FS grade c picasso $20

[ILLiDaN]

PICS?!!!!

 

[dohc97]

and to think i have never had issues with pairing clowns, i even paired a couple of maroons(which can be difficult to pair up).

 

[Crazy One]

Did you try adding an odd number fish at once?
I thought some species require to be added like that.

 

[ILLiDaN]

my best guess is that they are roughly the same size, fighting is normal just let them do their thing. GOTZ MINE ToDAY

 

[JPSKI25]

I let them do there thing and one was ripping the other apart. Watch for violence, it wasn't just clowns fighting for dominance, it was all out I'm gonna kill you.

 

[crooks]

Have you heard back from the seller?

 

[JPSKI25]

yeah she said she would replace them but I had to pay $50 to ship because it wasn't her fault. I think I'd rather spend the money at a LFS and call it a day. Of course it was the picasso with awesome patterns that got killed.

 

[JPSKI25]

And her pairs are actually sets not paired clowns. So this type of thing may happen and has before. Wouldn't you think there should be a little disclaimer on that.

 

[skunkmere]

yea, that's kinda funky, she should explain that, and the possibility of incompatibility.

 

[jon luciani]

agreed im rather dissapointed in this seller. she has them listed as PAIRS!!!!!!

 

[jon luciani]

and if you didnt figure it out yet JP and I went in on this order now she wants to send out 2 more on OUR dime? whos to say the same crap wont happen???

 

[JPSKI25]

The other thing she said was I should have had a breeder box to separate them when the fighting started, and there probably wasn't enough room or hiding spots in my tank for them. The one was attacking the netted fish as I was trying rescue it, and they were in a 65 gal tank with 90 lbs of LR and tons of caves. I think that 2-3/4" fish had more than enough room and hiding spaces to survive in this tank. It was just them my 2 misbars at alittle over an inch each and Sneaky Pete who lives in the sand.

$400 brutal death lol

 

[JPSKI25]

I know it didn't cost her $50 to overnight them, so she will make money off shipping the new pair.

 

[jon luciani]

Wanna go up to mitches?

 

[ILLiDaN]

I would beg to differ, i had good customer service and i requested one of the fish to be substantially smaller to avoid any bickering. Perhaps it was just bad luck? do not see where it would be to her benefit to send two females.

 

[FiReBReTHa]

Theory. Would be is than not a breeding pair so no competitive buisness. I am noooooottt saying that's what she does. Its just a general hypothetical onwhy someone would.
