Sven, real tategoi are not easily sold by the breeders even if you have good money unless they could be assured of that the fish will be kept and grow well. Real tategoi are usually and mostly sold to the hobbyists in Japan by the breeders (or via dealers) if the hobbyist are well known to them. Sometimes the breeder will show you two "tategois' to choose one but actually there is only one real tategoi amongst those two. You could not buy both of them even if you do have good money because the breeder is testing your skill. This is the experience of a top Japanese hobbyist, Mr Kaneko, that I once read somewhere. He does have an eye of a tategoi. Hence if there is any dealer that offering any tategoi so easily it almost be sure that such is not the real one. If they do know that such fish is a real tategoi why don't they grow and raise by themselves and sell later with multiple price?
cheers
