hello all

just a couple of points i would like to discuss. for those of us that order from importers, have you had any trouble with the fish identifacation from these company's. example the company i most recently used, we ordered 17 species of fish and 15 happened to be something other than what i ordered. the fish that i recieved where definetly not a species that i would have purchased at the price that i eventually paid.

does anyone have good luck with fish identifacation from importers, if so what are the company's that you use?

thanks in advance ken

Whenever I spend a large amount of cash I always ask for pics, and I explain why. I simply state, look-I'm spending alot of money and I want to be 100% certain that I am getting what I am paying for. This is especially important with L numbers as so many look close enough that the exporters will almost always try to get the most expensive L number out of it. May I ask what you ordered and what you actually got? And if you don't mind sharing who the fish were bought from so we can avoid this importer.

a few example's

i receied L-204 i think vs L-270 that i ordered
not sure yet vs L-106
c trilintiatus vs mellini
L-200 instead of L-333
these are just a few examples of what happed so far

Wow! Those aren't even close! Was this an online retailer?

no this is a importer who has been in business a few years now. they actually came highly recommended from other company's. live and learn i guess.
