I personally wouldn't get any of them from your list. The only fish that have potential to grow up like one of those adult fish that ILC posts would be MP02, MP05, and RUH. All others are lower grade "throw away" fish by ILC. Don't expect them to be as nice as what they normally post for pics to share.
Danz *might* disagree with my opinion and recommend you couple pieces from your list, but keep in mind that he is the admin@fhcraze and the one who set up the GB.
Look at their reservation lists, I believe only 4-5 fish are sold. This tells you a little about their quality to others eyes as well
Hope my opinion counts and helps
bro, have you seen what all ILC fish look like as young, even Elvis looked pretty close to these if im not mistaken, though i didnt see a Juvi pic of Elvis, and look at Leonidas before pic, of course, Leonidas had his own tank, and was not divided, but if was divided would have looked like the 170 dollar ones at 3-4" most of Jonz fish grow into the longer faces they have, it is in the genes of the fish, of course no one is buying because none of them open there eyes enough to the before pics of Jonz MP's, they all looked like this.

I believe you are stepping way over the line here. Okay, you just stated Elvis looked just like these offered up for sale@$170 when it was a juvie, then you say you actually haven't seen Elvis as a juvie LMAO.
About Leonidas, It's one in thousands that developed into something comparable to his father Elvis. It sure hell doesn't mean if Leonidas turned like that, all of the same batches will. Also, look at Leonidas pics, you can already tell that he has water head and kok potential, thicker body shape, better colors/pearls, and fins, which you don't see at all on these $170 GB fish. Check out EVERY non MP grade FHs that ILC have sold in the past to US and check out their updates. ALL have hard kok just like these you see offered at $170 with not much dramatic change that will touch anything close to Elvis or Leonidas quality. Basically what I am trying to say is, you get what you pay for, even Danz stated this above.
Well, people think different. You go for the "genes" and "future" hopeful potentials comparing their parents and better quality siblings, I will go for the definite potentials lol. I, and many others were in your boat in the past bro.... Buying juvies in GB for an affordable price, hoping it will turn out to be a MP that they sell for top $$ from the SAME GB. Sorry to burst your bubbles, but these people(ILC this time) are NOT dumb and prices reflect the quality. They can hold on to these frys and grow them up then sell for top $$. Why aren't they doing it? because they already DID! And these are left overs from their cherry pick. Quick question, why haven't you jumped into the GB?
You should buy ALL of them and grow them out then re-sell and become a millionaire since you see all MP potentials!
To Danz and for everyone involved in ILC GB, I apologize if I sounded a little like an ass, and sounded kinda like ILC only sells crap fish. Just like all of the FH farms/sellers, ILC sells really nice fish and some not so very nice, and they clearly reflect the price. $750 for future MP and $170 for lower grades. I easily become "hot headed" when someone talk crap showing their illiteracy or with no proof what so ever to back their opinion up.
Well, I am done talking

The hardest thing to get across in the hobby is to get people to understand you cant polish a turd. I am not saying these are turds but you have to have realistic hopes for your fish. If you want an MP there is only 1 way to get it and thats whip out the check book. Period. Breeders can tell from an early age what the fish will turn out like because thats their livelyhood. On that buying based on genes increases your chance at getting a nicer fish but its not a guarantee these are still hybrids and for those who cant add the extra 0 on the check you have to gamble.
The pictures of the transformation of Leonidas was not to show this is what your fish will look like but you can then gage you selection based on the starting points and shows ILC fish are late bloomers. Many of the ILC in the states have not reached their full potential yet from what I have seen as well the Elvis carries the Swan KOK gene so its not meant to be a massive KOKster but have the KOK come off the front of the head. Attached is an example of one of an early Son of Elvis.
As far as these fish ILC are offer they are still heavy discounted from the normal rates because of the relationship and we are getting first wack at the stock before they get sold to some private sellers in Dubai.
