You can really tell the difference between the dwarfs and the normals. They look completely different. The dwarf ones are really ugly - so nowhere near as nice looking as this guy. I love giraffes, nearly bought two small ones for forty quid quite a while ago, but didn't have the space to do them any justice. If I get a fish tank again, it will be to house one of these guys!

good price. The shops near me all put them out at 6inch or so for at least 40quid. But lucky for me I don't think i've paid full price for any fish for at least 3 years now
