He should have at least offered to kiss you first.

BTW - the first photo appears to have been enhanced by a NAN light, hence the reason that the entire tank appears pink/red.

Good luck

I noticed the red lighting too, someone else tried buying this fish like a month ago i believe and is said the same thing.

Let us know how the fish turns out.

He is confirmed to be the correct fish by my transhipper! Was mailed out earlier today and will be here early tomorrow! (Fingers still Crossed)

Congrats man! You never mentioned who the seller is?
 
I think I know who the seller is.
The first picture I do not think the person use nan light. Once a picture is taken, you can change the hue/color of the picture to make it look like that. It's a nice fish, but prospective buyer can't really see the true color of the fish with pictures like that.
 
Chonburiman is the seller. Nice fish if you get the one you bid on! He is with transhipper and he is fine but she didnt get to send him. Friday shippment for Saturday delivery. 2 more days!

IMHO, not only did the seller uses a NAN light, but they also saturated/enhanced the colors to make them appear even more pink/red. Take a close look at the divider in the tank, even it's pink.

Either way, doesn't matter how they tweaked the fish in the photo, it obviously doesn't look like that in person hence the reason some sellers do crap like that.

Hopefully you get the fish that you paid for, MrGillz.

Chons typically a good seller as far as I have heard.
 
Man, Chon is awesome. I hope you werent going to say he was the one that pulled this, because I kind of remember seeing this fish on AB. I know 2 people who have Chons fish shipped with perfect results. Some of the guys I know in Philly get fish from Chon which go through Louhans4Jersey.
Editing software is common practice. 5 minutes in a program I could turn a plain jane into a comp. winner. I dont really think its trying to rip people off but showing more detail and potential in the fish. They make the colors brighter to see the markings better. Yes, this does help sales, But never expect the fish to look 100% identical to the picture, But always expect to get the fish in the picture.

No joke, not that hard to make a fish look better than it truly is.

It was Chon but hopefully it was just "a couple" of mistakes. I knew the light was red but never got that fish anyway. I like the one I chose as a replacement so if I get him, which according to my transhipper I did, I am ok. Got the short body for only shipping, which wasn't cheap but not bad for her. No way I could have got any out here, or cheaper I don't believe, so it is what it is. Not too confident in purchasing from him any time soon but again he does have great fish for reasonable prices and will work out a deal on more than one! If you get them now thats another story!
