gillsysyd Posted November 21, 2012 Share Posted November 21, 2012 I bought a 'colony' of fish a few months back, they size was suppose to be 7/8cm,When I received them they were more like 3/4cmOne was dead because it was packed with so little air it suffocated on the way down,And I quesitoned once I received them if they were even big enough to sex, he said yeah two of them had previous mouthfulls but not held, so took his word for it.They have just started colouring up as males. So not impressed. I spent over $600 which was way over priced for their size should of been half that, and even as adults they were slightly overpriced but they don't come up often so I grabbed them.Not happy at all.I'm not going to drop names, or what species they were but I just wanted to vent.

Josh Posted November 21, 2012 Share Posted November 21, 2012 A colony of fish is just that, a colony, a breeding colony is something completely different.Did you not clarify what the sexes were before you bought them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gillsysyd Posted November 21, 2012 Author Share Posted November 21, 2012 Not cyprichromis and I bought them as a sexed colony. They should on been sold as unsexed fry not sexed adults. They were worth 3-400 not what I paid Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
