id rethink the friday shipping, if it gets held up they wont deliver on saturday possibly,...if they are eating tomorrow morning id get them shipped. they were eating today.just a though
Yeah, I was thinking about that since its the holiday season. However I've never had a shipment be held up...especially on UPS since I live about 20 min from their world hub. That said I probably just jinxed it, haha.
I might call Michael tomorrow and figure it out.

It's your call bud at this point it's not about the money or a credit, because who knows when they will be available again, i have only had a shipment held up once, and the fish was fine, naoke fairy wrasse. I was so stressed out but he made it 2 days in a box. Still with me today. Either way I hope all works out for everyone I know for 1 I'm very happy to own these fish, I never though it would come through. Now p. attainaus and im going to be good for awhile.i will have a hard time acquiring that though. Either way can't wait to see what these fish look like in person

I smell vendors taking advantage of a situation right now. Similar to what happened with blotchy anthias and the white gap gobies.
White cap gobies went from $900 to $140 in a matter of months.
I have no problem understanding paying a premium for deepwater wrasses, terminal males or rare pairs.
Like the examples above, it feels like price gouging. I'm just offering up a buyer beware, because there seems to be no morals in this hobby anymore.

CONGRATS to you both! I may stop by Michael's tomorrow to inspect them myself!
yeah, no kidding... I hear some paucifasciatus butterflies are going to show up. Do I pay $600? Do I wait another decade? :headwally:

mine shipped today. well see how they look in person
Mine should be shipping today as well....my male & female
Figured it would be safer to ship today than tomorrow. Good luck with your shipment....and everyone elses too. Don't forget to update everyone
I could be wrong, but I really don't think RS 8 lines were $50, a few years ago, or even 10 years ago.

they were 80-100$ a few years back pretty consistently. However, everything in the red sea went up in price, and from what i understand the 8-lines are deeper and more remote than the purples/sohals/semilarvatus etc. Plus the shipping is round-a-bout which adds a lot of extra expenses.
i think 200$ for a large male is a fair retail price now a days...
paucifasciatus butterflies will be more than 600$... those are expensive little things. lol
