I don't think he will I am going to keep my Dragon girls Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anasfire Posted January 31, 2009 Report Share Posted January 31, 2009 He might develop more dragon scales, some may have been nipped off in the scuffles..u said he was being picked on. Either way $6.95 for a dragon is AWESOME! I want to pay $6.95 for dragons :lol: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

luv_my_fish Posted January 31, 2009 Report Share Posted January 31, 2009 I can't believe you found him at an LFS, and for only $6.95!!!!!!!! He is stunning! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
miha1967 Posted January 31, 2009 Report Share Posted January 31, 2009 Please excuse my ignorance, what is Lfs? The guy is gorgeous and I think the pic is very good. I spent hours trying to photograph my fighting fish and I found it so difficult. I don't think I could get any good pics because they are in a continous movement. Anyway that is a greta find! I hope he will be alright and have a good and long life. All the best Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Canfeleq Posted January 31, 2009 Report Share Posted January 31, 2009 (edited) Good find. They obviously didn't know what they had. Edited January 31, 2009 by Canfeleq Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chuckie Posted January 31, 2009 Report Share Posted January 31, 2009 No worries It happens to pretty much everyone til it gets explained. There is a thread about "use of quotes". We're hoping to have a remedy for it soon, which we're looking into, but meanwhile we just ask that people avoid the "REPLY button :D OMG Jo I forgot to say (in satisfying my quote obsession) what an awesome little fish that is. I love him! Usually dragons start with patchy scalation and it fills in, but not all of them get a complete 'coat of armour'. Hopefully he'll develop better overage as he grows but even if he doesn't he's got great conformation! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jess Posted January 31, 2009 Report Share Posted January 31, 2009 WOW! great score there!! Were the females latching to him? If so, run back as fast as you can and grab a girly! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bettarazzi Posted January 31, 2009 Report Share Posted January 31, 2009 Excellent find. The dragon scales take longer to develop. So hopefully they'll increase with time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jo oakley Posted February 1, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 1, 2009 Cool thanks Bettarazzi I would like to know if this girl is a Dragon I think she is she looked more like a Dragon when she was young Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chuckie Posted February 1, 2009 Report Share Posted February 1, 2009 I'd say monster rather than dragon. It' hard to tell without seeing her fins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jo oakley Posted February 2, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 2, 2009 (edited) Lilli what would you need to see to find out if my girl is a monster? she is a marble and got a lot darker as she has grown Monster? white face and or thick scales Edited February 2, 2009 by jo oakley Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jo oakley Posted February 13, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 13, 2009 HI guys I thought I would pop up a new of LFS boy I like him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chuckie Posted February 13, 2009 Report Share Posted February 13, 2009 I like him more! LOL! Sorry Jo, I didn't see your last question about why I thought she'd be monster rather than dragon. If the thick irid didn't extend onto her fins, I'd call dragon. But I am not sure anyone really knows the difference, sometimes... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
