I am going to pick one or two of the fish from this bowl to take home as an early fathers day present later today. As for the background on them they are from Japan, but i am not sure of the farm(s) yet. They are $50 a piece, which may seem high to some of you from other locations, but they are the only fish within 250 miles from japan available and i would rather pay a premium to one of my fellow hobbiests than a constant outflow of state income tax to uncle Sam 😉. God bless Texas! All that to ask this: does anyone see any hidden gems i may be missing? I am partial to the solid color fish at the moment, but am not opposed to getting one with a pattern if it might have an interesting future.
