Honestly, 2.4K was cheap… That fish was meant to be 3.5K but we wanted to sell it.

It’s what people do for a rare fish (I won’t lie, every time someone says about a rare fish being ‘rare’ due to its origin it can annoy me, these guys are only rare due to collection difficulties).

i would like to get 1 from TOP would probs cost me £2600 £2400 for the fish and £200 to tempt them to drive 350 miles which they said they would but if the next 1 they got they put for £3500 i would likely look elsewhere as everywhere else seems to be at the £2000-2500 mark and the site that has just quoted me £2250 seems to have very good reviews too

Yeah that's true. Honestly, even if people will pay a ton to have them, I feel like if they're really difficult to collect, maybe we should just be leaving them in the ocean...

Tell me that this fish is intrinsically worth upwards of $1000.

Great post. I've found that what I like in this hobby and the cost of that item don't seem to be related at all. Some of the stuff I love is super cheap and some of it is off the charts expensive.

Definitely agree with this.
If it has the colour and I like it I’ll grab it (I love this 1” Wartskin Angler we have in currently and it’s tempting to setup a new tank). If it’s expensive but drab I likely ignore it and don’t really like it.
In my eyes, a Black tang is a Black fish with an extortionate price tag.

I used to have a black tang in a previous tank. I loved it. I got one back when they were selling for 300-400. Wish I still had him. I think they are gorgeous. Those were the days when yellow tangs were still around and could be bought for 20 bucks! Also had an achilles before those exploded in price. That was probably my favorite fish of all time. Another one I truly regret ever selling.
