What's the best pacman to pick?

[Poly]

I'm going to buy myself a pacman, as I just got my second tank set up!

So, I've been going over my options:

Green Pacman

Albino Pacman

Ornate Pacman

"Fantasy" Pacman

Which one should I buy IYO??

Also, I've read up on "Fantasy" Pacmans, and there dosen't seem to be anything different with them (other than their colour) and a normal pacman, what are the differences?

Thanks

P.S. If you have a Pacman, and are recommending it... pleeease post photos

The choice is really up to YOU Royce.
My only advice would be that the Fantasy should not be your first IMO. They can be delicate & difficult.
In our experience, the one we had was a picky eater and no matter what we did, was always stressed.
As far as colors go, that is just a personal preference......just make sure it's a healthy specimen!

Thankyou for the info, how about the colours of others, for an example, I heard of "Deep Red" Ornate Pacmans, the website I am ordering my pacman from only say "Ornate Pacman", and I have heard that there are 4 or 5 different variations of Ornates, so how am I going to know what I'm getting? Also, I've been on some other web sites, and none of them offer a choice of different "breeds (if that's whatit's called)" of ornate pacmans.

Also, when I recieve my baby pacman, should I put it in it's 10 gallon set up, or should I keep it in a 2.5 gallon "kritter keeper" for the first coulpe weeks?

Ornates come in many color phases like the cranwelli. The way you will find out is that you should contact the seller and ask for photos of what is available. When you decide which you want, ask for a current photo of the animal prior to purchase & shipment.
If they refuse, don't bother. Keep in mind that they will change in color as they mature.
The high reds are very popular because they are dramatic to look at.

Alright, I e-mailed the guy, and asked him exactly what you said, here's hoping! Here's the wedsite I'm ordering them frog: Captive Herps - Canadian mail order reptiles | SmugMug

OMG! The prices are soooooo cheap!!! :O They want 25$ for a Fantasy, Captive Herps wants 80$!

So, I'm in Canada, wonder if that's going to be a problem...?

That's a bummer, they only ship within the continental US right now. They mentioned they were looking to ship out of country, but that may be a long time.

That is a bummer auhhhhhh.

Do you have any pet stores by you?

[Poly]

Nope, the closest it 200kms away, and they only have reptiles, and to get a pacman ordered, it's more expensive than if I deal with captive herps.

[IvoryReptiles]

Out of curiousity, what are the shipping costs?

[Poly]

I think 12 dollars or something like that, but the prices are what I don't like, 50$ for a frog that's normally 20$, waaay over priced!

If I could get the frog I WANTED a "high red" ornate, I wouldn't mind paying the price, but the guy siad no dice to the photo thing.

[IvoryReptiles]

I think that refusal alone would make me think twice. Why wouldn't you send a photo of the animal to the customer? Just My personal Opinion, but we sell Pacman frogs and if someone wants a photo of the frog they purchase, I have NO problem with that.

LAME! That makes the seller seem untrustworthy and obviously no to concerned about making a sale. If he sent a pic it would say a lot about the seller.

Yeeep, well do you guys know any good places in canada?
