<p>[QUOTE="KikoBlueEyes, post: 3216608, member: 8363"]Over the last few days, I have see a LOT of Murano fish. I was hoping to confirm the guess of the resale shop manager that this was Murano. It fits the bill in several ways:</p><ul> <li>The clear fins have been applied to the body</li> <li>Many of the Murano fish have an open mouth</li> <li>It has the striped/swirling colors of the Murano fish that have been labelled as 60's/70s</li> </ul><p>Here is where it diverges:</p><ul> <li>All of the ones with clean glass fins that I saw had fins on the bottom. This has a shaved, polished bottom instead.</li> <li>It as bulgy applied eyes. The others I saw had flat eyes.</li> <li>The rear fin has color inside of the clear glass. Only one had extended color into the fins and could have been misidentified.</li> </ul><p>There is a label on the bottom that is mostly worn away, and it appears someone wrote on it. He is a chubby little thing - 2.8 pounds at only 8 inches in length and 5 inches to the top of his fin. I paid far too much for it, but he is very cheerful. Any thoughts?</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]296730[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]296731[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]296732[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]296733[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]296734[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]296735[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]296736[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
