Of course I did.
I sold the fish.
Healthy, well acclimated fish.
NO clue what he did to them.
And again, my policy is clear.
You want to pay $70 for a $35 fish so you can have a guarantee, that's fine.
Most people I know are happy to keep the extra cash for themselves.

And yes, he wanted the replacement for free, which was sent right away.
He contacted me weeks later that the second one died.

Ebay : I GUARANTEE THAT I WILL NOT SELL ANY FISH THAT IS NOT FULLY QUARANTEENED, HEALTHY, AND EATING IN MY TANKS. PERIOD!

5/2009
As you can see, Mike was receptive and very responsive to my questions. They have no QT procedure, basically doing what they have to to get the fish in shape for a quick turnover (revive and resell) to the consumer. This, of course, puts the burden of survivability risk on the consumer

pampee, i have heard horrible things about them. I was really tempted to order from them and read about 30 different people say the same thing about them on Reef Central. I actually called and talked to the guy and got a bad vibe from him about what he was telling me so i backed out. I think they have great prices but if the fish come out horrible and die, i could not justify the price. Just my 2 cents. Take it for what it is worth.

I think my clowfish may have died from brooklynella, from an Anthias that was bought on-line =(. Does anyone have experience in treating Brooklynella? We bought the Anthias and a clown fairy wrasse from nyaquatics.com.

All your "positive" reviews seem to be from 2007 that's sad.


Sir, you are not only a cheat, but a liar. You should be ashamed.

2¢ - Screenshots are worth than copy/pastes.

People on Manhattan Reefs say your acclimation process is very bad.
He had good water. 6 clams says something to me.
2hr policy is not what i would expect from a reputable salesmen (LiveAquaria offers 14 day guarantees on everything)
you made him pay extra for a 2 hour guarantee? thats totally unsound.
If a fish dies YOU should be the one to offer a free fish. he should not have had to ask in the first place.

Yes, LA offers 14 days, and charges accordingly.
No, 2 hours is my normal guarantee.
He didn't pay extra for anything. He paid $17.50 for 2 clown fairy wrasses, both of which died under his care. Don't know why.

OK, so I should just replace anyone whose fish dies. Ever?
who's going to pay for that? All the people who don't kill their fish, that's who.

The only way anyone offers guarantees is to build extra margins into their fish prices.
Fish die. It happens. Believe me, LA or anyone else isn't replacing fish out of the goodness of their hearts. They've already been paid for these replacements in their prices.

Compare my prices with anyone else that offers extended guarantees.

And nobody on MR who's been to my place, and seen my setup, has anything bad to say about me or my fish.

I guarantee I still sell more fish to MR members than all other vendors combined.

Sorry for your loss rockfish what a horrible thing to have to prove

ohhh and this is a complete lie as well:


He paid $17.50 for 2 clown fairy wrasses, both of which died under his care. Don't know why.


bull####.....i paid 37.50 + 17.50 for the first fish and then you threw the second fish at me and made me pay 17.50 for shipping anyway with came looking like ####....again please don't lie

i'd love to scan the packing slip and post it up here if you'd like just to prove i'm not a liar

please just admit you (and i at times) handled this whole thing the wrong way


or are you going to threaten to sue me some more??

The first fish was $34.95.
He paid shipping both times, $17.50, which I said.

So he paid a total of $34.95 for 2 fish, plus shipping which goes to Fedex.

And yes, I did handle it wrong.
I never should have given you the second fish n/c.

Your father is a disgusting human being, who talks like someone from the 1950's.
You think the way to get things in this world is by threatening people.

good ridance to both of you.

I don't know whay you mean by "post the packing slip".
What "proof" are you looking for?

HIS FATHER HAS PASSED

#######

Well I spoke today to somebody who identified himself as his father.
And he (I believe) sent a bunch of emails posing as his father (referring to do this for my son....).

OH MY FAIL!
you just admitted you lied!

im sure you get a cut of the shipping too. (stop lying we all know)

AND YOUR BEING A DOUCHE!

GTFO this site...
4evar pleash.

you are a horrible human being and you should just stop digging urself a bigger hole......stop while you still have some kind of customer base please......

Man, I'm too old for this.
I don't understand 1/2 of this garbage.

How did I lie, and I don't get a cut of shipping.
Thanks anyway.

What is "pleash"?

you are a horrible human being and you should just stop digging urself a bigger hole......stop while you still have some kind of customer base please......

you could have avoided all this by just giving me back the 35 dollars.......instead what do you do??? you refund me the money for the shipping on the second fish......gee.......thanks

and i'm not a nut and would never refer to myself as my father.......that's just sick

nate, do your parents know you're awake and on the internet?

Hmm, I believe that this thread should be preserved as a prime example as exactly how two parties should not go about settling a dispute.

Perhaps cast in bronze, or engraved on fine Athenian marble?

your point, kiddo?

Rockfish my admiration for you grows leaps and bounds every time this guy posts. I want to cuss him out but, I'm not sure he would understand all the big words.

I don't understand how you can justify dead fish by saying yours are cheap. Dead fish SHOULD be cheap. They are dead. Your logic is you sell things cheap, so its ok if they show up dead. How is that not stupid? LA adds a "margin" for a reason, and that reason is "people don't want dead fish". I can take 20$ and flush it down the toilet, it would be the same as buying a fish from you BUT I wouldn't have to deal with an abusive idiot.

thanks.....and it's been very hard since dad passed.....i'm 26 years old and don't have the luxury of talking to my afther anymore....he was 66

but i'm sure not mentally unstable and i would NEVER EVER tell anyone that i'm my father.......theer is soooo much wrong with that





can't disagree with you there......but i was only trying to get what's fair
