Barrie Posted July 5, 2009 Report Share Posted July 5, 2009 BEWARE there is a trade on TM that is for the above killis. They are wrongly called Misaj. This refers to the collection site and is not correct. This person appares to be either incorrect or trying to miss lead buyers. I have complained to TM so will see what they will do. I have no problem with the fish but to name it Misaj when they are not from there is not correct. I belive them to be aquarium strain. The seller has blacklisted me so he apares to have something to hide Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oeminx Posted July 5, 2009 Report Share Posted July 5, 2009 Misaj ? I am not aware of this location? Are you saying you don't know if they don't exist or Aware of them in NZ http://www.killi.co.uk/SpeciesDetails.php?ID=319 Second photo has Fundulopanchax nigerianus Misajé gold Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barrie Posted July 5, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 5, 2009 unless its just been imported, there are none here in NZ If they have just been imported, Im yet to see them, Im guessing they have just done a search and taken a guess to make them look rearer and more valuable Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oeminx Posted July 5, 2009 Report Share Posted July 5, 2009 That was my guess to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ryanjury Posted July 5, 2009 Report Share Posted July 5, 2009 This happens all the time with africans as well Really grinds my gears but I am yet to have trademe or sellers care, they see it as people trying to undermine their auctions, whereas I see it as people should be advertising correctly and not ripping people off.. Good luck Barrie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barrie Posted July 5, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 5, 2009 I suppose the next step is MAF ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alanmin4304 Posted July 5, 2009 Report Share Posted July 5, 2009 Best to keep Maf out of it. Most killies are permitted imports anyway so can't see them getting too excited. You see the same discussions going on over various African lake cichlids as well. I suspect they have done a google search and come up with a picture of a fish that looks like what they have. If you want the real thing--join the real club and deal with the real people. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
