Now that’s Christmas Spirit! There are a lot of selfless, caring people out there who do nice stuff, wish it wasn’t so easy to forget. When I saw your thread title I thought “oh no, what’s this mess?” I am so glad to be wrong. Amazing fish made even better because of how you got him.

(I am new here, hi!)

welcome you will love it here

Beautiful! I've never seen an albino one in person.

I had never seen any longfin in person

I was thinking the same. I'm curious to know its origin? Why would an albino longfin be in a Texas fish store? Most stay local in Indonesia/Singapore/Malaysia. Only thing I've heard of are regular longfin 3 years ago at Aquatic Daycare.com. $80 each @ 3-5" sizes

this actually came through segrest farms

Apparently at Gucci type pricing if available here in the U.S. Such as from online retailers as Bluegrass Aquatics or wholesaler types such Seagrest farms when they have available. @fredpitt

congratulations, T thefredpit ! Best Christmas Present ever. I've never seen a longfin albino senegal. Kris Kringle is a looker with that fabulous mustache.

What a wonderful gift and what a kind gesture. Makes me really happy to hear this story!

 

[Burbotman]

What a great thing to hear. Very cool gesture and I am confident Karma will reward the giver

Beautiful fish!

That's a serious gift for someone you don't know. I'm glad you appreciate it. That is a true Xmas spirit there. I hope your mysterious benefactor has as much or more happiness as you from this. If that person is reading this thread I'd like to say thank you to you also.

 

[Ogertron3000]

The Christmas spirit in action. Good to see you are so grateful and how happy you are.

Wow, a few things,
1. What a beautiful fish.
2. What a cool LFS, texting you when they get nice fish in - hell yeah!
3. What a wonderful, kind hearted person Mr/Ms Anonymous is. Buying a $250 fish for someone you've only met in a pet store is a gesture beyond the generosity of most people. Stuff like this makes me feel better about the world.

I hope Kris Kringle gives you many years of enjoyment. What an Xmas prezzie!

 

[thefredpit]

yeah the gift of Kris Kringle is so amazing to me because who does that? He is such an amazing fish I hope whoever gave me such a wonderful gift reads this thread or the one on my local forum and understands how truly grateful I am
