Candy Basslet back in Diver's Den

[JuniorMC8704]

Just wanted to give everyone a heads up that they have one in stock.

I would be all over it if my tank was up.

coolest fish ever!

 

[Azurel]

$900 though is toought to fork over.....But that is one hot fish..

 

[Sikryd]

Nice little fishy! For 9 bills though I might just book a flight and catch him myself! lol

 

[Poseidon]

Great fish for sure!

 

[twinspots_goby]

That is one my favorite fish all time.

 

[FaviaFreak]

I believe Unique Corals has one for sale as well, I saw it last Sunday and they are amazing in person

 

[SaraB]

I've seen them in person too and they are stunning!

My wallet (i.e. Husband) says I can get the Swissguard only!

 

[EliteReefs]

always thought these were great but not 900 bucks worth of great

 

[Reef Empire]

Man, is that a cool fish... 9 bills though... Ouch!

 

[Viva'sReef]

$900 doesnt seem too bad....Wasnt it 2x the price last time they featured this fish?

 

[Tomasz]

Great fish, but $900 OUCH.

 

[Sikryd]

$900 doesnt seem too bad....

I WANT YOUR JOB! Whatever you do, I don't care!

jk

$900 is crazyyyyy for that thing. Might be one you have to see in person. Not to mention it better do some tricks, play dead, and all that stuff

I take that back - at 2.5in - It better be able to jump out of the tank like shamu, do some flips, splash me in the face and then wag its tail for food!

 

[MarvinsReef]

only if you can frag it?!?

 

[grknyer]

Pretty fish but for 9 bills I would rather get the macro lens (105mm)for my Nikon I so want.

 

[Viva'sReef]

LOL I was only considering the $900 being "not too bad" only because I thought I remember it being over $1500 last time I saw it on Divers Den. These things are RARE in the hobby, and they are very hard to collect needing rebreathers and diving down over 600ft I thought?

 

[stunreefer]

They had a gorgeous pair for sale too ($1,700) : http://www.reefcentral.com/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=1649083&highlight=candy+basslet

They are found from 50'-230', but are generally collected on the deep-end of the spectrum.

 

[Viva'sReef]

Austin I knew it would be you to chime in and correct me LOL.....you always amaze me with your knowledge

Now I remember though, it was a pair for that $$$$ amount.

We are seeing more and more of the deep water species these days. Maybe I can get a used decompression chamber and make a tank out of it....

 

[Jon Warner]

Liopropoma Carmabi... one of my faves.

I last saw them on Wholesale lists from Dynasty for $1000+ 10-12 years ago...

$900 is a steal! :snicker:

 

[Neon Reef]

Something that hasn't been mentioned on this thread yet is that they are known to be quite reclusive. While $900 isn't too bad considering what a stunning fish it is, I would hate to spend that much and only see it in the shadows once in a while. For $900 big ones, I would want it out front juggling for me when I get home from work every day. lol
