3 weeks, 2 days ago3 weeks, 2 days agoI assure you this is not a recent fish, as far as the color .Maybe a first, . I would never make up any kind of story Obviously testing will be needed ,I’m very excited to have the fish authenticated. I have not been able to find another one like it. I should be hearing from Perot Museum soon.
