VT is ST?

[azon]

Don't need to make things so difficult.. it's the 6 or 7 bar thingy.. 6 bar more ex then 7 bar lor..

Hardly to see any high end ST landed here, More and more VT,CT flooded. Eventually, will take them as true ST for new hobbyist like us. As that the only perfect "ST" flooded in our mind..

Why I say ST is not from Chao Phraya is because I did verify with the Thai who are long time in the fish trade even 2 years back those so call ST wasn't even from Thai.. they just wild caught along the Mekong region..

Aiya, nvm la...this type debates will go and on
I hv not been to both cp n mekong n see the tigers swimming in the wild(not inside a kelong net). I mean to be frank...none of us hv seen to be v sure

Lastly, u not ray experts then who is?

Like tat easier???

I agree with u bro.

Datnoid Pulcher should be priced at it's species' pricing.

An Datnoid microlepis (IT) even though may look very very much like an Datnoid Pulcher, should never be sold as an Pulcher. It's a matter of integrity...

I don't care the pulcher comes from where as long as it is a pulcher. Even you tell me pulcher last time exported to america, now come back to singapore, it is still a pulcher (You don't tell me it becomes an AT because it has been to America hor).

Seller be it private collectors/lfs/farms should be truthful about the source their pulcher came from. Don't suka suka call all 3 bar with ST tail an ST!! Doesn't mean all man with moustache is your lao beh right?

Just my 2 cents

i did a search and 1 of the video showing some PRC bough 3 VT size around 6"+ for almost $100 sgd per fish after convertion.

I believe if the china prc can find the source, we sg also can.

Agreed. Be it ST, VT or CT. All expensive!

So har, than what do we call a 3 bar IT which exhibits certain trails of ST like st tail bar, stability creamy Kim Kim like mao Shan wan durian, centre bar knife shape, still a IT? Or ST? No way to proof is not ST or it is a IT.....
