Bowzers

[dannyab84]

As always the question remains how do we tell if our zoa is a bowzers or not? I recently just bought a claimed bowzer and could not tell if it was a CAR or not. The person said that the cars where right next to these bowzers when he purchased them and could deff tell the difference at that time. It's not really that I don't believe that he thinks they are bowzers but, after looking at many pictures it sadly looks like a CAR to me. I don't have cars my self so I don't know what the color difference is between the two. I thought bowzers where suppose to have orange? These have a pattered red skirt with a brighter red line of red then yellow to green mouth. I know it hard to see the brightness of the colors but, it's the best I could do with my iPhone lol. Any help guys would rock!!

Yeah I've seen that but, he does not explain the difference between the "dc" bowzers and CARS. They look so close....

 

[dannyab84]

Is it the orange with the red lines before the yellow maybe? And if it's all red does that mean its a car?

 

[PRomero]

my only suggestion is get a candy apple red ZOA to compare

DC's look more like CAO's IIRC

Ok, I guess then my question is if you can have a bowzer without having any orange on the polyp. I can try and get a car too that would prob be a clue.

Those are CARs I am sorry that this guy made them out to be Bowser. I hope you didn't pay more than 20 bucks??? It's a great looking polyp though!!!

I've gotten CARs with yellow and they turn to all red in my tank but bowsers never loose the orange. They loose the little bit of red but the orange lines are always there. Cars are usually bigger.

DEFINITELY hit the nail on the head with that description from Josh.

 

[dannyab84]

Yeah that's what I thought... I suspected that they needed the orange to be the bowzers. I traded a 25 head l a lakers frag and a 3 head of wow palys for it. I guess that's not to bad for a car lol .

 

[BBoley24]

Holy Hell! I hope it wasn't a dealer or LFS...

 

[Lidofishieboi]

nice zoaa!

 

[dannyab84]

No it was just a person Iv done trades in the past with. And there is 3 babies on it too. So it's not bad.

 

[dannyab84]

This is the mother... I can see a little more orange in these ones.. Or maybe I'm just trying to believe to hard haha!

 

[dannyab84]

I have my blues on right now and I'm pretty sure that what I thought was a red metallic ring that you can't see in the pics I first posted is orange.

 

[reid429]

It's a car

 

[BBoley24]

Unfortunate situation. It happens to all of us at one time or another. If you're like me.... my emotions will get the best of me and take a deal like that.

 

[ReeferEric]

Only bowser I know. LOL

Haha, that was the point of the story. DC Bowsers are not actually Bowsers.

In my thread I make a comparison photo between CARs and CAOs. CARs can get the yellow ring but only in high lighting and good conditions. CAOs have a very obvious yellow ring and you don't need to blast them with light to get it.

The morph that you posted doesn't have much yellow to see, so I'd safely group it as a CAR.
