Peacocks are peacocks . Zebras are zebras .Discus are Discus.
No matter how many are available.
L numbers are all plecos. ?
all fish should be sold as just fish?
AZ You with your experience know better than that . ( do you not) ????????
Well yes as you say, Peacocks are peacocks etc etc etc etc
But there is different strains/species here in Oz.
No fish shouldn't be sold as just fish.
Has anyone verified L144 as proper L144 in Oz? I highly doubt it.
Somebody has thought,"How can I make a quick buck, Oh yea these cool looking albino BN's with black/blue eyes look like L144's, Lets go with that." And BANG! price goes up and people tell people and it quickly becomes known that someone has L144's for sale.
It happened a couple of years ago with EY's....
Someone said there was F0's available. They were bought, breed and sold as such. Money was made and a lot of it.
Unfortunately for the seller of the fry they found out that they weren't F0 at all and they had been Jipped. So all those people that had bought the fry thinking they were F1's would've have been pretty pissed.
Nice fish Yea! but not F1's
Albino BN's with different colored eyes, Nice fish Yea, But not L144's.
AZ You with your experience know better than that . ( do you not) ????????
I started in the industry at the age of 17 (37 now) I don't and would never claim to have plenty of experience with keeping,breeding or knowledge of fish keeping.
Things ALWAYS change.
There is always something new happening.
Yes I've had plenty of years keeping, breeding, selling etc etc but that does not make me a professional in the hobby.
I know what I know and am ALWAYS happy to share stories with another friendly aquarist.
The people who carry on like they know all and everything about the hobby make me laugh.. No doubt there is some very smart and experienced aquarist's & hobbyists out there but they still don't know everything.
Anyways I'll stop yabbering on now as I have some fish to go and have a look at
Hope the new job is treating you well
