Angler;2015093; said:Nice looking fish! I hate it when people say stuff like, "dude, you got ripped off." If you like a fish enough to spend that much and you have the funds, then buy it. I have probably spent much more on some of my fish than other people have spent for the same species. When you are an MFKer, sometimes the price just doesn't matter.
First off he asked to rate the fish. And I have a hard time blowing smoke up someones arse to justify paying $120 for a fish that they could get for $10 from other sources. And if you don't try to help people find HONEST sellers, they will continue to get ripped off. If you don't mind payin 1000% more for a fish than it's worth thats cool bro, but I think you are in the minority there. Most would pay the $10-$20 this fish is worth rather than the $120 that was paid. This fish was a local breed. You can have a high quality fish imported from asia for that price nowadays, why not educate people about that?? Won't that help more?? I sent the OP a message too, because I can get him fish like this or way better for under $20. I even know of one seller that sells FH fry imported from Thailand for $5 each. Her shipping is very cheap too and would cost $35-$45 to ship up to 20 of those from cali to michigan. There are even better local options for flowerhorn if you know where to look and are patient. I'm just trying to help the brotha out and I'm not just ragging on his fish. It is very nice for a low grade fish, but maybe he wants something that will grow a kok, and have more color, and have more pearls. For what he is willing to spend on a fish, he can do much better. I would even sell him the fish I pictured for the $120 he paid for his fish. I'm in Ypsi bud, so if you want him, come get him. Or I can help you get some small juvies for a wayyyy better price. Do you have any friends you can split shipping with???
