Title: Durkin's
Post by: SKISWETPETS on September 30, 2012, 09:26:47 PM
So I was in the Petsmart today in Traverse City. Checkin out the fish before we made our way back home, and there were some Yellow Band Moori Cichlids in the one tank that my wife really liked. She says we should get some of these. It got me wondering, does Peter Durkin possibly supply the Petsmarts with these. Cause I remember seeing quite a nice selection at his place last summer. Just wondering if anyone know's. I did not purchase by the way, I mentioned to my wife I could probly get some from someone on here. Another question do the Durkin's ship?

Kid that comes into my store a lot has them at there store and they have them there also and he says they get there fish from a pet. I don't this these fish are something they should be trying to sell due to the fact they are so prone to bloat and fail to inform the customer of this. But I guess its there way of getting return customers.

lol, you been hitting the bottle tonight?  Your post isn't making too much sense.


To answer your question Ski, I doubt Pete would ship fish to you.  His typical order is usually shipped air freight, and he typically will only sell to stores unless it's a special event (like a fishroom tour).  Occasionally he'll bring Tropheus to the auction, but it can vary from auction to auction.

Regalblue should give lessons on smartphone usage.  I don't think he even owns a pc.

Yep, that would be correct.  I still do NOT own a computer

Ok. Thanks guys... I really didn't figure he dealt too much with just the general public. And was pretty sure someone here would be able to answer my question.
