That's a bunk list though. I could come up with 10 fish more expensive than the Candy Basslet without including any in the video. Hehe. Look at rare wrasses alone...there are dozens over $1000.

These are all over $1000:
Earlei Fairy Wrasse Male
Bell's Flasher Wrasse Male
Femininus Wrasse (i think this one was in the vid)
Claire's Fairy Wrasse
Lennardi Tamarin Wrasse
Peliciers Perchlet
Gem Tang
Joculator Angelfish
Crosshatch Trigger Male
Sunrise Hogfish

I've never seen a Candy Basslet over $1000 either...until now.

Met a guy a Macna who can get these fish landed in Los Angeles for $150. 🙊

We spoke at length about it, because of this thread.

Don't ask me for his contact info because I'm not sharing. Lol.

I don't doubt it, but let's compare apples.

Probably $150 US for starters, and if he's buying from a wholesaler he needs to buy enough to fill a box, so probably at least eight of them, maybe more. Plus shipping on top, international air likely $150 or so.

Won't be any Candy Basslets for awhile now because of Hurricane Irma.

Honestly though, health is more important than price to me. The one at J&L looks fat and happy in the pic.
