WTB Red Severum and clown loaches

Please be VERY clear about the terms of the transaction....before catching fish and bringing them to this guy.

I had the misfortune of bringing some fish to the meeting yesterday - exactly what I told him that I would bring him...even brought an extra (free) fish - and he refused them...

"I'll bring 6 of the sevs. I can't guarantee that they'll be 2" - they're fry growing out. I'll get a couple of larger ones, though..."

No bueno.

Matt no disrespect but I was hoping for at least 2 incher and you mention will bring 6, there were 3 1incher and 3 half inch ??? I can't do anything with it however I was lucky to buy a couple of 6 incher from a fellow mfk.

Look dude, as far as I'm concerned, I brought you exactly what I agreed to bring you. And even threw in an extra.

I shouldn't have to tell you this, but it would have been common courtesy to let me know that you didn't want the fish if any of them were less than 2"....before I caught them, bagged them and brought them to the meeting.

And I'm more than happy to have given them to a good friend and member...

As I said before, No Bueno...

Kevin-

Just so you know, Matt is sort of like CCA's model citizen and poster child for "how to be forthright and upstanding in all dealings with all people all the time". If you managed to get him honked off, which I didn't believe possible, then you likely messed up and any criticism on his part is merited. Just saying, expectation and accountability run in both directions and if you do stuff to rankle our best and brightest, no one is going to want to play with you.

Cheers.

OUR CONVO-


It's the cafeteria. Check out the "directions" link on home page.

I'll bring 6 of the sevs. I can't guarantee that they'll be 2" - they're fry growing out. I'll get a couple of larger ones, though...

It will be $15.

Thanks,
Matt

You can clearly see how much I express I want 2 incher- you bought some so small i can't even see it... If I don't like the product and the product is not what a buyer was asking for, I don't think i'm obligated to buy. It was my first ACC meeting, I came early at 12 to help out with all tables and chairs as I feel like this could be a good club to join for fish hobbyist. you pretty much ruin my experience, and by ruining this thread you pretty much made it clear that when a seller brings something opposite of what a buyer is asking he should still be obligate to buy it or he's is ruin in forum.

I believe Matt is definitely a good person, however I think he made such a big deal over something we "both" may be accountable for... I guess i should have bought it anyway even though it was not as describe, so we all can save time and Matt can be happy.

Relax

My mistake for weighing in - oops, apologies - but can't fault anyone too much for trying to be protective of club members. Stuff happens, it's done, finished, let it go, no one's bleeding.

CCA is a learning experience for everyone. See you at the next meeting, which as always, will be better than the last one.

Kevin - I brought no fish that were so small as to be hardly visible...and I made it darn clear - I think - that I couldn't guarantee that the fish would each be 2".

I'll chalk it up to a misunderstanding. But I've never had this happen to me before...

If you'd like, I'll talk to the guy who I gave them to an he can give me the actual lengths of the 7 fish that I brought you (for the price of 6).

I'm done talking about this...

I have 1m/2f red severums in my 125, looks like a pair and one odd female. They're about 5" now, the male just a bit larger. I've been growing them out for almost 2 years now, paid $40/each for them when they were a couple inches smaller. I can ship if necessary, what would you say would be a fair price for the odd female?
