Quick, shall i buy him???

Post by crystal on Thu Aug 06, 2009 10:07 pm

Whilst browsing ebay i found this guy and am very tempted. Hubby has given the green light, even though i think he's a touch pricey! Here's the link

Just my personal opinion, but for £29 (inc postage) I'd want better scaling.

i prefer the red dragon hes got for sale lol
but that one is nice - if your looking to replace albert with a yellow hun then wait until you really find one you want - this one isn't very yellowy really
i would wait for one you really want unless you really want him

hes got 29 days to run

This is why i'm umming and arring! I really need to fill the gap that Albert has left but want some sort of yellow halfmoon. There is a hm butterfly on there as well but i don't think he's worth what the seller is asking either! Ooohhh Albert why did you have to die!!!!!!!

The scaling will not get better with age and he is not 3.5 months old. None of his fish are this young. But either way he is a nice fish but i would wait until you find another one as he aint the best ive seen, if you want him for breeding then dont, the anal fin is too long and youll get crap fish. I'm in an open and honest mood tonight so im speaking my mind :D

That\'s cool, thankyou all for being honest, i can\'t stand people that lie just to try make you feel better! I thought i\'d ask though cause i thought he was overpriced but hubby is trying really hard to make me happy after losing my boy. I\'m gonna hold out for a real stunner, or at least one that really grabs my heart!

Im not sure if i can put it on, cause a link was deleted the other day from the same seller, i think he\'s banned from here or something?? Um i\'ll try, but you take the blame cause you asked lol

Deleted!

The Hm Butterfly, again IMO, is very pricey for what is not a good example of a Butterfly. Not when you compare it to the ones that Tilly has just got and our old guy Taro who cost about the same.

I used that seller, my only complaint was that the fish doesn't look the same kind of colours as the pics. Am I allowed to say that?

Um, ok the link was deleted. Guess not. Sorry mods. Sad
