Are they born with no tail? Or got eaten up by other fish? I think $80 is over priced, right?

the guy at my lfs told me they are bred that way so they were born this way 80 is too much they charge 9.99 for a 4" here so 80 overpriced

They are not breed with this, they have the tails cut off. Pretty

overpriced, they call them "purple heart parrots"

when they are small they cut off the tailfin and as they grow, their top and bottom fins grow slightly larger.

really the way the tail shapes look almost natural i see no traits of cutting whats so ever well i guess

many stores in beijing cut the tail when there young,, and then when the grow up the top and bottom tail will slowly connect with each other.
