An Update on Citra Reds - 2 weeks after arrival

Dear all,
We are hereby providing a small update on the Citra Reds, 2 weeks after their arrival at our Farm. Sizes are around 8-9 inches, but most fishes gill plates/cheeks are beginning to crack with colour, with some even seeing some form of early rim developments - all without tanning.

As their stocks are very low, prices slightly higher due to their bigger sizes and higher quality, we would start tanning these quality fishes so by the time they reaches 11-12 inches, hopefully, they would do the Citra brand proud.

Do sit back, relax and enjoy these newly taken pictures. Many thanks for reading.

Not all fishes are created equal - the top fish has a deeper blue sheen than the lower fish. Colour has started to crack on these fishes gill plates.

The most Spoon Head of the Citra Reds? Love thye deep blue sheen?

A very high bodied Citra Red with deep blue core. Long pectorals that extend beyond its pelvic fins, too.

New Discovery - Rim Colour!

Hi all,
When a supporter has asked to take video of a certain Citra Red (8-9 inch) this morning, we then discover that most if not all of these Citra Reds have not only deep blue core, cheek colour, but also rim colour - all at a mere 8-9 inches.

It is no wonder the Boss of Citra farm has asked for higher than usual prices for this batch, we finally knew the reasons why ...

See to believe the quality of this Citra Reds batch - no rim or cheek colour at 8-9 inches, don't buy! But if they do have, grab before our tanning starts as prices will only shoot up after 1-2 months of tanning.

Thank you all for reading.

Citra Red videos

Dear All
These are the newly taken videos of the Citra Reds at 8-9 inches. However, if you book them now, by the time you receive these fishes, they would be around 11 or even 12 inches at least!

Lastly, we had just heard that our Shelook Reds and Xback had arrived at the Toronto Pearson Airport safely yesterday. Though it was snowing and freezing cold there, all our fishes are safe and sound with a survival rate of 100% - thanks to our 20 years of exporting fishes experience at DFI.

Enjoy yourselves, and sit back and relax while watching these videos (please note that the first video is now termed, Fish A) -

Mrs Goh

Citra Reds, 8-9 inches in January 2015

Dear all,
Forgot to add this -

Standand features of this Citra Red 8-9 inch batch -
1. Longer pectorals beyond the pelvic fins
2. Cheek colour development
3. Rim colour development
4. Relatively larger tail.
5. Spoon Heads of varying degrees

All fishes have also been inspected for PLJ and DE and none of the available 6 fishes have this problem at this stage. If you are after a very Spoon Head feature, do check out Fishes D and E. However, if you are after the largest tail of the batch, then please check out Fishes B, C and D.


Thanks for viewing these videos, cheers!

Fish E sold !

Dear all,
Though are a few inquiries for Fish E, it has finally been sold to a supporter who acted fast enough ...

Still many good fishes at our farm, esp. the Citras 8-9 inches, with rim and cheek colour at an affordable price.

Many thanks to ZXXX LXXX !
