Pelagic Fish

Really awesome replica  .

Many thanks, Blaine, Sean, and Jetoar! With its matt colours and slightly coarse texture and accurate fin rays this one was an instant favourite of mine. The Largemouth Bass was a must have for me, too, but comparing the two with each other, for me the Goliath Grouper wins.

This is an amazing figure. Would you want to sell or trade it? I have some pretty rare figures you might be interested in.

This small pompano is marketed [on aliexpress - Ed.] as fake food, but given the variety of fish available at pretty good prices for their size I had to give it a shot. In a lot of ways it more than exceeds my expectations, the detail is better than the pictures show (I think it's almost certainly cast from a real fish), unfortunately it seems to be very fragile. I'm not about to cut it open and find out but I think it might literally be a sponge coated in plastic, as opposed to plastic stuffed with sponge, sounds like a subtle difference on paper but it's drastic in practice.

Overall I guess it's a failed experiment, but I'm glad I took the risk and found out (also glad I ordered just one as a test). If I ever want any large fish for a diorama or display these are definitely going to be put into consideration, but as figures they are just to fragile. The material reminds me of "stress-ball" animals that are often given out with promotional logos on them.

Nice! These are the kinds of walkarounds I love the best! More please

Ooh, that could be good for the sort of display you see at some aquaria, with schools of fish suspended on wires. I bet the material is a self-skinning foam - I've seen them offered by casting suppliers and the products seem similar to the description of this fish.

@sbell is that box set (Flippers, Fins & Fun) readily available? There are two nice species in it, the grouper included! Found only one set on Amazon Canada for 108 USD!!!

It's been out of production for close to 10 years... I do not think it's worth that much though!

Yes, that is too much for the two species in the set I want!

Anyone knows the difference between the queensland and goliath grouper?
