Short-bodied Fish On Aquabid

[Synirr]

I know the short body is a fault, but MAN is he adorable
I'd love to have a little cutie like that

Here's another one in red:

I really want the first one, but not for $40, especially when they don't ship through Linda so I can combine my shipping costs (I have some others coming soon)
Maybe no one will bid and I can make an offer, hehe

They are gorgeous

I hadn't seen short bodies before till 2 popped up in one of my spawns recently

Still got them by any chance?

I'm seriously interested in these now... Like I said, I know it's a fault, but they're just so darned ADORABLE!! I love how they look chunky. That's one of my fave things about DTs, how most of them look like fat little piggies.

I sold the male and have someone interested in the female now but a bit of a long swim from the UK to Texas anyway

 

[Synirr]

Aw darnit, I keep forgetting you're in the UK

I think the chubby look really suits DTPKs, like Wuv's bootiful white and red lovelies. But plakats look quite cool too, wondr what a short bodied VT would look like...

 

[demonmagus]

personally I think a short VT would look awful, VT's look really elegant but the short body will stop that, however many people would like that style

yuck.

 

[starrynightxxi]

new breed? bah... just a genetic thing, someone seeing if they can't make a little more off their finless fry but hey, whatever. it's how all the rest of the tail types started, i guess

 

[BWBettas]

Yeah, it was a PK female with just a pair of ventrals. Looked hideous lol

I offered the seller $25 for the green one and he replied with pics of spawn siblings, basically asking me if, after seeing those, I still didn't think they were worth his starting price
Well no sir, they're still not worth $40 to me, I don't care how cute they are . He said that was the asking price for them in Thailand, but if he wants that much for them he might as well just sell them there then, because there's no way he's getting that from me. Hopefully I can wear him down, but he's holding pretty firm on the $40 at the moment.

Here are two of the pics of a short-bodied female he sent me:
