This is John's reply

I'm the reason this site has survived.
You have attacked me several times but, yes, you did come to me for parrot pacus and begged me to get more for you.

You did not go anywhere. You pirated pictures from Basil's website to show off the fish you "brought back alive" a la Indiana Jones. If you had the fish, you would do what I do...take a picture in your tank...not steal the pictures from the real source and seller. And a mega seller like you would not hide behind the "my camera is broken" BS. When I have a camera that goes dead, I go to the store and buy a new one immediately as I have the $100 to buy a new one, schmuck that I am. Amazing that people on the internet buy into so much BS that defys common sense.

Yes, and Basil knows of you as well. Told me all about the 1 shipment he sent you.

Anyone reading this, go to basilaquarium.com...check out the pictures posted on the website and then compare to the pictures in the selling post...legit sellers have no need to steal pictures to sell fish let alone compose the extensive narrative to cover ordering over the internet and sending a TT to the exporter!!

I am far from perfect, but I am the best that has ever been on any of these sites.

If you have these fish, go right ahead and post them. Lots of fake FW marines out there...that is why all of your fake FW bumble bee groupers died in about a week on everyone that bought them. I can buy these eels in marine water for $1.00 before my discount. Getting the real thing from that area in Indonesia is extreme and the cost is high. I can get these fish from other sources in Indo (marines that were acclimated to FW) for about $7ea. IPR-a big wholesaler in NJ that screwed shippers all over the world and just went out of business- had a few of those awhile back and they were dead in days.

The real thing costs and my customers know it, trust me with their money, and reap the benifits. And, in the future, we will begin collecting the other species that come from this area including the groupers, lionfish, and anglerfish...all in pure FW.

So, big shot, let's see your post selling them for $9.99 and I hope you make a fortune. Shut your weasly little mouth...unzip, lay it out on the table, and prove how big you really are.

As said the judge in Caddyshack..."Well, we're waiting...."

And you are still de-railing the thread, but you are going to drag hundreds of people from "the other site" over here so they can watch me fillet you alive. I'll allow you to continue for the entertainment of the internet.

Keep it coming. You're really putting me in my place!!!

This is my reply, will make for some fun on July 4th. I'm stuck at work, so I have plenty of time.
1. thanks for taking the time to reply at such length. so can you point out when and where I attacked you? I cannot recall.

2. I did buy fish from you once, about 5 years ago, ossubtus xinguensis, the fish were great, price as well. thanks. Later the year you had more and asked if I wanted them, and I declined. Also I'm surprised you remember me buying, one small order so many years ago. I have a hard time keeping track of orders from earlier in the year sometimes.

3. I never claimed to be a big shot importer, you do. I did however go to China, before Basil was even there exporting fish. I guess you were banned from MFK so you couldn't see the pictures, but you can see some pictures on my blog http://www.fugupuff-fugupuff.blogspot.com scroll to the bottom, and you can see the dates of the thread and pictures, not sure what other proof you want. I did not make up any stories. Also if you read in TFH magazine there is a published article on our trip as well. Also I've been given permission to use his pictures, since I'm selling some of his fish, but that is way after I've first come in contact with the fish. I even know the person who took the pictures.

4. yes, you are one of the reasons why this site is around, you are god here, but as for derailing. you have 3 threads on this same item that you're posting, and there isn't really much traffic here, its more like a conversation between me and you here. and if this drives up some traffic here, I'm ok with it also. It doesn't bother me. Again, I'm not making any claims, just clarifying the fact that you are not the only ones with these eels. I've had them, Li on the other site has them, in freshwater for years now. you can youtube it gymnothorax polyuranodon.

5. What bothers me is your inability to be pleasant and cordial. You're inability to admit that you are wrong, and your arrogance. You have misidentified fish on many accounts, but you seem to fail to ever admit it. It seems like everything you bring in is special, but anyone else's fish is garbage. Also you have ruined the price point of many fish by going on price wars with other vendors. Also you started to attack me on my expedition and trip on another web site, making crude remarks like how you could just be sitting behind a computer scratching your balls and accomplishing what I do. I'm not sure what you are doing is any better than what I do. I have actually gone out of the country, have some friends, and have a life. Maybe this is just your marketing strategy, well good for you. I don't understand what went wrong in your life that made you so angry and hard to get along with. I guess many of the fish people are like this or maybe its the years of dealing with reptiles and you've inhaled one too many chemicals.

Never heard of him. Did he do anything notable? Sounds like he is just worries about some pictures being shared.
 
Wes why all the fuss about this baby? We know eczs has brought in some nice fish...but his customer service is far from OK. He is arrogant and a pos. Enough said. Mfk supports good and reputable vendors w/ great customer service. That he is not.
 
There's really No Reason or Purpose for some posts that were mentioned above. I am opinionated, but will keep my opinions to myself rather than derailing, in this thread, hopefully it gets back on track! sorry for all your loses fugu... looks like you had your fair share of broken hearts!

His reply to mine above.

Long on reply...short on substance.

I am fascinated how these idiots continue to reply. It is like moths to the flame.

If you derail my threads, I cut your balls off. It is very easy. Oh, and wrong scientific name for the eels, genius. These are the only ones to my knowledge, and pretty much anyone elses, for sale in the country now. You just posted that you have 20 for sale right now for sale and for less money. You were told to lay it on the table. So far, I see nothing...pretty much the same anyone sees when you remove your pants.

Continue to post and derail threads and I will continue-as your God-to humiliate you in the form you so richly deserve.

And, as everyone knows, I was never banned from MFK. I told Li to stick the site up his *** sideways and remove my seller's forum when I was not allowed to post in the Buy and Sell but some 2-bit pleco seller (who screwed over hundreds of people and is long gone) was. Get the facts correct and I am sure Li himself will admit to that one.

I also don't care where you go on vacation. You just bought the fish from Basil...a tiny shipment at that, pirated his pictures, and sold the fish as some big, important "Look at ME!!!" bs rant on MFK. Tracked the fish back to Basil through my Thai shipper within 48 hours after you started that thread. Basil told me he sent the shipment to you at the exact time you were offering the fish that you "brought back by hand from the wilds of rural China after taking months to get special permits..." The truth stinks, hurts, and sucks, but it is what it is.
Wonder how the guy who paid you $1,000 for that loach would like it to know you paid Basil $70 plus freight for it and $50 for the other big ones.
Hey, I get top dollar for my fish, but that even offends me!!!

So, no post and offers for the common FW leopard moray eels you are selling by the dozen and for pennies. After all the well thought out eppistle on my "shortcomings" you have truely proved, in public, you are hung smaller than a dacshund's penis.

You probably should have continued to buy fish from me. Then you would have remained relevent in the fish world. Go on back to your friends on MFK and hang your sorry head. If you want, I can sell you some eels under the table so you can save face and say "Look, I have some!" And all the while knowing that people who used to deal with you are now dealing with me and loving it!! That just about says it all.

Meanwhile, I have people on a list waiting for the next morays to be collected and sent to me. Next week are more big datinoides, borneo stingrays-good to ship iinto California!!, giant fire eels and large African tarpoons again.

And as for me being on drugs or having anger issues, let me say that I have never even smoked a joint (Unlike Wes who "puffs" his own "fugu") let alone anything else. What I have is a comic sensibility and a brain to use it along with a determination not to take crap from internet trolls like yourself who would $hit your pants if you ever met me in person and tried to pull any of this crap. You're a big shot behind the keyboard where noone can see you, but I dare you to try it in your own city in person. Go into some other shop and start up this kind of backbiting in realtime public. I'll personally write your OBIT as a gesture of reconciliation.

Can't wait for your next savage reply..."You, you,you, YOU"RE A DOODY!!!"

Yours in the spirit of friendship,

John
