theyre stunning...id snap them up if i still had my marine tank

 

[TigerIssey]

KJ had a pair but unfortunately lost one.

She still has a very nice one, and can tell you all about the stunning picassos as they have differnt grades depending on white coverage

 

[youngfisher]

Are they rare?

[TigerIssey]

Much rarer and usually tank bred.

Hence the price of $349.99, ORA are similar to TMC aswell and have breeding programs.

They are bred for those colours.

Personally not a fan of these tank bred mutations..where are the days when they were all called misbars...
much rather pay out for the natural hybrid tang they have...

These tank bred strains will hopefully soon drop down to reasonable prices

Saw some at TMC and was going to buy some until i saw the price tag!!!!!!! they were roughly £125 a pair..... TRADE price!! They were soooo nice though, more white than that pair....

TMC still call them misbars, I think. Seen TMC stock around here labelled up as misbars anyway.

 

[Buddyboy67]

Seems nowadays the commonly bred marines are being used like the fresh waters..breed a mutation for cash...
I for one dread the day when dyed , balloon, long fin clowns, etc hit the market...
The way it is going at present it won't be long until these "frankenstein" fish hit the tanks at silly prices for a man made freak...

 

[youngfisher]

Is there a website with all TMCs fish on and there trade prices?

[Buddyboy67]

You may get a stocklist on their website but will need to be a registered trader with a vat reg number to get prices i'd think...

 

[youngfisher]

Ah, fair enough.

[TigerIssey]

YF, they don't even price up the fish when you go round TMC, my lfs lady told me this. You just get a stock sheet and then you get an invoice with the prices on.

You need to ask for specific prices, even when a trader I think.

 

[youngfisher]

Whoh. Crazy. I wish I had a decent LFS, non of them want to talk or anything, just want your money and thats it. I want one I can chat away with a worker there. Oh well.

YF, I chat away with one of mine alot of nights on a certain forum. I usually insult him, he insults me and takes the michael so to speak. Its great, any problems, ask away and its sorted before business opens the next day. Your probably in bed at this time of night though YF.

The close one that told me about TMC has known me for about 3-4 yrs now.
