super green revisted

Yes, but not everyone lives in Ken Davis's backyard!

That is a nice fish, but it is just an escondido. I assume they are pretty rare in Australia though.

I am dead certain that's what the general consensus was in that previous super green thread. The folks at that shop were trying to get more for the fish by hyping it's name up.

Regardless, it's a gorgeous fish. I know prices down there where you folks are are insane to the prices we have here. Hopefully you didn't get taken but if you love the fish and the looks then it's certainly worth whatever you paid for it, by far!


How big did you say this guy was?

although that is a escondido, and yes they are also pretty common and cheap down under, i have never seen one like this before. it has really big green spots on it.

looks really nice mate and i hope your happy with it.

Could it be some other form of carpintis then, other than escondido since the spots/spangling is much larger?
