I made my first purchases from AquaBid.com

[gheitman]

After only buying fish at my LFS I finally broke down and purchased some through AquaBid.com. My LFS just wasn't getting in what I wanted. I purchased some apistos (baenschi, agassizi and panduro) as well as some juvenile blood red jewel cichlids. I've been very happy with my purchases and intend to get some more soon. The sellers I dealt with were apistodave and rarefishatlax.

Very pretty fish. Congrats!!

wow, awsome fish. Congrats! good pictures too

I wasn't too thrilled with the picture of the Apisto baenschi so I am going to post another picture. The first picture really didn't do justice to the coloration it displays.

 

[WaterPond]

yes, the 2nd pic is much better, really great colours! I wish i lived in the US so i could buy off aquabid

I've been very happy with the purchases I've made through there so far. It has allowed me to get fish that I never see at my LFS.

 

[WaterPond]

yeah, thats why i wish i lived in the US. I wish there was a canadian aquabid

does not look like you are that far over the border you could make a friend on the U.S. Side , i suppose you can not transport the fish back to the canada side though

anyways REALLY cool fish!!! i need to start using aquabid

I have had a great time buying and selling on AquaBid. They have a feedback system like eBay, and a feedback forum as well, where you can do a search for the seller or buyer you're dealing with.

I've never had a bad experience or dead animal/plant buying there. Both of the sellers you dealt with, gheitman, have stellar reputations for nice fish and good shipping practices.

They're lovely-congratulations!
