are my faves for sure! Everything did great and all 101 fish are alive and seemingly well. Honest, friendly and WOW he's smart!!!! Considering all the misinformation and hybrids out there, Don stands tall above the rest.
