Group Order for Hawaiian Fish Part Two

[hawkfish21]

Ok everyone, attached is a list of what everyone wants and the amount of the order minus shipping. Please confirm here if everything is Ok. Once everyone confirms, I will send this to him. Delivery is scheduled for next Sunday (7/30). I will arrange payment details with him. I figured we could take shipping charges and divide it by the number of people. If anyone has a different way, let's discuss.

Alright everyone,

In fairness to Alex, no more changes. I am sending this list now. I am still working out shipping & payment details. I will keep everyone updated. I still need 2 people to confirm.

[alikatoes]

Please be aware that I wont be able to get evreything, but I will have a good selection of substitutes. I will make a page on my website dedicated to this GB. It should be up in no more than 3 days, so you all can see pics of specimens, housing conditions, etc.

[hawkfish21]

What won't you be able to get? It would be a little crazy for people to be fighting over a fish. Is there any chance you could get that list up tonight? If not, I don't see how we can complete this by the weekend. It would take a few days for everyone to respond. Let me know if I can help.

[alikatoes]

Not likley- Dwarf eel, snowflake eel, dussemeri,
Flame wrasse are hard to get (but I am dedicating 2 entire dives), usally not a problem.
I only have one crosshatch female, but she is paired up with a male and I dont want to break them up.

Buying from a diver is much different than a retail store. I must seek all these fish out and collect/hold/ ship myself. I am at the mercy of the weather and the unperdictablity of the sea. Some days I catch a ton, some days I catch very little. You just never know, so please be patient with me. It will pay off in quality/price of specimens. If all goes accroding to plan, the fish yall are getting wont be older than 5 days. Cant really beat that anywhere.

[hawkfish21]

Happy diving and Good Luck!:)

[cubuffs]

Alex, please do your best to complete these orders. You are helping us out greatly, and we do appreciate it. Thank you for your candor and honesty, and I cannot wait to see what you send us!

[rmougey]

Hmmmm........

I read the list as a stock list, not a price list.... having previously dealt with other divers in Hawaii that ship.

I fully understand the fickle nature of the ocean, weather and chance critter encounters.

That said, I'll wait to see what gets posted, but the driving factor for my order was a female crosshatch as a companion for my male. It doesn't make good financial sense to order one fairly common fish, like the chevron tang, by itself.

Alex,

How did day 1 of the dive go today?

[Malama_Kai]

hawkfish21

My order looks great.

If it isn't a secret can you tell me where you are diving?

I have lived in Makaha and Kameula on the Big Island and know the islands pretty well. Do you do any diving around the Leeward?

I have to tell you I am jealous, no need for a tank in Hawaii.

I know what you mean. Companions are good for fish, maybe next time I can find some single women for your guy.

[alikatoes]

Sorry for late reply, I had a 2 day diving marathon. I got nearly everthing on the list. I will give Hawkfish21 the lowdown.

Malama- I dove the first dayy outside of Nanakuli (before Makaha) and the second on the leeward side. The Leeward is great but the Navy is doing all kinds of crazy training excerises so its kind of strange. Weather was perfect today, but we are getting the tailend of a hurrincane by friday. Good thing I went diving today, I wouldnt have been able to go again before yalls order ships.

[djmod45]

Awesome! I can't wait to hear the details :).

[Devaji108]

to bad I miss out on this group order ;( any one whant to do it again an a month??
one Q? can you get hippo tangs?
thanks

[hawkfish21]

I don't believe that Hippo Tangs come from Hawaii.

[pecan2phat]

You guys are lucky.
Alex (alikatoes) is a great guy and I have participated in 2 group buys from Alex with our reef club and 1 personal purchase.

It's a shame that we won't be getting anymore GBs in NY. Good luck on the GB guys!
