Title: Long fin green dragon BN's...
Post by: Mugwump on March 25, 2013, 06:49:43 PM
These little devils are neat. I was watching them for a bit today, they darkened from a pale albino/greenish color to a darker green color when I put them in their tank...some even have a lime green highlight type expression on areas of their bodies and fins.....wow...like chameleons... ;D

How much do these guys go for at the swaps? I think they are really neat looking but hard to find. That scammer that "got me" on aquabid had a pic of someone else's lf green dragon ( that was also posted on aquabid at the same time! Gosh, HOW DUMB IS HE?) I was going to bid on it too, until Mark from aquabid warned me of the jerk and told me what he was up to. Glad I didn't now. If you guys can maybe get a few extras (if they aren't too expensive that is), is it possible to send them along with the Sta Isabella cross angels when it's good shipping time ? I just don't want any more of my money stolen! Skeered to go on aquabid now! lol  Would love to see some pics of them if either of you can try to get some on here. TY in advance.

Pleco Pete is a good guy. I thought someone said he lives in Detroit though. ??? If you ever have a question about a seller go to aquaboards to see what there may be about them. My tag is Indianwoodsangels on AB.

Awww...that's ok about picking some up from Pleco Pete, I don't want to trouble you Mug. If you can just get his contact info for me that will be perfect. If he doesn't ship that's ok. No big rush. I'll wait for one of your guy's pairs to spawn!  :)

Yes, Frank, I have seen your fish on there before and know of your handle too. I wouldn't hesitate to bid on yours or another member's fish. I just got taken by a person I shouldn't have bid on with no rating for an angel pair that happened to be stolen pics he got from another TAF2 member ( and I saw after that he stole the pics of the green dragon that he was also trying to sell, fraudulently, from another member that was selling this SAME PIC on aquabid! lol what an idiot...well me too for being so naive! lol) . I followed the link that Mark sent me when warning me ..after I had already paid...of the angel pair and sure enough, there they were.  Wish I had gotten the email beforehand. Oh well. My fault for being impulsive and thinking I was getting a good deal for a nice looking pair. Won't do that again! Lesson learned. 

The sad thing is, ( besides him stealing my money!) is that, right after that, I got an email from ANOTHER MEMBER on TAF2 who was also bidding on the pair of angels. He asked me if I was going to buy the pair, or not? I replied and told him the whole ordeal. He wrote back and said, "You're not going to believe this, this guy had written me and told me that the previous bidder as a d***** bag and then asked, did he want to buy the pair!" OMG... so right after he ripped me off, he goes and tries to rip off the 2nd bidder too? WOW. Unbelievable. I told Mark about this also, and told this other TAF2 member to stay AWAY from this guy. Paypal has issued a red flag on him now too.

Anyway, thank you both for your kindness and consideration!
