Then may i ask why didnt you buy in first place?what were your concerns?
I last time ever paid $13k for a very nice female hybrid but it turn out to be a flop so I decided to given this a miss.. later on I realise that it's depend on which Thai breeder the fish come from..

I really regret not buying it..

Other pples may appreciate the rays differently regardless of name or colour but will look at its over all. I kn of some frds really appreciate rays by itself, ask me Tay, pls find super spots motoro for me pls Btw this frd had many BDs. Thus, it really depneds on the mentality of rays keepers here. Basically, breeders everywhere will produce wat the buyers wan.

Local here like B&W and branding, so many fake BDs fr Thai comes here sell cheap cheap, and selling v well. Is the mkt demand lor. BTW some dont even look like BDs, but cos is selling as BDs, so pple still buys regardless of how ugly the rays look.



These my personal opinion not aiming at breeders, TS, anyone, is only a general comments ya. Thks u for ur understanding.
Thank you for enlightening us newbie hobbyist that there are many fake BDs selling at low pricing

when these fake BD grow up the hobbyist would know if it is worth keeping =)

like me i cant afford BDs so i buy rays within my limited budget =)

Guess 1 cent goods for 1 cent fish also apply to rays too

Honestly there is no way to spot a fake BD. Once u hit 3rd 4th generation with careful selective crossing, no one can spot the diff. I believe even their off springs may not give them away as throw out may be minimal. Come back to old issue, are those wc BDs completely pure, are BDs themselves pure???? No one can give us a firm ans.

As such, see gd quality rays pay gd price, lousy rays pay peanuts and not buy cos they are name BDs. BTW, Azon & myself will not help pple to identify gene of rays as it will not benefit us but bring us trouble only. I believe the mkt is efficient, if buyers dont buy based on name, I believe sellers wont sell based on name but based on quality.

Whether BD are pure or not I believe some local BD breeders have shown us the answer with the quality of their bd pup pictures posted on AF =)

Most importantly why do we only see people show case those fake BD once and after that no more posting when they are at adult size? Think we all have the answers =)
