Hi all, discus.com had Brennan marketing some beautiful wilds. Can I do a reference check from this forum, if anyone has bought from them? THANKS.

Stay Far far away...as unethical as it gets!
Thx all
Agreed, terrible seller and not a sponsor!
I purchased several fish from him several months ago and all did very well and look beautiful. No disease noted and are like pigs from the get go.
So what if he’s not a sponsor or if he used others non copywrited pictures. Now a days it’s very common practice in business. Just take a look at aquabid. Minor indiscretion compared to what goes on today in the world, at large anyway.
It's not something I would do. It is unethical. If someone steals he will cheat if he gets a chance. I'm glad you had a good experience and saved a few bucks.

I imagine that it would cost too much to be worth it. He knows that. It's why he keeps doing it even after being informed.

They came from J W in Florida
But so what. He's just a trans-shipper. Like just about everyone else.
He sold me healthy fish for a great price and was very helpful over the phone and with email exchanges. At most you can point out that he uses other peoples pictures but to brand him as unethical and sue him. Absolutely stupid IMO. Good luck with legal action. LOL
Using someone else's photos without their permission is a violation of f-e-d-e-r-a-l copyright laws. Does anyone care to mess with the U.S. (federal) government? Is it okay for us to break one law but not another?
This what I figured Andy. However the owner discus.com is a discus broker, not a trans-shipper. When discus are sold thru discus.com Michael contacts any discus vendor who will work for him and send him the buyer's order which the discus vendor then ships to the buyer. Hopefully the buyer gets fish close to what he ordered. To the best of my knowledge the only discus vendor working with Michael is Gabe at Wattleys. Michael does not actually have any fish on his premises even thru the website claims to have 30,000 discus on site.
Here the buyer did not get the fish he ordered and it was not close enough to make him happy http://forum.simplydiscus.com/showth...s-exact-discus.
So this guy is simply clever at building websites.
