What they are worth depends on who your selling them to. I'd probably give you 10c each to use them as feeders, but each to their own.

I'm often surprised they even try pass these off as dimis. Shape is often more like a peacock then a dimi.

thats rubbish .the body is exactly like the dimi comp they dont resemble a pea cock in the slightess.avid aqariu have sone for sale

That is your opinion.

Firstly it has nothing to do with 'the body', my problem is with how the head looks. Everytime I have seen them in the flesh I have thought they look somewhere between a peacock and a dimi. Not to say some don't look more like a dimi. Not sure why someone would choose to keep these guys over such a classic malawi in the Dimi comp.

Each to their own.

BTW Mods, if this topic is not allowed then by all means please delete.
yeah i got the trio from the shop mentioned, only because they were something different
i also have a few albinos growing up, for future breeding
