Biota Captive-Raised Cuban Basslet

[mattzang]

coming to diver's den today, assuming the Biota Captive-Raised Cuban Basslet is gramma dejongi

price predictions?!

 

[Angel_Anthias lover]

Between 500 and 1000 dollars maybe

 

[CoralNerd]

I was wondering if it was Gramma Dejongi also but maybe not

 

[mtfish]

Either sold on not listed today. Guessing is was over $1500. Anyone see it posted?

 

[Pbh-reef]

It wasn’t in the email from what I could tell

 

[mtfish]

It was listed in the sneak peek, but either sold quickly or was not released with the new listings.

 

[mattzang]

boooooooooooooooooooo

hopefully they list it tomorrow

 

[Pbh-reef]

They have 2 in the sneak peak email today...

Saw a tank full of these guys at MACNA. Beautiful little fish!

$3000- didn’t know they only grow to 2”- that’s significantly smaller than royal grammas if you have a nano tank. Hopefully these fish will become more available for less than $100 some day

 

[mattzang]

ouch, 3k is a bit prohibitive. hopefully they're easily bred and biota can get the price down a bit

DD does seem to add a premium plus the whole 'first' thing too

 

[Hemmdog]

I’ll pay $50

 

[Firedawg1983]

It’s up on DD now

I saw that tank and they are beautiful. I would have guessed like $2.5K so $3K that is up now is about right. Roughly 2.3K more than I could ever spend on a fish but look forward to them coming down in price some day.

I thought it would sell instantly..
A fish I have wanted for a long time..

But is not as attractive as the wild ones. Not much better than a yellow assessor.

 

[mtfish]

Not DD. First ones sold went for $4500. A lot of money for a basslet.

This is a 2" fish, that is $1500/inch. Would you even notice this in 100+ gallon tank?

You would notice it if it looked stunning like it was supposed to.

Gorgeous fish

That's what I said earlier on FB lol
Yeah, 100g I have 3 Yellow Accessors and they aren't the stars in the tank for viewing but they're pretty cool.
