Ruturaj Ruturaj i was in there this afternoon lol. I was showing the guy my Flowerhorn after we were talking about his female festae and then he mentioned you. I said “I bet that’s the guy I’ve been talking to on monster fish keepers”?

Yes I do, it’s a mixed CA/SA community tank. I think I’m going to set it up as a SA biotope im a few months though

There are two of them...literally. Twin brothers that go by the same first name...lol. They sell the galaxy and tornado gene lines. I got a couple from his brother a long time ago and the pics definitely told a different story. One of the females wasn't even kamfa like it was supposed to be. It was SRD, nice fish but nothing compared to the pic colorwise, and not a kamfa like I was trying to get. Neither made it unfortunately.

I'll have to dig out pics of the one that ended up being srd...she looked pretty good, pretty koky and nice red, but finding the original pic will be impossible as facebook axed the group. I didn't even bother taking pics of the other. That was the 'I told you so' fish as I was told not to buy. The pic drew me in...lol

Mine hasn’t turned out too bad for the few weeks that I’ve had him but he’s nowhere near the quality I was told he was/that I paid forView attachment 1398359View attachment 1398360

Yep, there pictures you were very different from the actual fish. I hope mine is not that different from video or pictures.

I had the other brother on my contact list but he wasn't on there much longer after I questioned him about srd instead of kamfa. I even got 2nd and 3rd opinions to make sure I wasn't going crazy.
 
I actually wish I still had her now that I'm tinkering a bit with srd but it is what it is I guess.
