Aquabid Flowerhorn Question

[BlueKiller82]

I didnt know where to post this so figured here was best.

I was curious if anyone has dealt with the aquabid seller by the name of "The_eagle". Says he is in Thailand. His fish seem to be very cheap and even cheaper for shipping to US.

Anyone purchased from him? Also howd the fish turn out compared to his pics?

Heres one of his adds as a Sample

its a 3cm fish... how much more you wanna pay for something you have no idea how it will turn out?

I didnt even see the 3cm part, but I am obviously trying to find out what they will turn out to be like and what the feedback is on this seller. I wouldnt buy unless I can get some opinions from people who have bought from him. Thanks.

i haven't heard anything bad from that seller, YET! if you scan a couple flowerhorn sites, they might be able to help you more. however on fhcraze site the_eagle is not listed yet as bad or good seller.

as stated, it's only 3cm.
$30 fish + ship cost from transhipper ($30-$50 ??)
you're looking at close to $100 for a 3cm juvie that you will not know how it will turn out....these are hybrid, meaning fry might not turn out to look like parent. Save your $$ and buy a quality FH that is around 4" when you can tell the quality and it's small enough that you can grow out and small enough that the price is not so high. Look to spent around $180-250

Buying fry is always a crapshoot and best to buy them at 3-4" so you hae a better idea of what you going to get. The parents look good but dad is lacking a KOK as well mom so almost guarantee the fish will have a small head.
