It's not a typo. They're usually around 1k U.S I believe.

This is the first one I've seen for sale locally since I've been in the hobby. =)

When these first became available 2 were sold in the US for $3100 each definitely have come down in price

too expensive for a guy like me but i know a fella here that has one and it is a really nice looking fish. it's crazy to think that in this hobby that probably doesn't even top 10 in terms of expense.

1500 for a fish that you might see once every week at night time....too rich for my blood.

I was hoping you'd chime in.

I just went and saw a Candy Basslet today (in a client's tank). It's more cryptic than Scythanith's, but still just as beautiful.

I recently asked Colby to order me a Candy Basslet, and after seeing J&L's pricing I'm interested to see what the cost will be.

Jealous!

They're not as shy as some of the other Liopropoma species. I've sold a few of these and they're pretty consistently showy.

Went to check out this bad boy this weekend, swam right up to the front of the tank to say hello!
