This is one of my latest fish. From a breeder in Indonesia. Listed at 25.00 USD but plus shipping with 3 other fish ends up costing more around 45.00. What do you think? 9 cm long here.

Can't comment on the price, but this moor has very beautiful caudal fins and a nice deep body. Can't see much of the eyes (size, evenness). And he seems to be jetblack with no hint of orange - hopefully he stays black.

From what I can see - got potential - but looks like top view might suffer abit due to the lack of spread on the tail. Colour needs developing too. People say that blacker the tummy the more chances the fish will stay all black throughout it's life - comments anyone else?

Looks some fading on belly and finage edge...or is it the light too strong?

Hump higher will be better...

To get this size at the quoted price is ex...(not sure where you from)...as black moor is subjected to lots of change as it grows....

Closed up view of the fish will be appreciated, especially on it's head (eyes balancing and clarity)...

Actually this is the picture the breeder sent me. I already bought the fish, but am still waiting for the shipment to come to America. I will post clearer pictures when I recieve the fish, as well as pictures of the other 2 fish that I bought from him. However the one pictured above is the best quality of all of them. He will be spending the summer outside in a large trough, so hopefully the green water and sunlight will help his color remain dark.

does this breeder have a website? can you pls provide the link?

Posted by: GA Secretary Sun, 09 Apr 2006 3:38 pm

No this breeder does not have a website. The fish was listed on a fish related auction site, and after purchasing the fish through auction, I contacted the breeder and got two more from the same spawn, though they are of slightly lower quality. The breeder also has very nice short tail tricolor telescopes, and sells fish under the name walet_fc on aquabid. His other auctions are heavily overprices however, as they are mostly very large specimens.
