Tiger Shovelnose

Nice to hear. Another advice I can give you is to ask for a current picture or video. It helps a lot to if the species and size are correct and how healthy they are.

If they just send some Stock or old image, I would not buy both for the risk and respect.

I did ask for an image but the seller said they can’t supply me with an image because it’s the breeder that send the fish and not them which don’t fill me with confidence. To be honest I’d have been happy with my money back and then I’d have this kettle fella to grow out but I can only hope that I get what I wanted come Thursday

If they don't have the fish in their own store they are not a seller but a trader (don't judge the words, I have no idea how to correctly express them in english)

In germany the biggest name when it comes to buying rare fish is like that, he has like 2 beautiful Aquariums in which he takes great imagines, but everything on his list is sold directly from the importers facility or others stores. And he charges hefty on top of the regular prices. But he at least sends you videos and imagines if you ask him for them. But its cheaper to buy directly from the stores/breeders than via him.

I would not buy in your store tbh. Like, how am I supposed to trust a store that doesn't even know/have visual access to what they are selling?

I hope they send you the correct animal, but if not just stick with them and don't buy there again.

Yes totally agree, the seller ( who I paid ) don’t actually have the fish in three store but they use a distributor/ breeder that ships the fish out to the buyer ( me )

I am hoping that they send the correct fish too. I didn’t pay for the second one as I made the claim and they said that it was a pick error so they said they will send me the correct fish feee of charge but if the next one comes and is not correct I would not go back to them
