Pfftt!! Someone either is trying to sell this mutant fish, or bought this mutant fish for $15,000.00??!! This fish is hideous, with beautiful coloration. If I owned that fish, I'd give it away.

I have never understood the complete fascination with defected and weird shaped fish. They look weird. Whatever. I guess one man's gold is another man's...

Read an article about these in Pratical Fishkeeping magazine. They suffer and live shortened lives cos their internal organs are all shunted up together........ basically they are hybrid bred cripples. 99% come from Singapore, where they still dye fish as well. Not a good place for fish.

Short bodied fish are the latest fashion thing over there.....there are even short bodied Arowana's for sale........
