Hey,
Someone offered me this species for 3 Euros per fish (insane right?! And the person is 100% trustworthy!)
I know about the variations so I asked for some pictures.
The wide bar will grow way too large so if they are thin bar I might consider getting them.
To be sure about it:
Is it true that the thin bar max out at 20cm or less?

Thin bars get 6-7 inches typically.

Judging by the red hook and the width of the bar I'd say they are.
Worst case would be that it's mixed and some specimen we cannot see properly on this picture are wide bars.
But usually wide bars are 40 Euros+ per specimen so i would not think so.

Hey,
You can't believe it as well, right?
That's what I thought and I immediately asked her if she made a mistake.
But nope:
It's 3 Euros per fish and as I said:
Her shop is 100% trustworthy I already spend about 400 bucks there and I always am completely satisfied by the quality of the fish I am getting.
By the way:
They will arrive next Wednesday.

They just arrived!
No DOA or bad quality fish.
Totally fine and healthy looking specimen.
They sent 8 instead of 7 and I paid a total of 15 Euros because the owner gave me a discount of 25% on this order!

This is insane I cannot believe it to be honest!
