It could be a trap.FishingOut;4585007; said:Hes only asking $5. WTF is this guy selling? Or its a trap.
Seems shady to me.
yah that add doesnt make sence, but the guy sounds very enthused that they are rare and that NO ONE! els has them in arizona haha. maybe he was a sucker of a scam and some other guy sold him that "japanies cichlid" for big bucks and he things he has stumbled apon something amazing lol...so who wants to be the one to break his heart that the fish he is selling for starters isnt even a cichlid? lol

It seems he bred them. I was wondering if he put the wrong picture on the ad? Could it be a Cichlid? are there any from Asia?
I will break the news.
madagascar,yes...
ask him if there jet black with blue spots, there is a stunning cichlid from there called polleni, if you have the large spot there pretty rare, small spots are more common, but still a very rare cichlid,i used to have one

thats bold of you to break the news to him lol...and ya i do agree that there are asian cichlids they are not common in the trade tho
A couple chromides are from south Asia. A couple Etroplus are from below the Hindu Kush. Love that mountain range haha.
The guy probably got beat on a batch of lionheads and is trying to pawn them off because no LFS wants them. I bet once approached or emailed about the wrong ID, He will be completely oblivious to the situation. Somebody who sells fish obviously knows the difference between a cichlid and friggin goldfish.

I sent the email out I am waiting on the reply. I will keep you updated as to what happens next. I feel like a detective, my interest in really peaked.
ask him to take a picture beside a ruler/measuring tape?
that way it seems like you don't trust him on the length, not the entire fish.
