I wouldn't chance it but that's just me. I will only buy a fish if I can pick it out myself or if I trust someone to look at it and tell me if they think it's good or not. Also remember that quality is worth the price...at least it is to me. You get what you pay for. The fish may be culls, or may be stunted, etc. I'm not saying that they ARE, I'm simply saying to look out for those things and don't be surprised if that is what he receives if he never sees a picture of the actual fish. Don't forget the shipping charges as well!
