Buddy....I come from the West Coast, more specific, the San Francisco Bay Area...These ugly mutants show up on our doorstep probably 5 months to a year before the rest of the Unites States see them....Unfortunately, I have seen it all...From double tailed "Heart" Parrot cichlids to flowers "tatooed"(or dyed) on the sides of convict cichlids...These nasty creations are for the beginners eyes to look upon on in awe, and for us Monster Keepers to look the other way(and think feeder)....
