snow aro on aquabid

[wizzin]

people buy plecos because they like plecos but to pay 200 x more than a normal color pleco would be a fool

this snow aro is not even a totaly diffrent color to a normal silver aro its just a diffrent shade which when taking pictures you chould make most silver aros look buy over exposeing the shot

anyone who spend $60,000 on a snow aro that person with more money than sence making him/her a fool

i have never said their is anything wrong with silver aros i just cant see how anyone can justify a $11k or $60k price tag for a so called snow aro when you can buy a silver for $60

its the same as a car as far as im conserned would you pay 200 x more for a green farrari just because their are not many around its still a farrari no water what color it is

you guys are just fooling yourselfs if you are trying to justfiy the price of the so called snow aro

if i had paid $60k for the other snow sold then saw one for sale for $11k i personally would feel ripped off

$2000 is the most i would ever pay for any fish anything more than that is foolish

You can get a snow by over exposing a photo? You are nuts! It's a leucistic arowana. The phenomenon is called Leucism wiki here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leucism In general, people pay large amounts of money for any animal that is leucistic.

The car thing again? You can paint a car. You can't make a fish leucistic.

I think the problem here is that you're stuck on "how do you justify spending that much on a fish". The people who do, don't have to justify it. There doesn't have to be a return on investment, it's not the stock market. People gamble too, that's not a very responsible way to spend your money now is it? Same for the thought of the guy who spent 60k for one, and now theres one for 10k. It doesn't matter the price! It's not ebay. People aren't shopping for the lowest price on a snow aro. They want one, and they're willing to spend whatever it costs to get it.

where do you draw the line then? So you are the economist who sets the "justified, OK" amount to spend on fish? So $2k is ok? I'm sure there's people who would say you're nuts for spending $2k on a fish too. It's whatever makes you happy man!

You obviously just don't get it, so I'm going to let it die now.

UGLY? you got to be kidding. Thats a very awsome looking fish. He is way to proud of it. I would be surprised if he got a tenth of what he's asking but still, a remarkable fish. The right eye has no drop. I wonder why we didn't get to see the left eye. Hmmmm

here's one of the left eye. A little DE...

trust me with a few cam tricks you can make a silver aro look like a snow

and if you want a fish to look like a 60k fish it woulnt be that hard with photo shop

2k on a fish is still a lot of money but 60k is just foolish and the fish would have to be alot nicer than a plain white snow fish

their is a white leopoldi around very nice but i very much dought that 60k was paid for it

if you look at it like this a normal silver aro is $60 but a snow aro is costing $60,000

a normal leopoldi ray is costing $1,000 that would make a snow leopldi worth $1,000000 i dont think so

the snow aro is very over priced for what it is simple math shows you that

stop trying to justify this snow aro its over priced that all their is to it

If some one is willing to pay $11k for it, then it's worth it. Plain and simple.

Does that make the person that pays 11K a fool? That's where opinion comes in. Obviously there is a few differing opinions in this thread, and I doubt that each of you will change your views. At this point you're wasting key strokes

That said, I'd like to see a regular silver (picture) be manipulated to look that much like a snow. Overexposing alone will not do that.

Nice arow but not exactly "snow" looking.. That snow arow is pure white..

 

[blazin_dragon18]

don't know wut the big deal w/the "snow" arow is ... cept for rare, any other kinds of arow is better lookin than that one...it luks like it's been in water w/too much chlorine for its whole life. and not to mention that face

 

[T1KARMANN]

with a bit over exposure on the cam and some photoshop trick wham a $60 aro turns into a $60,000 aro

no diffrent than the nano light people use to make asian aros much better than they realy are
