Here is an awesome link about the issues with somethingsphisy.com. It includes the lawsuit by FedEx (he didn't pay them for shipping the fish...), and other lawsuits (from somethingsphishy and the other company he owned and ripped people off from). This site needs to be read by anyone looking into buying fish from this jerk. He is obviously making a killing off of ripping people off, and is laughing all the way to the bank (since he doesn't pay his shipper!). This link is great. It gives you all his personal info, since he doesn't list it on his website (not even an address!).
I personally bought a FEW fish from them, and only 3 lived. I probably bought 7 - 8 fish from them. The 3 fish that lived weren't even the fish I ordered. Buyer beware.

good going arkmann, I left a review that was a 5 star review on the newest discus in the recently added part. Since I knew they would delete it if it was a 1 star review, I just made it 5 stars and put a bunch of info on them bein a scam and how they should check some sites on teh interenet (including the BBB) before ordering from them.

I ordered 10 juvies from somethingfishy in February. They were beautifully packaged in double bags, styraphome boxes and a heat pack. Arrived in Iowa from Florida in 2 days, all eating in a day, active, healthty beautiful, STILL. I'm VERY happy with my fish. I think all the discus asshats want to put this site down because they are affordable, instead of the VERY over price juvies everyone else sells.
