Default How to pass off as P13 Leopoldi

Recently I have heard customers saying that P13 price have drop due to over production but I have to disagree on this. One female can roughly give birth to a few pups and not all adult females can give birth. There is fake P13 being sold at a lower price. Imported in and sell as P13. The importer may not know either or they are making some good money out of it??? I also dunno..

What I'm sharing now have been going on for long as I can remember..

I'll just share how to trim off the elongated paddle tail to make a P13 sp looks like P13 but of course the basic requirements have to be there.. white spots.. grey/black base.. short tail..

Rays are sedated before trimming. If not for my poor eye sight, I could have done a better job.. Normally all this are being done when the rays is a few days old so the trim portion won't be so obvious once it reach 6"..

Lastly.. I wanna let you guys know that side skirting spots of P13 is either born with or without.. there is no such things as the brown skirting spots will turn white in future.. it's all bullshit.. the brownish spots will be cover up by the black base when the rays grow bigger..

Seen people selling in this forum so don't get con..
