Just wanted to share these beautiful little fish. We have had them around a week and it was amazing to be able to see them everyday

Sadly they are on the way to their new home already, but I got to snap a couple pics before they left!

Love those fish. Had I known they were so close, would have made the drive just to see them in person.

It's if you have to ask you can not afford fish. Deep water Angel fish.

True, I was just curious. I saw where a pair went for $30K

This is a throwback to the Mile High MACNA in Denver but I figured I would share it for those new to the hobby who may have missed it.

Hope some day that this fish can be had for way less than 20K. The marine hobby needs really needs captive raised fish going forward. We will not be able to rely on wild caught fish down the road as the climate changes and reefs become even more endangered.

WOW! That's about $500,000 worth of fish!

 

[Living Reef Orlando]

Thanks guys!! As some have stated, these are not cheap fish lol...
While we all hope one day they will be more readily available, it takes someone with Karens special touch to captive breed these beauties.

So what makes these fish worth $15,000 a piece?

Gotcha, didn't know what it was that was driving up price but that makes sense.
