Most expensive specimen i've seen at JL

Yes, Rikko, but you needed the 75 lbs of live rock to help keep your tank healthy. Do you REEEAAALLLYYY NEEED to sell your house to buy a $200,000 Arrowana

I spend more than I want to think about on this addiction, (& more than I'll ever let wifey know about), but I think most of us still try to get a good deal for our money. Just thought I'd rather own 1/2 a house than 1 "so-to-commit-suicide-cause-that's-what-I-do" fish like a $200 G Arrowana.

I know the guy who just bought the Dragon Eel. I'm not saying I would ever buy something like that, nor could I afford it but I will tell you I can't wait to go over there and see it.

Geez Jay, i thought you had bought it with your buying spree

I have seen 2 or 3 Gem Tangs (Z. gemmatum) go for around $2500 US in the last year or so. But, you can get them in Europe for around half that - you'd think you could FedEx it for a bit less than the difference.

Personally, I am very happy with my $29 yellow tang.

Na, I figured I'll just go over to his house whenever I want to see it rather than spending the cash myself. Plus I'm all tapped out from my recent "spending sprees".

I dunno, something as special as a Dragon, I could see doing an entire set-up /"star"-tank for a fish like that. Seriously, dog-lovers out there drop $3500-4000+ for a pure bred English Bulldog & don't think twice about it. Is a Dragon any less spectacular? Sure as heck alot prettier than a Bulldog, good luck petting it though ! In the proper set-up I bet it would be friggin' stunning.

So when do we get to see some pics of this thing?
