Who's Bidding $500 on these clowns?

[CoralsAddiction]

Came across this auction and all I can say is wow, $500?

Give them a broomstick and we can call them witch clownfish.

 

[addictedreefer]

Absolutely disgusting. Very sad to see.

 

[Jade5051]

I think it's kind of cool. Anyone know how they did it?

The way the fins are makes the body shape look horriable, looks like the fins were part of the clown then were shreded.

I have seen a pair of these in person. Not very attractive IMO. I do recall them being several hundred dollars each.

 

[addictedreefer]

Again. This is what's wrong with the hobby today. Sadly, the guppification will only get worse going forward so long as there is a market for these freaks.

 

[shifty51008]

They already have a black and white longfin clown also.

 

[akida]

Not a huge fan they look like beta fish

 

[Jeff4777]

Looks like someones kid got some scissors and tried to make snow flakes out of their fins...

So true - clowns are becoming the guppies/bettas of marine fish. Overbreeding and inbreeding. Look at that $8900 "peacekeeper" clown on eBay, its mouth is completely deformed.

Pasadena Tropical Fish carried two of these.. I thought the poor guy got shreded by his tank mates..

The LFS I go to has a pair of these. Not the most attractive clown I've seen. His price was 1200$ for the pair.

I got a fancy tail gold fish I won at the fair if you like that look lol

Yeah Steve likes, or at least used to like, buying from SA on a regular basis. Not surprised he had them.

 

[chimmike]

designer? like, a purse?

what Beverly hills wife is going to know *** a designer clownfish is?

 

[nanoreefer1000]

I love the look of these guys, but they shouldn't be bought or bred, kinda like Elephant Ear bettas.

The dog in my avatar is The Most Handsome (and Best) Dog in the World. He's a "designer dog11!1!1!!" - a morkie, which means he's a maltese/yorkie mix. In short, he's a mutt. Just because you call something designer and sell it for hundreds doesn't mean it is.

 

[rffanat1c]

Poor fish, I wonder what their lives pan and quality of life is like with those deformities.

Wow , is right ... Fugly for sure ... Already regular healthy clownfish are bad swimmers. Just imagine these things!
