I was showing that fish to my daughter

...and then she saw the price http://smilies.vidahost.com/cwm/cwm/eek2.gif

[Ruth]

Yeah I know........pretty insane. I can self justify a lot of things and went through the usual list of excuse...er reasons why I should guy it and even with the price of oil up and the company I work for doing really well.....gotta love stock options.......I was still coming up a couple of thousand short.

hehe.. looks like he is wearing a monocle. :mrgreen:

[Ruth]

He probably is cause he can't believe the price either!

actually i just bought 2 for the hell of it, ill send ya one? just give me the address.

I find it odd that it's noted as the most "sought after" - sought after by who? I can't imagine that too many people keep these angels. Very strange, since I think several of the other Chaetodontoplus species are much nicer looking - and at that price you could buy a small school of them!

i mean i'm the first to admit that most times i spend too much in the LFS but come on, if i ever spent that on a fish, i pray someone would be kicking my @#$% before my wife got me. i thought the same thing when i read sought after, i'd love to see the person or the tank that purchases that fish. who would rish buying, acclimating and just 'hoping' that it survives it all. it has to come with some warranty

[Ruth]

Suprisingly there are many people that buy fish at least that expensive although granted they are mostly from the US and overseas. There are a few people in RC and Zeovit that have more than one. Some angels and other rare fish go for in excess of $10,000. The Hong Kong market for rare fish is very active.
So I take it no one is going to buy me this damn fish?

[J Feez]

How about halfer's? 50/50 tank time?

[Ruth]

OK but I get it first:mrgreen:

[j83]

Does it come with a warranty? Can you imagine getting that fish and then it dying in the first couple of days. . .

[Ruth]

I doubt a warrenty but it sure is tempting me!

[Psyire]

I wonder if you can purchase life insurance for it?

[Samw]

Which one of you rich guys bought it?

[niloc16]

wow, i cannot believe that the fish was sold. that floors me. i hope it was someone on this bulletin to gives us an update on the fish acllimation

[muck]

Ruth..........did you get it? :wink:

[j83]

I saw the fish today at JL and it looked in really good shape. Good luck to whomever bought it!

[SeaHorse_Fanatic]

I wonder if one person bought all those expensive fish: $2500, $500, $450 & $400 fish were all sold in the last day or so. Ouch.
