Has anyone had any experience with this vendor?

Do NOT deal with this vendor, puts more time into making his website looking great with not even pictures of his own fish than actually breeding quality fish. There is a reason most people in the know won't deal with him, and I'm speaking from my personal experience. Sent me a bunch of F1 RSG and med Blue Face heckels that died within 2 days of arriving and then only wanted to credit me for future purchase, not refund my money. Nothing was wrong with my water parameters and I slowly acclimated them over 2 hours. Then tried to make up for it by sending me a mated pair of my choice...sends me pictures of pairs he has and after I pick them, he tried to pass some other fish that did not even look close to the pictures he sent me. Needless to say, I have not dealt with him ever again and would suggest everyone stay far away from Tom Meadors.

Recent very bad deal...Sick fish, DOA's, wrong fish, bad packaging, you name it.....Best spend your money with a sponsor...

[James McGuire]

Thanks everyone for the heads up and stopping me from making the same mistake that I made with Somethingphishy. At least with Somethingphishy I only lost 1 of the 4 that I ordered, but they weren't-aren't the strain that I ordered.

why you need go to other vendor and why don't you try our own vendor they have plenty beautifull fish :)

I thank my lucky stars that I found Simply and bought from one of our sponsors, Kenny Cheung. Three times, and I only lost 1 fish from the 25 purchased over the last 2 years.They are exactly what I ordered, too- I can look back at the old threads and see my fish in his pics.

It seems that my experience is somewhat contrary to eveyone else's but I purchased from him once and had no issues whatsoever. I would buy from him again except that April now brings in all the fish that I would ever need
