Is the comment above true? Seems like they had a part but wondering after reading that.Glady Moore says:
I am greatly amazed at the fishing of the advanced technology. Keep it up.Paul Loiselle says:
The black-striped fish doesn't match any Mexican species, while the barb and goby strongly support an Asian locale for the video footage. Wherever they are located, the platies are obviously doing very well for themselves.Nate says:
This platyfish pictured at the bottom looks very similar to x. Variatus 'La Minzita'.ernst van Genne says:
Its a bloody shame to mistreat "glow" fish. And also to commercialize it in Amazon Magazine. Real aquariumlovers try to keep fish on a natural way, this is the opposite. People do a lot for money, this is an'example.Ken says:
https://www.youtube.com/shorts/3zgX-HbK0Vs I found this youtube video, what looks like someone has the SKHC in their home aquarium. Hope this is helpful. I would love to have these swimming around in my aquarium.
