I have but never got any fish from there..
-
I have lots of times, Just becareful of where you go !!! Dont want to end up hurt :(
-
awesome site, i have gotten plenty of fish from there
-
I look at it once& awhile. I know many people who have ordered fish off of it, but i haven't myself
-
I have many times in the past but not in quite a while now. Just keep an eye on peoples feedback. For instance I bought wild Lwandas from a guy on there who has a well know import business(forgot the name) his feedback was 100% out of over 500 transactions and successful shippings of fish. Needless to say I was very confident my fish would arrive alive, and they did, I have dealt with them direct a few times now.
Another time a guy had decent feedback but not 100% He didn't list his shipping price and didn't respond to my msgs. I wanted the fish bad and he was in Illinois so I thought fine I'll buy it how bad could it be he's practically a neighbor......... $117 to ship overnight from Illinois for 12 1" fry!!!!!!!!! I went 2 day which I hated to do and I am not sure the guy could have shipped them successfully overnight as in 2 attempts all arrived dead!!!!
Just watch peoples ratings and don't deal with people who won't answer questions and it is a great site with many species listed

I've window shopped, but never purchased. Sometimes the deals seem too good to be true. Other times they are very much a rip-off. And there's also that third aspect that Gmaschke hinted at - competency of the person shipping the fish.
In the end I've always bought from within MI.

Ive ordered from there lots of times, got some pretty good deals on there, but the last time i ordered .I paid for the goods and never got them ,and the guy give me bad feedback... :(

I visit the site from time to time-I purchased some fish from a gentleman from Howell, Michigan and stopped by his home to get the fish on my way to the East Side-- :-X--of the state to buy fish at Fantastic Fins. I keep looking for a certain fish there-but-the bids can really go higher than I wish to pay- ???-then the shipping- >:(- But....if a person really wants the fish-they will buy them.
.....that reminds me...need to check out the site again... 8)

the shipping cost keeps me from buying fish very often from that site. I just to find more local sellers
