"Quality Fish!"
This was my third time ordering online, but first through Eric. The expirience was everything I hoped it would be. The fish were accurately described on site, he did send pics of specific fish on request. They came across the country and arrived in great condition and were exactly as promised. I ordered larger fish, 3" or larger and even a couple of his show fish (very impressive). a total of 12 and all are still alive and doing great after 4 weeks. Eric was very helpful and responded to phone and emails promptly. He is one to make sure people are happy with their fish. Out of the 3 online sellers I have used in the past. Eric is my first choice from now on. I just wish he didnt sell out so fast or I would have made a larger order. I will order again in the future (waiting for availablitly of fish from Eric, even though I could purchase them from other online retailers now)

"Amazing...That's All I Can Say!"
Not only are the Peacocks/Haps that I received better than I imagined, but so was the sevice by Erik. Erik spent an hour and ten minutes on the phone with me answering every question I had. I let him know I was new to the hobby and that is all he needed to hear. If you have the pleasure of talking to him you will quickly realize that he is passionate about this hobby. I noticed that he actually enjoyed talking about the species I wanted and to say he knows his stuff would be an understatement. Now onto the fish. I ordered a total of 6 fish which all arrived healthy and professionally packaged. After getting them into the tank I realized that they were even bigger than listed. I could go on and on about Dykemyster's Fish and how Erik treated me as if I was his #1 customer/friend. If you are in the market for some top quality fish from a top quality guy, Erik is your man. Do youself a favor and give him a call, you won't be disappointed.

"Made a trip to see his selection.."
Found this supplier online early in the week and was able to set up a saturday appointment to see their selection. Wow... Amazing setup and incredbly diverse selection of african cichlids... Erik has worked to collect the strains of species you just don't see anywhere else but in the most educated of cichla owners. Spent time going over my goals and my setup along with helping select fish that would fit my needs and still give me that "wow" we all want in our tanks.. Be sure to check out http://dykemyster.com for his lists from monthly shipments and his aquabid listing.. If they all loved their hobby like Erik, we could all have beautiful setups and healthy Africans...

"Champ Caeruleus"
I was having a tough time finding Champ Caeruleus in Canada, and found Erik's website. I try to avoid buying online, but he was quick to respond, and very friendly. We went over some of his fishlist, oincluding the champs. I ended up ordering a larger male and some small ones to grow out. I also got some Chilotilapia rhoadesii. Erik made a huge effort to ship the fish the NEXT MORNING (we spoke @ 9 pm) to get them to Buffalo as I would be in the area the next day. The fish arrived triple bagged, heat packed, and in tremendous condition. I drove them home, acclimated them, and they are eating like pigs today. A fantastic member of the hobby, and a real pleasure to do business with. Erik is prompt, professional, and has some really hard to find fish. I have a big tank to stock, and will DEFINITELY be ordering from Dykemysters in the future. Absolutely 100% recommended.

"Great fish and excellent customer service."
I've purchased from several online retailers and Dykemyster's has been the best experience. Beautiful fish, great communication, fast shipping and competitive prices. Erik was extremely helpful answering any questions I had and for working up multiple quotes before I finally decided on which fish I wanted. I highly recommend Dykemyster's and look forward to doing business with Erik again in the future.

"Whoa, what a Cichlid dealer"
I just want to let you folks know that if you are looking for some great quality fish, Dykemyster's fish is the place to go. I have ordered from Erik many times and have been extreeeemy pleased. They package the fish very securly and he is very accomodating as to how you wish to have the fish sent to you. I have had the good fortune to meet Erik & see his operation in South Carolina, Top Knotch!! Fish are very well kept & are in a very clean, healthy environment. He is also very accomodating in answering any fish question you have in regards to: Fish compatibility, Fish health & food, tank set ups and everything else cichlids. He is quick to answer e-mails & is just an overall pleasure to deal with. If you are looking for a fish that he may not have, he will go the extra mile to find it for you. BUY YOUR FISH FROM THE DYKEMYSTER, YOU CANNNOT GO WRONG WITH ERIK.

"Great fish from a well run business !!!!"
This is my first time buying from Erik and probably my 4th buying online. I received a beautiful trio of hap phenos and my male is just starting to speckle up; a 8" venustus on steroids with awesome color. Erik replied quickly with emails regarding FedEx, stock, billing, etc. If you're nervous about ordering online, don't be, these guys make it easier than going to the LFS.

"Best of the Best!"
I won an auction for some Pseudotropheus sp. Williamsi. I was a bit nervous about spending so much on fish as they are fairly hard to come by. I have to say that my experience with Erik and Jules left me thinking I under paid. The fish are extremely beautiful and healthy. Eating right out of the bag! It was obvious that they were well cared for. The packaging was top notch and labeled well. They arrived extremely fast. Within 24 hours of paying I was looking at my new fish in the tank. Both Erik and Jules communicated with me very well and were helpful and friendly. I have used many online fish breeders. I Highly recommend Dykemyster. They get an A+ all the way.

"Great Experience!!"
I actually live 100 miles north of him in Columbia, emailed Erik and he was kind enough to meet me on a Sunday and walk me thru all of their fish. Great fish and great person to deal with. I will definitely be getting all my fish from him!!

"Excellent Retailer! "
I've ordered fish from Erik numerous times and I'm always pleasantly surprised! Their stock list, their quality of fish and their promptness with the shipping can't be beat! But most importantly, he's extremely personable and very knowledgeable. I highly recommend him!

"Stunning fish at a great price!"
I got my first order from Erik today. A trio of Taiwan Reefs and a trio of Ngaras. The fish were as advertised, healthy and beautiful. I am sure that this will be my first order of many in the future.
