ORA just released a new clown, the platinum. I can get 2 only, and the price is a staggering $400 per pair.

let me know if you want a pair ASAP.

man those things are UGLY!!!! I like the colors mother nature intended instead of the mad scientists dabbling in genetics

That is one heck of a fish. I love the colors lol. Of course they look pretty good to me when they have their regular nature intended colors aswell. I pretty much just think all of their colors are cool.

Selective breeding is barely considered a field of genetics...

Mostly it is watching for that one individual that looks different than the rest, then making it have lots of babies. Then looking for the one baby that looks different...

Now let's stop bashing the wares that a person is trying to sell.

I think everyone is entitled to have an opinion, just like you stated yours Dennis :)

Good luck on the sale of those Bob. Not my cup of tea but Im sure there will be a waiting list :)

State an opinion, yes. But it should not be in a thread for selling an item in a sponsor forum. Bob was not asking for our opinions, he was asking for who wanted them. The posts that bashed them and stated how ugly they appear are irrelevant to the thread. If someone wanted to do that, they could start a thread in the general discussion area and state how ugly they think the platinum clowns are.

In the rules of the classified section, it forbids a sponsor from selling there. Bob must use his own forum section. Also in the rules of the classified section it states that


2. Any posts that do not have anything to do with the buying, selling, or trading of an item will be removed.

We should give Bob the same respect to not comment on the item unless we are asking a question about it.

Yes, I have an opinion, but I did not state how ugly I think those abominations of nature are... (oops, that slipped out)

Although, I do think that they are a great price (like everything else that I have seen in his store so far). There is a thread on another board that talks about a LFS that is selling them at $500 each, or $1000 for the pair. You don't want to hear my opinion on that price.

Bob, again forgive the thread-jack.

Bob, contact TAD, he was talking about getting a pair of Picassos, and may be interested in these.

I understand all the blah blah blah rules that most forums have including this one. I really dont need to read them again, but thanks for taking the time to post them.

If you dont want people to respond then don't post a picture of something that 90% of the people on this forum have never seen before.

I get kinda tired of all the PC junk that goes on in a forum, it gets tiring. All we can post is "WOOHOO", "AWESOME" or "BEST CORAL EVER" even if it looks like something I just flushed. No sponsor needs to worry about one guy saying he doesnt like his "wares". Even at that the little tiny weenie amount of money that this club spends at our "Sponsors" stores doesnt even keep their lights turned on.

Im sure that is someone really wants them they wont care what Roy thinks anyway :)

i wasn't bashing i was just stating that i think they are UGLY :D Bob knows me well enough im just BS'n him I am sure there are parties out there that will buy these fish in a heart beat, just not my cup o tea

I posted these not only to try to make a buck, which is what we sponsors are really here to do, but also to create conversation. I am not one to censor good, and non inflamatory discussion. As long as it stays civil, then feel free to express you opinion.

[fpd4308]

I think they are kinda cool looking. I like the stuff that not everyone will have in their tank, then again I don't have 400 bucks :)

[Rugbyfish]

Thanks Bob, in that case... those are butt ugly!

[theJenchild]

They kinda look like ugly gold fish.......

That being said, they're sorta neat......in the same way that really ugly people are neat, you just can't stop staring when they're that absurd!

[TAD]

Is it just me or does the tail look deformed?

[Ocean In a Box]

I'll take a pair Bob at $400

[Lowman]

These are now sold out until next month.

[Ocean In a Box]

In fact, I'll take (3)fish total. Mark my words, this will be the hottest fish on the market in 6 months.

So did you get them Perry??

[Ocean In a Box]

Yes, I ordered them.

[R-3]

Yes, I ordered them.

Nice! They might not be my favorite but I wanna still see them in person :)

[Krux]

That is not an ugly fish, this one is

If I had a tank I would have taken those in an instant... Perry is correct imho.

[Rugbyfish]

man, that looks like a one night stand I had in my formal life.

[Ocean In a Box]

Bob, did you get my PM? I would like (2) pair of these PLATINUM CLOWNS. Any update when they will be ready?

[Lowman]

One pair July, the other in August right now.

[Ocean In a Box]

If the August price is the same $400 for the pair I'll take it too.

[Lowman]

Same price Perry.

Time to break out my airbrush! ;-)

[Michael7979]
