Did cota sell it with a catch location

 

[Dog8groomer9]

nope, said he pulled it out of a 1000 gallon vat.

I am surprised, both cota and rapps completely depend on there reputation

 

[Dog8groomer9]

Yea I was really disappointed , Jeff Rapps was very nice and has a very good reputation, I've been finding out that Cota has screwed some people aswell. He's not a very nice individual.

How can you tell without a DNA test. Midas can vary alot from different catch locations.

I agree with Andy, I don't know how you can tell the difference. They both look good to me.
Just because 1 is more sleek, don't mean its a midevil.

The one on the left looks more labiatus don't you think so?
