Sorry to hear of your troubles, hope everything works out. To be honest, this isn't that hard of a fish to source.

Ok then who has a Fowleri in stock?

if it was someone that contacted you thru r2r, you can hit that little report bell at the bottom. if it wasnt thru r2r, than no there isnt anything to do here

Maybe nobody right now. If you don’t see it at one of the 10-12 known reputable vendors then you are bound to get scammed a second time if you do find it listed somewhere.

As @Dr. Reef or another reputable vendor to source you one. If they can’t, then there are none easily available.

Best of luck. It’s a shame that you lost money.

I am really sorry to hear you lost money. I'll be honest with you that fish is not in the market and I haven't seen it in a while either. So I'll keep an eye out and once I see it at wholesalers I'll let you know even if you don't buy from us. I don't want you to lose money.

That's a bummer. Is it something that is collected seasonally? I know certain fish you can only get at certain times of the year.

One other place that is a wholesale type shop is Violet Aquariums in San Jose. They move stuff and update their lists Wednesday and weekends. They have Fowleri listed as well, but sold out right now.

Shop in Los Angeles. Just checked their Instagram looks legit, their scam.com page listing says they are legit. They all sizes available online, so you can check or call them.

Also looks like someone ordered a few months ago on R2R and had a good experience.

I just called them he said someone local bought what he had and he told me to call back next week

I'd call LAX Aquarium and ask if they can source it. Kris there has access to all the wholesale places that come through the port of LA.

Sorry you got scammed...

so many red flags... as soon as someone says friends and family, you say no. There is zero reason for them to ask for friends and family, you can just offer to cover the extra % fee paypal charges, then what excuse they going to use?

Unless it is your mother, do not use F&F ever.. maybe not even then depending on your mom lol

Like what is a Recifataquarium anyways.. no one picks that name lol and they show EVERY fish in stock... like they magically have 401 different fish?

I just ughh.. you got me facepalming irl. Don't feed these scammers.

Another scam is Exotic Aquatic Petstore. They are associated with Active Shippers who is another scam . Names include Todd Dotson, Grace Morgan, Virginia Dempsey number is 325-213-0097! Beware

So came across these characters “Reciataquarium” who had Bandits listed for $1000. Knew that was BS but decided to engage. The chat is AI, all of the video’s they sent me to prove they were real were also AI generated and some I had seen before, They sent me a tank video full of BAndits that they said were recently collected in HAwaii becasue its wide open for business, chatted with the fake long enough to get them to repeat the same can responses. THYE ARE 100% SCAM.
