I don't see what the problem is. Just because you see a couple of picks of an amazing x back on the internet it doesn't mean that is what they will all look like.
If you want a guarantee that your fish will look how you want it then you will have to buy an adult that has developed the looks you want. It's the same with any fish. If you buy a young fish you don't know exactly how it will look when adult.

other fish dont have a starting price of $2k
and other fish you more or less see what you get even at fry size
if you buy a dicus that has been pumped full of hormones to look much redder than it realy is only to lose that color after a few weeks you would have been ripped off wouldnt you
You cant really compare something natural to something fixed. Alot of different factors go into whether the aros actually crosses or not. Even if you had one of the best x-backs in the world from the two best bloodlines in the world, it would still come out looking like crap if you were to treat it like crap. were talking about a fish here, something that grows, something that changes. A ferrari does not change, its a ferrari, it doesnt grow, it does develop colour as it ages.T1KARMANN;3527243; said:
Okay, lets clarrify something first of all, an x-back is just a MALAY GOLD. You cant expect all x-backs to "cross". And the term crossing just means to reach 6th level shine, not meaning that the gold from both sides of the body will connect at the top of the aro. If you buy a pedigree dog, yes you can expect a doberman or whatever the damn thing says, but that doesnt mean your doberman would be growing out to be a show dog. Nobody knows how an animal will turn out in the future, its just not possible, yes, theres possible hints, but in the end, 99% is still on the fish itself. Unless you were to buy an adult one that has already FULLY crossed, I dont see how ANYONE can guarantee you 100% that you will be getting a gold that will be fully crossing when it grows older. But, obviously, if you were to buy the cheapest gold you can find, your chances of fully crossing is pretty slim compared to if you bought one from a reputable source with a hefty price tag. T1, you keep rays yourself, if you kept henleis, how would you know for sure if they would go solid black or stay brown? Or, if you bred black diamonds, can you guarantee that the black diamond wont come out with yellowish spots? can you gaurantee it wont have running spots? Probably not as alot of other factors come into place.T1KARMANN;3527671; said:
