One of those fish have a growth impairment, which should affect the prize, and could affect the ability to become a breeding fish.

Looks like that one doesn't have much of a tail either.

I've seen this before in F1's. It doesn't have much tail nor pectoral fins. This is not a damage from fighting but a growth impairment.

You're a huge moron... It's from fighting I saw him lose it. Internet experts who don't know anything just love to sound important and knowledgeable when in fact you know very little.

Agreed, if anyone knows L46, it's McEve. These fish are yours, so it's natural for you to take a defensive position. We just call it like we see it. :wink:

How much time was between the fight and the picture of this fish?

I'm closing this thread as this is not a place for discussion. As a mod I feel it's my responsibility to let people know if there's a reason to give information about fish advertized for sale here.

If OP would like to discuss growth impairment and damage from fighting feel fee to post in the appropriate category. I'll be happy to participate in this discussion, and will gladly post pictures of fish with the same damage as one of yours have too.
