Hello all I'm new to this forum.
When i first found his store, i thought his items where great, very pricey in my opinion but he does have nice stuff. He's very standoffish personality wise and not very friendly IMO and doesn't really share any info. I used to go in there once or twice a week and buy stuff i would spend between 30-50 and i purchased all my live stock from him. I could get the stuff cheaper elseware but it was convenient for me because he was close. Now to the reason i will never go back. I was interested in a flame angel but the fish didn't look right to me, i thought i noticed some white spots (ich), so I asked him if it was healthy and he said yes, so i bought the fish (75.00) for a flame is very high but i bought it anyway, i should have went with my gut and not bought it. I put him in my tank no QT at the time (stupid me, now i Qt everything) and he infected my whole tank it took me 6 months to eradicate the Ich, i even finally left my tank fallow for 4 months. I called him 2 days later and explained who i was and the problem and he basically said it was healthy when it left his store so I'm basically SOL. He lost a good customer over a fish that probably cost him 30.00. I would probably have spent a few thousand dollars in his store over the course of a year. In my opinion bad business. oh and as a side note his prices on fish would change weekly for the same fish.
Just my experience so i thought i should share
thanks
