Sorry you all. After being in the Amazon for two months, the humidity has really gotten to my camera and is not functioning any more. Hope to have photos up soon from a friends camera. Digital SLR's have a bad time in the Amazon.
 
I just wanted all to be aware of this being a possible scam. I tried to purchase 2 fish and was told to send my money up front to a paypal account from a free yahoo e-mail. I replied requesting information such as fish size, pickup location, pictures of the fish, details about how long it will take to get the fish and verification of that I'm actually dealing with the person listed in the signature. I mean anyone can pick a persons name from the internet and say they are that person and create a fee yahoo e-mail account and put that persons name in the signature, but that doesn't verify the persons identity. I quickly got a reply e-mail from the seller who refused to give any information about the fish being sold or details. Then the person actually refused to sell me a fish based on my "tone". This may be a legit transaction, but it just seems fishy that the person would demand the money up front before willing to provide any information about the transaction and once questioned refused to sale me anything at all? It's also weird how now the persons camera doesn't work and as a result can't provide any pictures? Hopefully I'm wrong and this is legit, but 5 feedback scores doesn't guarentee anything and I'm not willing to pay up front for anything unless I know the person and can trust that person.

You're wrong! He's legit! There are several local members bought from him and can vouch for him. He's not a business man. He refused to do business with you, not because of your "tone," but because you're in Guam! I don't know how many time he has to post NO SHIPPING for people to realize that!
 
He is the real deal bro. I've been to his place to pick up fish the last time he brought in goodies.
Check his old F/S threads... They speak for themselves :D
 
Either you trust Anthony or you don't, if you don't trust him then there's more fish for the rest of us to buy. The reason he needs the deposit up front is because he isn't a business like jlnguyen74 said and out of pocket cost can be huge. I have bought from him before and he's a busy guy so that's why there is no shipping. Perhaps you were asking for something illegal so that's why he refused to sell to you or the fact that you wanted the fish shipped. And if your going to use feedback as a reason to trust someone or not, shouldn't your (0) feedback raise flags.

I can vouch for the professor. He comes into my work all the time and is trustful. He is no scammer.
