As I await my shipment, I wanted to comment on my experience thus far with:
https://exoticfishshop.net/product/setiger-silver-dollar/
Years ago I placed an order for an irwini catfish and everything looked like it was a go but then the seller said that he wasnt happy with the condition of the fish. It had some sort of eye issue so he ended up refunding me and I had never ordered anything since. I had no issues with the company, just nothing caught my eye to order over the years. I was actually quite impressed at his honesty.
When I decided I wanted a schooling fish for the 300, I started looking at all my options and the Exotic Fish Shop seemed the way to go. The thing is the fish in question was expensive at $119.99 and the computer only showed 3 in stock. For fun I emailed using the 'contact us' feature of the website. On a Friday evening, I asked if any specials were coming up on this fish and mentioned I was looking for 7 of them. First thing Monday morning I had a response! He happened to have 8 on hand and was willing to sell at $89.99. While you guys can do the math and see this was an expensive order, a $30 discount off on 8 fish was $240. I know Wet Spot had them in the past at $59.99 each, but for me this seemed like the answer I needed right now, so I bought these. They ended up shipping out on Monday, I should see them today... hopefully around noon.
So far from what Ive dealt with Steve at Exotic, Im very pleased. Good communication and speedy service. Will post pics of the order when it comes in, along with thoughts on packaging, etc.
Moral of the story... Don't be afraid to ask for a discount, you never know!
