I have to say hands down for ODDBALL freshwater fish. This store is small, and im very impressed with the fish he had.

fish I give a 9. a lot of Oddball fish

prices i give a 9.8 He was trying to make deals with me (I saved money on mky purchase, about 30-40%)

store hrs I give a 2.0 You have to make an appoint. with him to see the fish. But on the other hand, Im happy I did

Overall I have to go with 8.5 (thats only cause of the store hrs)

I will be going out of my way (aprox. 30 miles) to go and shop at this fish store

It's not my thing to bash someone but All happy has to be one of the worst people I have ever TRIED to deal with. Horrible customer skills. I would never attempt to deal with him again. I would ask a couple questions, 3 days later he would reply with the answers to someone elses questions. I called and left messages and never got a call returned. We were ordering alot of fish and someof us even used him before. Never again after this. It makes you appreciate guys like N.E. Cichlids and ECSZ. After everone bailed from the order because they didnt want to deal with him anymore, I attempted to purchase 5 or 6 smaller fish from him nd he wanted $160 for shipping I had three boxes of fish from NE Cichlids come and itwas only $60

Sucks to hear that... Ive been going to him for a while now and everything is the total opposite... even kicked me down with some free fish and small tanks. If you try to talk to him on the web... it is very hard to get in contact with him. Once your there its a diff story... probly why he is still in business even thou he dont return peoples PM much.

Sorry to hear about your experience... JMO (im sure quite a few diff SoCal-ers also)

Oh trust me I wish i lived close to that store. Im sure I would be a regular there. His stock list is super and im sure he is a busy guy.

IMO I would take on the public if I wasn't ready and I do buy and sell alot off ebay and I keep in contact before and during the whole transaction. I know it makes me comforable with a person i buy from so i use it when I sell something.

I dont know....what i do know is the fish i ordered from Nick were only $60 for shipping...the fish TREASURECHEST sent last night were only $60....talking to Jeff Rapps his shipping was only $50 and when I ordered from Aquascape my shipping was $50....Lots of my friends had ECZS ship to them and it was around $60 so you can see why I wouldnt pay $160 to have ALL Happy ship fish to me.

I had similar experience after paying and waiting for delivery. I was leaving Numerous messages without answer. Finally I received refund and was told of his very busy schedule. It's unfortunate because this stock are unique but I'm big into customer service even if it's paying higher prices.

I just received a beautiful Bagarius yarrelli and a Merodontotus tigrinus (scientific name has been changed to Brachyplatystoma tigrinum) from Ted at All-Happy and the entire transaction went smoothly. The specimens arrived in perfect condition exactly when they were supposed to, communication was good, and he called on the phone to make sure they had arrived safely. There was a slight delay when communicating via email prior to shipment, but not everyone stays at their computer 24 hours a day waiting to instantaneously answer incoming messages. I thought the delay (which was extremely minor) was both expected and completely understandable. Anyway, big thumbs up for this vendor.
