Very nice.

I had one a few years ago. What is the going price on them now?

I heard they were back up in the $200- $300 range again.

That's about right.
There's no breeders around here and they had to be shipped in.

Beautiful fish! I had hoped to have one when I was keeping fresh water tanks but could never find one. Very very nice!
