In the scheme of things thats not even expensive in the pet industry.
Rare Arowanas will go for way more, certain species of parrots cost way more.
Pedigreed show dogs can go for more than that. People that want the rare, different or collectible will always be willing to pay the price.

You can also find them for 2k in Canada, but all in importing one yourself would be less as well.

I've got no problem with some fish being worth $3500. I've seen some angels in that price range. Out of my budget but some fish are expensive for a variety of reasons. My issue with this is its way way way above retail cost. Even before the recent gem tang price drop the rare times I saw them in Lfs they were $2200-2500. Granted if you can afford 2500 you can afford 3500 when it comes to expensive fish but this just seems like gouging.

Just because that's what they are asking didn't mean that's what tell take. Especially if you haven't special ordered it. I made a fair offer on the candy basselet and the accepted. So we font always have to fell gouged. Just because you can afford it dosnt mean paying too much is okay.

the shitty part of buying an expensive fish is having it being bullied by a $5 fish thats a bigger PITA to catch
