I have nothing to gain by bluffing. Didn't really have an awesome tank prior. Now I've got what I have wanted for a long time! Pics will come when they out of quarantine.

Congrats on the purchase. It was a little strange to see someone's first post be about Kingii but I guess you wanted to start with a bang. Haha. Any chance of a video of fishes in QT? These don't come around often among hobbyists and the community will certainly appreciate any glimpse of it.

I'm sure since they're in his or her QT then a video or photo should be available shortly. I'd be proud to own such a coveted, rare angel so I would have shown it in a heartbeat!

Congrats OP I can't imagine what you spent on it. :)

Thanks guys. Kingi's are 10 - 11cm. I was told that a juvenile may be available soon.

Price was not as crazy as I thought. Pm me and I'll share with you.

I just wanted to share it with you guys. I have nothing to gain by bluffing. Didn't really have an awesome tank prior. Now I've got what I have wanted for a long time! Pics will come when they out of quarantine.

I have my temperature at 21c. A bit cooler than normal but I only have them and 2 other fish.

My apologies. I saw it was your first post, and thought you were trolling..
 
Yeah I'm not originally from the US. Moved here a while ago. I tried using inches and Fahrenheit but I keep forgetting and going back to what I know

Your use of cm and °C makes me think that you are not in the US.
Where are you located, Americas, Asia or Europe?
I know that De Jong got a few A. kingi, either from SA or Madagascar.

I didn't really have much to be proud of before but things quickly changed. Yes ofcourse. I'll get them posted up soon! I hear there will be more to come...

My career doesn't always allow me to spend a significant amount of time in front of my tank, even though I feek it should. :)

I'll post a video up in the next day or so. Just being overly cautious now. Don't want to have something go wrong when I have full control.
 
Congratulations on the fish and welcome to the forum. Glad to have another rare fish enthusiast.

Looking forward to more pics and videos.

No worries. I do understand that it happens. :) Just recently got something to post about.

I wouldn't place too much emphasis on rare fish enthusiast. Think the Kingis will be my first and last thousand dollar fish. Even though I would love some extremely rare angels!

Not nearly as much as that. Do you recall the size on that one?

It was larger, closer to 4" or so. This was back in February when they first started showing up. That was what Eric was "asking" but no one was ever going to pay that. This one was available back in January and could fetch a high price

Well, that's kind of my situation too (originally from Germany) and I really can't find any advantage in the convoluted mess of units from the antiquity (quite literally) they so cling to here in the US. I kind of refuse to adapt to a system the rest of the world has deemed to be obsolete and dumped well over a hundred years ago. Especially Fahrenheit is a unit of little to no practical value, neither in science nor daily life.

BTW, any idea where these fish were caught? I kind of always want to know that for my fish.
 
I lived in the US 4 times longer than my early life in Vietnam and still use the metric system in my head. Given a number in metric system and I can visualized in my head how big, how long, how heavy .... Given inches, foot and oz (especially oz volume or oz in weight) and I have no idea.
