jgf86123 Posted April 2, 2011 Share Posted April 2, 2011 If I remember right, Dave doesn't do Maroon's anymore, forgot why, but I'm pretty sure I remember him telling me that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jgf86123 Posted April 2, 2011 Share Posted April 2, 2011 I understand the guy's desire to be protective of his stock, but not letting you even see his lightning maroon parents is a little dickish if you ask me. The cat's out of the bag and the beans have been spilled. He's breeding lightning maroons. Might as well let the only other person on the planet with a lightning maroon at least see his broodstock parents if he's standing 20 feet away from them. That's bad karma Apparently some people just don't know what day this is.... And seriously, callin someone like Dave, who's one of the nicest guys I've ever met names is just wrong.

jgf86123 Posted April 2, 2011 Share Posted April 2, 2011 ok, ok....you're right. They are his fish and he has the right to choose to not show them to people if he doesn't want to. I am glad to hear that someone is successfully breeding them. But I can't help thinking what a shame it is that the SeaSmart program that collected those fish met an early demise. If this breeding program was happening there it could have brought quite a financial windfall for the people of PNG. Seriously, some people are just gullible....

mpedersen Posted April 2, 2011 Share Posted April 2, 2011 Is it April 2 in your neck of the woods yet? Indeed, this was a classic April Fool's prank in true Reef Builder's style. Can't believe that "Lightning Maroons" got people not once, but two years in a row back to back! Thanks to Dave for being a good sport about it too...I had the images on hand from his contributions to the Fishroom Talk, and well, this worked better than me saying that I had been holding out and misleading people. Way better fiction this turned out to be Of course, only the parts about Lightning Clowns are actually made up...the best story weaves many strands of truth into the mix.
