black snowflake info

Starry · #1 03-30-2013, 12:24 AM

Anyone give me an idea as to what to expect to pay for a fish such as the following? Is this considered A/B/ premium grade? Also am I right in thinking each fish is unique in markings? (like a snowflake)
Thanks

You don't even want to know what our COST price is, you'll be lucky to find them under $250 each

What about Phantoms? They look pretty much the same, only not ORA. Dont remember where, or how old the post was, but someone was selling a pair for $175US. Are they available in Canada?

Any of these "designer" fish I have not seen retail for less than $200 per fish and they are normally sold in pairs for closer to $500. Cheapest I ever saw was a pair of picaso clowns for $250 but that's still $125 each. If you have the cash to spare great on you

but for clowns I will just with the basics.

Why cheap out on something like this?

The better they look the more you pay. These fish can live 10 years + so if you think about it thats about $1 a month. Get the high grade ones and pay the premium, it will be worth it in the end.

This fish will be even more difficult to find because of the little dots on it. Usually most of them have only white markings and it is very difficult to find them with holes in the marking. At least I have been searching for years here in Canada and never found a single one having this type of marking. Saw tons of them with snowflake patterns. I have a black ice that have a very faint spot on the white marking, but nothing like shown in this picture.

As for the ghost, it will take sometimes before they become affordable and even available, but eventually in a year or so they will be much more common.

I guess you missed the order Ken (Blue WOrld) did and the pair David Cooper (Aquatic Finattic) had for sale.
