Today i had a very nice lot coming in, the world of fish by Hausser Elastolin in OVP.
Although the same strange choices in species as in the bird-set, with very strange names, that i couln't even find on the internet, still a very nice set with fish and some other water.marine-creatures.
Here they are:
The whole set of 10 in OVP.
188209 Green Frog with the looks of a toad.
188309 Turtle, but i think it is a European Freshwater turtle.
188509 Hummer, which is German for lobster, so i guess it is the European or common lobster.
188709 Crab, which seems to be a Northseacrab to me.
188809, Saugfisch, which is a totall mystery for me, not to be found on the net.
The name is German for suckerfish, or suckingfish, but nowhere to be found, it should have been a species from the Northsea too.
It does look more like a carp with big eyes, haha.
188909 Barberpferd, which is another big mystery too.
I can't even find this German name on the net, it should be a European freshwater-fish, but it looks more like a cichlid-species from Lake Malawi or Lake Tanganyika...
Not even the translation-machines know this word barber, and pferd is horse, so what we have here?
189009 Rainbowtrout, not good in colour, but at least recognisable.
189109 Siamese Fighting fish, original wildform, not bad at all!
A tropical fish, very know by aquarists.
But a strange choice between all of these European species.
189209 European Perch, which has no stripes, which are typical for this species, and does look more like a North American big mouth bass.
189309 European or Northern Pike, which is recognisable again, but without the stripings and spots.
Anyway, a set that is very hard to get, and specially in this condition, because it is brandnew.
If anyone is interested, i can still get both sets, the birds and the fish.
