thai silk...

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
I wouldn't get one. You can get one shipped to your door for cheaper. Their genetics are to weak for that kind of money. I know of 2 people who've lost theirs already. Somebody's wouldn't eat and the other was DOA.

I don't know about them being cheaper but I do agree with the genetics of them being weak...
 
We have 5 from Thailand. They eat the first day they are in the tank. Though we get them at around 4-5".

They are pretty new. How do you know if their genetics are weak. Though we have them for a short time, 10 days or so, none was showing sign of sick, depress, not swimming... They are still eating like a pig; even with the one we sold to our friends.

Just my 2 cents.

There's too many variables to classify the whole strain or every "thai silk" or "platinum" or whatever you want to call them as being weak. I don't think we can classify the whole strain as weak from 2 that didn't make it.

And absolutely no personal experience with them.
 
Original import price when they first came out was 150, and about weak genetics, just ask yourself why not a lot were sold to US and nothing but bad reviews we see? I never owned 1 but the choice is up to u. Just make sure they are very helthy and eatting if u do decide to get one, good luck.
