Do you have any "unaltered" photos of your fish? The problem you may be having is that the photo that you are using to advertise your fish is misleading. Your photo shows approximately 30+ fish, but they are all of the "same" fish. The fact that you altered the photo to make it look like you have alot of fish at diffrent sizes may be taken by some as a sign of possible deception. Especially, when the photo uses the same fish shrunk, enlarged, and turned in diffrent angles, as if it were a bunch of diffrent fish.  I'm not saying that this is the case, and.... I hope that it is not the case. I'm just saying that this is how I perceived your thread, and others may have , also. I was actually thinking about purchasing a few from you to add to my very young Burundi group, but your photo threw up a "red flag".

It doesn't look chopped to me.... looks like a real picture and seeing as though the seller has literally tons to offer I don't see the point of him trying to mislead. Also he is willing to meet in person or I am sure you could make the drive out there.

Ek-

If you look closely at the photo you will see that each fish has the exact same "second stripe". Now I'm no "Frontosa Expert" but I have 35 Fronts (Moba, Mipimbwe, and Burundi) and none of them have the exact same stripe pattern. "Close" but not "exact" like in the above photo. Secondly, there is no way you can take a photo of that many fish (30+) and all their fins are in the same position. I can literally take each fish from that photo and lay it on top of the next fish and the would all line up perfectly. Lastly, I sure that the seller does have a bunch of fish (they are Burundi... that's a no brainer), I just gave the reason why I, and maybe some others, was hesitant to buy his fish. Also, from past post on this board, Frontosa sales usually go pretty quick around here.

I meant no harm by my post, I was just trying to give you feedback on how someone might perceive your ad. I buy fish and sell fish online and I know that I'm always open to any and all criticism. Mainly, because I, as the Seller, sometimes may not know how my ad may come across to the general public. If I said anything that offended you.... please accept my apology. To be offensive was not my goal.

But they have different fin damage, gill plates, .... I see what you are saying though but it didn't strike me as a chopped picture.

Maybe a shot standing back a little to show a full tank shot and maybe have a piece of paper with HFB on it.

I just think this could have been better handled by PM and not openly accusing me of photoshopping my pic. You could have just asked for additional pics.
since that pic i have moved them into a bigger tank so heres a new pic. some are little stressed out (lighter ones b/c i just kicked the light on but i hope this solves the problem) sorry the lighting is poor but i didnt want to use flash and i dont keep very many lights on my tanks, too much electricity.

Re: F1 Burundi Fronts 2" NEW PRICES

I don't have any complaints in regards to the seller, he delivered as promised and I will be happy to deal with him again in the future.  Too bad a single male dub I had in "time out" decimated the majority of the fish I bought from him.

Re: F1 Burundi Fronts 2" NEW PRICES

yeah.  same here.  no complaints.  The guy is very honest and willing to help out.  

Also i don't think anyone would have time to sit there and modify a picture (unless they're a loser with plenty of time).  Wouldn't it be easier to just snap a picture?

Re: F1 Burundi Fronts 2" NEW PRICES

After only a couple of seconds looking;
The front in the bottom left corner has a small hump, the others dont.
Far right center, second fish in, front has a spot behind its eye.

So theres at least 3 fish in that photo :)


My Kigoma all look the same....
