Online Vendors

[buddha1200]

maybe they just dont want to sell to you,why would they want to sell or deal with some one who always has something negative to say about the vendors on here.
do you think they dont read what people say about them,AS THE SAYIUNG GOES ALL MONEY AINT GOOD MONEY.
i gaurantee that you can name any vendor listed in this thread and i will contact them this week and have the fish in my tank by the end of the week.
four thousand post dont make you a great fish keeper or person to deal with.

What species are you looking to acquire? Usually that's a huge determining factor when it comes to picking a vendor. As for the DCT controversy, my opinions are well documented on this forum so I'ma leave that alone.

For the most part, I was very flexible. It really just came down to what each individual Vendor was carrying. But I got ahold of Ira and it looks like we've worked something out.

Good choice!

The problem is that the fish DON'T speak for themselves. Anyone can label a pond fish "wild" or "F1"...even list a collection point. Happens every day. And often the fish are beautiful. Just not what they were sold as.

That's why the INTEGRITY of the vendor is really important.

The OP asked for advice and opinions. I've given mine. Believe what you wish. And enjoy the convention...preferably without a chip on your shoulder.

Will as far as i am concerned the fish speak for them selves,and ira doesnt just sell conkels fish he gets fish from many sources,so implying that he only sells conkel fish is nt correct.
The only reason i said anything on the subject is that i have noticed every time some one on here mentions ira or cichlid conection name as a vendor,dog of war aleways has something negative to say,maybe i am starting to see what the problem is with big events like the aca,people acting like they are the know all to be all with half truths and information acting bigger than what they are,hope i am not making a mistake going to the aca(hope its not full of people making assumptions of people they have never dealt with)
we shall see,we shall see

you are absolutely correct anyone can label what they want,just like anyone can MISLABEL WHAT THEY WANT

When have I ever said anything negative about a single vendor before this thread? And I didn't even name names on this thread! You need your head examined? Please post a quote from one of my four thousand posts where I have EVER said a bad thing about a vendor?

I hear very good things about him, so looking forward to making a purchase.

just be careful when buying fish from vendors especially if you dont see the fish like for instance midas citrinillum and it's really a midevil or labiatus

Yeah, Ira sent me pics of the fish I'll be receiving. Feel much better and very confident after seeing them.

Aside from you being a blatant liar in regards to what you post about other people, what exactly do you contribute on MFK that makes you a "good" fishkeeper? All I can see is pretty pictures you take of your fish. I've got quite a few posts helping people with filtration systems (seen my sticky in the setup section?) installing 3D backgrounds, organizing local MFK meetups, etc.

Seriously, you have to wonder why you are so defensive about it? I don't have a problem with any seller, conkel included, but there's no point in freaking out because someone pointed out the fact that conkel is controversial... Last time I checked this is an open forum for opinions, if you don't want to hear any other than your own maybe you should start your own website?

And for clarification again, I have had trouble getting responses from sellers in the past when I would have happily purchased fish from them. They often didn't even know I was an MFK member at all, I would just email them asking for a quote and maybe a picture from my personal email account. And from other people I have talked to, this has also happened to them. I am NOT naming names or pointing fingers, I just stated my experience in the past.
