Title: Ugly/Boring fish trade?
Post by: four_by_ken on November 19, 2013, 02:59:22 PM
Just thought I would toss this out there.

Sometimes a boring fish in one tank can really liven up/color up with a change of scenery.

Post up if you have a boring fish and want to just straight up trade for another one.

This would probably be best with say Peacocks or the like.

What do you have to loose?

I have what I was told is a German Red Peacock.  Real healthy and eats great.  It has specks of blue in its face and some orangish red throughout its sides.  But, just no where near show quality.

Anyone want to trade another peacock for him?

I'll have to take one.  Basically a boring looking peacock with some orange hints and light blue kind of... on the face.  Nothing to brag about at all.
