Hey guys/girls.... we just got done with a Don Conkel Group Buy here in So. California and wanted to leave some feedback for any members who were contemplating purchasing from him that we had a very good experience. He was very helpful in answering questions, has quality fish and is a generous man. All our fish arrived safely and his packaging was like any professional. His product/fish were shipped at the size advertised on his price sheet and of quality. He even packaged some extra fish in the orders, something that wasn't expected but appreciated. We will be doing another order in a couple/few months so anyone interested is more than welcomed to participate. If anyone from this G.B could post some pictures of your fish it would really help.... my camera is out of commission.
 
I'm a satisfied customer here. Good quality fish and some extras too. I will post pictures later on. All alive. I will take pictures later on. A+++ for Don.
 
I am very satisfied with the order. All my thorichthys aureus are doing great and eating and my Chuco intermedius is an extremely outgoing fish. Haven't checked on my bartoni yet as they were dropped off at my office. I'll let you know tomorrow. over all very happy with my order. No cam at the moment but will post pix when i get my nikon.
Thanks!
 
Oliver... maybe this will be easier....

Does he have an updated price list... I spoke with him a couple weeks ago and he was still working on it.. But it looked like you guys had a hidden list??
 
Will post pictures later tonight.

Don's fish arrived in perfect healthy condition. Well bagged, tagged, and boxed. I am very happy with the quality of fish and quantity, (threw in a few bonuses). I and a few other members who participated in this group buy look forward to another group buy in the near future. I highly recommend that if you want some high quality fish, get some people together if you don't have the money and order from Don, otherwise if you are a balla go out and order yourself. Once again very happy customer here.

A+++ for Don Conkel.

Grats and can't wait to see them in the tanks. Is it a $500 minimum or $150?

Slightly confusing.... three tiered pricing:

1. Minimum $500 order is priced off the sheet he sends out, primarily to distributors or wholesalers.

2. Minimum $250 order is priced off the same price sheet plus 25% on top of the price of each fish/order.

3. Minimum per the website is $150 at the listed price on the website.

Hopefully that made sense.
