Wyoming, brrrr!
Ok, I recieved four fish today. Three are mine and one is Julie's. There is two sellers, two fish from each. I am sorry to say that you may not see Julie's fish until this evening when she is online :p

Now the contraversy! I swear two of these fish are not who I ordered. You guys look at tell me what you think... Here's the first I ordered...

Neither even resembles the first fish (Dom6) at all. They are still beautiful but too blue.
 
Ok, here's my other one, who is the right fish...

So true Auratus, now I understand that marbles change throughout their lives, but I think this is a little extreme...

Anyway, one more fish till I get ahold of Julie (hers is the best btw, so be sure to pop back in for that ;) )

This is my latest "Stephani's no longer aloud in Petco unsupervised purchase"
I've had him for about two weeks, but it's just been the last couple days that he's realized he's not in a cup and actually can swim :thumbs:

Those have got to be completely different fish. Even the spots are in different places! What are you going to do?

They are still lookers, but I'm sure they cost a lot (shipping)

The third is a hottie :wub:
 
Pretty...but definitely NOT the same fish you ordered.And it's only my opinion,but I don't think they are as beautiful as the fish you would have been expecting.Maybe there was a mix up on the seller's part.Have you bought from them before?

Koda
 
No I have never bought from this seller before. I have sent an email to the transhipper containing these pictures (aside from the VT and the two grizzleds) and asked if the mix-up happened in Thailand or with her. I'll see what she says and go from there. If the seller wants to send me the actual fish or comparable ones then I will be happy. I paid mucho for these guys at as nice as these two are, right now I am not pleased. :no:
 
In the first picture of the first fish... the tail has a little point to it. No point on the second picture. Also in the first picture, the rays in the tail start to branch about 3/4ths of the way out... in the second the branching starts at about the midpoint.

:dunno: Just some extra support for "not the same".
 
Ok I'm browsing aquabid's closed auctions and I found one of the fish. No one bid on him so I don't have someone else's. Still looking for the other but here's the first.
