My lfs has arrived 2 red haddonis today . I rush to them and see which 1 is more healthy and color better. I was surprise that it was way cheaper then i was expected , it was just $230 :eek:
Took the bigger 1 home. It's around 8" now. It's very sticky , stomach was pulling out a little when it was at the store , but probably from the shipping stress. Did a 1 1/2 hour drip acclimating and the stomach was still pulling out a little. Put it in my tank and mouth was shut tight in less then a minute. Foot is already attach to the rock an slowly moving in to the sand.


Day 1

Hah ! your fish knows the better looking carpet and went to it right away :)

Congrats, nice carpet and even at a better price.
 
That's a nice looking red haddoni. It's what I would consider a true red haddoni. A lot I've seen lately have traces of other colors, and don't look as vibrant as yours and other reds I've seen. Nice pick up!

What colors have the red haddons lately??? I have seen some pics that it is very bright red , like fire red.
 
i knew i should try to get a job in HK. how about the blue?

Still couldn't find a smaller blue. Blue haddonis are more rare here, but I will not give up. I still want a blue . Next time if you come to hk to find a job please bring a small blue haddon for me :lolspin:

Mine is doing great today. It has already attach to the bottom of the tank. Will make pics today. It's getting bigger then I was expected. At the store it was like 6" and I thought in my tank it would be 8" fully inflated. It's 9" now and not fully inflated, it still can get bigger:uhoh3:
 
Congrats on the find, good luck keeping it healthy! I can't believe they sell $400-700 here and you found one for $230, really good price in comparison. :thumbsup:

Thanks......normally they are selling it around $350-$400 , but this time they are selling it cheaper then normally. Maybe because they got more in these time. I also think it's like seasons. My lfs got 3 in the last month, but always sold very fast.

The strange is that nobody buy gigs here. This place is full of blue gigs and nobody that buy it and then at the end die in the tank of the store.
 
Day 2

Today it's doing even more better. Foot attach on the bottom of the tank and is expanding even more. It's around 9" now.

You have one beautiful tank, the red carpet is looking real good, congrats. For color i guess it also depends on your lighting. Here is a picture of mine.
