I just think it is absolutely shameful to pull this sort of stunt on a fellow breeder.

I believe it should be known.

He did refund my money for the two fish, as well he should have; but even paying $15 for Priority shipping on these fish is a joke; seeing he has been so blatantly dishonest in the deal and genuinely tried to pass off a sick and tragic fish.

Here is the auction photo:
Aquabid Auction



Here are two poor photos I've taken quickly just moments ago. Everyone knows my photos skills suck but I think you can see plainly just the same, what I am speaking of.





Just posting the truth. The female is about 3/4 of an inch long, and covered in what I am thinking maybe black fungus. The male is below an inch nose to end of caudal, DOES NOT have the ray extension of the fish in the auction photo and cannot possibly be the same fish! Also they are 5 months old and still this small, something that should have been noted in the auction as they are useless as breeders and way undersized. I don't buy pet fish.

NOTE: I did leave him positive feedback since he refunded the money but thought others should know the details of this transaction.

Belle. Do you think anything can be done to help this poor female or should she just be culled? She's very thin, though her tummy is full now of BBS. I felt so sorry for her when I opened up that box!

Also, if anyone wants to pay shipping I'll gladly give these, or at least the male, to someone who wants a cute pet.

Sorry sherry that sucks, i hope you can help the little Girl, :(

Thanks Cody.

Aww I hate . That just burns me up when they do that. poor little girl too bad you don't have a tank they could just chill in I do if we hadn't already done our thing I would take them. I have a few pet fish lol..... :hug: sorry that went bad on you.hope he dose not get anyone else like that.

Thanks Shannon. I'm trying to help the female. The male is healthy and active, just very small. But this poor little girl. I've not ever had much trouble with disease and I have no idea what it is she has. He tiny little body has like bumps all over and they look blackish on top.

Does anyone else know what this might be?
Help please.

I would treat her with something that treats for body fungus/body slime. Any columnaris medication should help.
Also the colliodial silver you use should also help.
Most importantly is feeding her. Food and clean water should help.

Just wondering what happened to that poor girl?
