I ordered a tigrinus catfish 3 weeks ago from riverwonders.com. they get back to me 3 weeks later and say they dont have the tig yet... anybody ever deal with them before? also, I think I may have read the other night that some govt. stopped exporting tigs... is that true?

Sorry to tell you bro, but I've read that these guys have a bad rep. Do a google search and read peoples complaints. Hope you get your tig, or at least your money back. Good luck.

Make sure you read through the PayPal rules and regs. I think you have like 45 days to file a complaint. Even with that, you'll find it tough. Sorry to hear of your troubles.

I just sent them an email cancelling my order outright... vanimate, you're the man. thanks for the insight there. I know this will be a fight but i'm getting my money back... and then sticking to aquascape... good people down there... but does anybody know of some kind of ban on the exportation of tigrinus cats? anybody know where I could get a baby one?

That's a shame - the website is so promising. I know online shopping is a good source of rare fish, but this is just another example of my golden rule - don't hand over the cash until the product's in your hand...
Hope you get your cash back.
