Death Row from Rare Fish, Dead on, and after arrival thread thread

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
All I can say is Wow! I thought I had a appropriate level of appreciation for you and the other vendors I was apparently very wrong. I knew there where losses, but I never imagined just how many. Still just like the rest of ]v[FK I appreciate you making the rarest of the rare available to us. Your fish always come in excellent condition and I can personally say that I've never had a bad dealing with you as your service is always top notch. I just wish I had more money to fill my tank and line your pockets.
 
EEk! Sad thread but allows us to appreciate all the death and hard work vendors go through, especially when you bring on the rare stuff....

are they still in your refrigerator?

any record of 0 (ZERO) DOA on a particular species of fish being imported?
Click to expand...

actually sometimes, depends on what country they come from, how they're packed, how the fish are conditioned. I've had shipments of 15 boxes with zero DOA, and I've had shipments of 20 boxes with over 50% DOA. I actually don't photograph a lot of the DOA shipments, as its disgusts me. These are just a few that I found and snapped with my Cellphone
 
FK feel you bro...dam knife thru the heart dam painful ..... this is not for the light of heart. You should've put Caution...in title...so graphic and tragic...I'll poor one out for the homies/fishes later tonight when I toss a few back... man .... wipes tears...
 
I should have recorded some of the more tragic shipments I've received over the years...

One of the best was a shipment of marine fish from Haiti...evidently it was hot, so the packers felt an efficient way of keeping the fish cool would be to place a block of ice the size of a human head in the center of the box and then stack the fish around it.

"Pattern is more leopard than tiger. Unbelievable in person and they are a true gynmothorax moray and they act like marine eels.Averaging 11-12 inches and these are the only 3 in the US.

Price is $225ea.

my response.

and I have 20 more in my tank...

His response to mine, I told him that I have plenty, and had them in the past:

Hope you can sell them out MF'r because I sold mine out and have orders for more...from some of your past customers!!

Oh yes, this is called de-railing a thread. Post your own, dirt bag.

Remember your BS with Basil Aquarium supplying you with the "rare" and almost "extinct"chinese fish you treked through the wilds of rural China to collect?? How many Royal loaches do you want? They are in season now!!...in all sizes!!!

Everyone...go look up the thread on the "other" site and watch the BS flow like a chocolate river in Willy Wonka's factory!!!

Here is my response, and haven't I posted pictures of my trip here, on the photo lounge and my blog? What else do I need to do to prove this?

you started to attack me first without getting your facts straight.

i went to China and found those loaches before he ever had them, and I led him to those fish. I know him personally, very well.

I never did attack you in the past, actually bought some fish from you, but the audacity of your arrogance, which also is leading to demise of this site, driving away people from here, leaves me speechless. I just wanted to point out that you are just as flawed as you think you are so perfect., pointing out the obvious that these super rare eels that you're marketing here, I've sold for cheaper, and have more, and have had them years ago as well.

Respect is earned not rammed down someone's throat like you do.
 
EZ is the biggest jerk I have ever tried to deal with/////////// social cripple is more like it
