Does anyone know much about this fish? i.e. how the shape comes about?

I saw one today at about 7" (head to tail) for $650. Ok looking, but crazy price.
 
I saw 3 of these at this not so local LFS about 2 or 3 months ago. They were 2.5" in size and on sale for $18 a pop. I wanted to buy 2 but only had $32 on me at the time and the store did not accept credit cards. Shop owner absolutely refused to go down even a penny and so I walked out mighty pissed off. Needless to say I've been kicking myself ever since :( These were some of the coolest looking fish I have ever seen, however $650 is beastly expensive and totally not worth it IMO
 
Was selling these for $25

Wow. Weird how do those end up like that? I'm not sure how i feel about those. Kind of looks like parrot/ GT mix.:confused:



I think that's what they are.

650.00 is way too much though, lfs is just looking for a sucker.
 
My lfs has them often for 30$ each. Your shop owner has his head in his ass if he thinks someone's going to buy a genetically modified green terror for as much as a cheap asian aro.
 
Ok, maybe I mistaken and saw an extra zero at the end of the price. I'll have to go back and check.

The larger ones were about 7".
He did have smaller one's...about 1" for $20 I believe.

So does anyone know how these were created? If it's something like breaking their backs when young, then that would def alter my thoughts about getting one.
