I would doubt they are the actualy fish anyway as there are pics of different fish (the 2nd one looks like its a photo of a photo in a book)

I realized that the two photos are showing two different fish! Pay close attention to the pattern of the second fin!

This ad has been on ebay two or three times now.I've never noticed it actually being sold,it just seems to vanish,then reappear a few days later.
It's always the same pics.

Just seems a bit odd......!

I see what you mean about the fin :roll:

I would say male, this listing had been removed from ebay on Friday, so i guess someone viewed the fish & was not a female so back on ebay again.

I hope everybody avoids it until the price is dropped, very very overpriced :x

It maybe over priced, but I need as many adults as possible, if so can offer any cheaper, please pm me.

I saw this listed before as well and it was said that it was a male in the last listing and I am not sure that 2" is adult.

I agree that this is very very very over priced I paid the same for a 1 3/4" a 2" and a proven adult male.
