Ummmm...I wasn't freaking out. He asked what we thought, I let him know what I thought. Fish like that don't tend to appear normally. And any breeder worthy of the name would cull such a fish. It wasn't that long ago when culling defective fish was normal practice. Then breeders realized people would actually pay more money for a deformed fish than they would a healthy one. It's a sad practice as far as I am concerned.
Actively breeding such deformities is even worse.
