what do you think of him??

Nice looking fish. But where are you putting him? I thought you were leaving the fish from Rain Garden by himself in the 29? Also, your 50 is stocked to capacity or over already. Also, what happened to the orange and white oranda that was in your 29 gallon before the RG oranda arrived? Don't want to see you get in over your head with both tanks overstocked, and the fish suffering from bad water quality.

Ed has very good lifestock for the most part. We buy from one another from time to time. Check for Gill Flukes

Gasping, yawning, dorsal flicking, scratching. All can indicate gill flukes.

Around a C note?

You USED to be a member of Koko's. Please. You might just be the only person who believes that. This guy is a joke. He buys fish, puts them in uncycled tanks, kills them because his tanks are uncycled and overstocked, and then buys newer and better ones. He has been through probably 10 Orandas since Christmas, and has so many alter egos he posts under that even he can't keep them straight. Supposedly, his "cousin" is posting on Koko's now and wants to buy a fish from Dandy Orandas. Quit killing fish and telling crazy stories dude, it's starting to be sad.

What's wrong with that statement? He used to be a member at Koko's. It's the truth. But thanks for following him over here and signing up just to continue your attacking.

Stay over at Koko's with the "in crowd" and leave this thread alone if you can't be positive or constructive.

Hmmm, another alter ego maybe? I am not attacking anyone. I just have no respect for people who continue to make the same mistakes and kill fish, with no effort made to learn and do things correctly. Almost all of us started doing things the wrong way, but we learn the right way to do things with time. He has killed or disposed of I don't know how many fish since Christmas. Half the fish that were in his 50 gallon tank just a week or so ago are now gone. How does anyone think that is ok? Has nothing to do with being a member of any "in crowd" whatever that is supposed to mean. If being in the "in crowd" means I take care of my fish to the best of my abilities, then so be it. We all tried to educate Jayhawks on how to best care for his lovely fish, but he refused to listen. Then all the alter egos came, and the trolling. If that is what you accept over on this forum, then I will stay on Koko's with the "in crowd" because I don't like to see innocent animals suffer.

The "in-crowd" I'm referring to is the group that every forum has that is "above" everyone else. I don't know you, or who you are on that forum.

My point of contention comes from the fact that he is obviously trying to learn to keep fish and just getting started (albeit while making some mistakes). Whatever happened on that other site has no bearing on here, so let him have a fresh start, and don't blow up his posts on here because of that.

Technically, he isn't new to fishkeeping. He says he kept fish for years about 5 years ago. So he should know what he is doing already. And getting rid of 10-15 fish like he has is not making SOME mistakes, that is just blatant carelessness. I'm not blowing up anyone's posts, I want him to realize that what he is doing is not right. And continuing to buy more expensive and bigger fish is going to make no difference if they aren't cared for correctly. And there is no "in crowd" at Koko's. We all help everyone out and support everyone. Obviously you aren't a member there if you don't know that.

Rick, I don't know who you are, but we have never purchased anything from you. Don't mislead anyone here on that point.

To clarify, these fish are from Thailand. Please check your facts before assuming where these fish came from. We haven't imported from China in over 3 years.

Our fish are healthy, We screen them for disease, and quarantine for at least 30 days before they are even made available to ship. We have sold thousands of fish since our inception in 2004, and our testimonial page proves our quality and service: Testimonials
