Elizabethae at $85???

[BFG]

Went down 2 PS just now. Their Elizabethae are damn small, smaller then my thumbnail. Very, very difficult 2 sexes them.

A qns for folks who had bought fish from sam yick PS. Do they allow you to catch your own fish or do the staffs catch for you? Sometime back; years actaully I heard the staffs telling a customer they will be the one to catch the fish for them. Is it still like that?

[Simon]

fox, no.. but u can point out which fish u want

I went down too, and the conclusion is, I can only see diplo, no elizabethae.. plus the gibbiceps doesnt look like it... I still drooling at the A. viejita, the bitaeniata is the same as the one in tropical (get my draft?) this batch is so so...

BfG,is the eliz in the same tank as the diplo?

[Simon]

BFG, ya.. i saw it on the other side... honestly no elizabethae or anythin looking like it..

oh ya, I saw that beautiful tri.. but i think benny's looks better

those looking for D. maculata, PS selling for $25 each.. i think portisfish is looking for them

[Gary]

HI!Francis,that tri u saw in the 12ft tank is very nice, i was looking for that,it call'red flash'? according to one of the guy.

Simon,agree with u that the gibbiceps???.don't look like it????
i think u miss out the tri in the 12ft tank,that is

[stormhawk]

Simon, the bitaeniatas at Tropical all dead cept for a single fish. lots of dead fishes.

[Simon]

[benetay]

Gary if you're not convince come down to my place i'll show u =)

[Gary]

Don't worry, will meet u guy out one day ok[]

[benetay]

no problem Gary, the so call " red flash " is the one i guess i have. Dorsal fin that is red. =)

I suppose they miss that fish out for export to Japan or other country that will pay a much higher price for that kind od speciment.

so i'm lucky to have that. =) Don't worry i do have a brood of those " red flash" inside my 6ft =)

[Gary]
