Guys
I Spotted a SB Clown Plec in with some Gibby's today. The LFS Guy Did not know it was in there, and was not sure what to price it at. Would this be a good buy if it were under 5GBP. I look Really Cool its about 3 inches and looks like a Ryukin Goldfish the Back is so Arched. |

Rare because a breeder would cull them and most of them wouldn't survive naturall in the wild i guess. QUOTE (Gill @ Jul 8 2008, 10:05 PM) I am collecting them tommorrow Lunch time.

QUOTE (xingumike @ Jul 9 2008, 08:20 AM) And they are all deformed? no, they are SHortBodied, just squashed up version of a normal fish. They occur in nearly all breeds/species of Fish from time to time and some people collect SB fish. Try Searching for SB Birchirs/polyopterids/enchi they are super duper cute. |

Try Searching for SB Birchirs/polyopterids/enchi they are super duper cute. squashed up versions of "normal" fish tend to be deformed. if the body is length is squashed chances are that the internal organs are too which will probably lead to an unhappy life for the fish. hey ho |
