Here is the Real McCoy with full patterns on all unpaired fin. Not the "brokeback" pair you got.

First off, I'll post this one as a test. This is my prized male I got from Dave. Holy crap look at the length of those lappets!!! (kinda crappy iPhone pic, but I caught him flaring).

Let me just put this out there... My bookmarks on my computer have no less than 10 aquatic forums I am a member of. On at least 5 of them, I posted last year that I wanted to buy some high quality apistos. On 5 of those 5 your name came up. That was before I even joined this community. Your fish are the real deal. I got a pair from a local breeder last year that I thought were impressive until I started watching these that you sent me grow and mature. The lappet length alone blows my mind.

So maybe you sent me a male that was presumed a female. You've been patient and stayed in contact with me even when maybe it was a little annoying. You stand by your product and are working to make it right.

Bottom line... slamming you for shipping a male that was presumed female is like slamming Ferrari for accidentally giving you a 458 Italia when you ordered a Testarossa.
