I ordered some water plants from a company ( Not sure if I can post their name). They claim to be America's oldest water garden specialist. Plants where better then I hoped for. A catalog was in box with my order. On the fish page was calico shubunkins that where jaw dropping. Some thing is off about photo's color, don't want to spend $$ on delivery and get a fish I could buy anywhere. Am I allowed to post name and ask if anyone got fish from them?

Agree with @sissy about the pics. And am I wrong, or are those fish in the pic upside down....? ( no, just looks odd in that shot.....never mind!) I know of folks who have bought from Ticker (though in person, not online) and we're very pleased with their fish. Not sure what they bought, though. And by definition, Shubies are going to be "calico," anyway, so that's redundant to say "calico Shubunkins."

They have very nice plants and fish.

Problem with ordering online with them is you can't hand pick the fish you want.

I was amazed at how many plants and fish they have at their farm (not to mention supplies) tons of vats with different colored/type of goldfish and koi, separated by size as well.
