Another victim of Czech rip-off fake-Granny's

Post by sidguppy »

Here is another motivated fishkeeper wich has unfortunately been booglarized by an unscrupulous LFS into buying something instead of the granny he thought he was buying.....

this particular critter I've seen before on this very site, perhaps in the catelog?
rings a bell?

anyone knows or has seen these faky's before?
preferably UK catfish keepers, since the victim's also a Briton.

?Adding his pictures:
I'm pretty convinced this fish is a hybrid, and I'm very sure it's NOT a granny, but I'd like some others to take a look at it as well;

if for example Erwin or HH are around: will you please check on this fish?

I didn't think it was a hybrid. More along the lines of a species in the S. schall group.

I'm very sorry, but how can you possibly confuse this fish with a granny??
