RD. Posted June 25, 2015 Report Share Posted June 25, 2015 This topic came up on another forum several months back. Bred in Taiwan, possibly hybrids, and IMO ridiculously overpriced by some vendors. Some of the online vendors in the US were selling them for $120, some of the various LFS for twice that amount. But I agree, $399.00 is insane. I wouldn't own them if offered to me for free. They were released from Taiwan at the same time as the hump head heckelii now on the market. http://goldfishmessage.blogspot.ca/2014/07/blog-post_30.html https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=13FYXVpZp2A Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cjerrom Posted June 26, 2015 Report Share Posted June 26, 2015 I have a group (10) of wild caughts for the past 9 months - great fish with beautiful coloration as the males are really coloring up with long trailers! Peaceful fish with my discus and plecos. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RDFISHGUY Posted October 18, 2015 Report Share Posted October 18, 2015 I am pretty sure you are paying mainly for shipping. If they were bred in Canada the cost would be much less. I got a pair at Gold's for $250. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RD. Posted October 18, 2015 Report Share Posted October 18, 2015 I must add, after seeing Ryan's in person I would most definitely own them if offered for free! LOL Let me know if you ever need to move them out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RDFISHGUY Posted October 20, 2015 Report Share Posted October 20, 2015 The accent pieces are never permanent at my house. The main show pieces seldom change but the accents tend to change a fair bit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
