Blue Line Angels

[AquaKnight]

I heard through the grape vine that there were some Blue Line Angels in QT, waiting to go onto DD some time in the future. My question is, may we see a price break on these guys from the standard online price? In the way the recent batch of Blue Spotted Angels were under $100, and now, how the African Angels appear to be about $200 cheaper then last year's $499 African Angels. If you don't want to divulged a specific number, that's perfectly acceptable, just a general idea, if we may see a difference if all I'm after.

Regards,
Shawn

Shawn,

We do have a few Chaetodontoplus septentrionalis that are from Taiwan in quarantine right now. The fish are around 6" in length, and we have been conditioning these incredible fish for well over a month now. If all goes well I plan on posting them sometime after the first of the year for $399.99.

Chaetodontoplus septentrionalis- Blue Line Angelfish are available from time to time from Vietnam, and very infrequently from Taiwan. The fish from Taiwan are much sturdier fish due to better harvest, handling and holding practices prior to export. These fish are much more expensive than the Vietnamese fish, but the chances of success with the Taiwan fish in much greater.

The pricing of fish is dictated by numerous things, but the frequency of supply along with freight costs are the two biggest factors affecting the price of fish from specific regions. West African fish are far more prevalent than every before, and the pricing has come down on these fish so that we may pass this on to our valued customers.
