One very important fact about Aquabid that needs to be expressed is that people
who advertise fish are not bound by the AKA COE,  In fact, there are people
selling Killies on Aquabid who choose to produce their own hybrids and attach
what looks like a valid location code to it.  When I pointed this out to one
seller he sent me an email full of profanity laughing at the AKA COE and telling
me his market was the "newbie" who had no idea what a valid location code meant.

Be very careful.

My suggestion is that anyone considering purchase of killies from Aquabid first
email the seller and ask if he is a member of AKA or is at least aware of what
the AKA COE means.

Peace
john
