Cool Fish on Diver's Den

One thing about DD the fish normally will look better in your tank, than the picture they give.

Alton,
Did you just get this beautiful Blue Face?
You always love Blue face while I always love Narvacus Angel.

 

[alton]

Yes, and trying to pair with a juvenile BF. But this time he will stay in QT for 6 weeks. I am not losing everything like last time just because I got in a hurry and everything looked great.

Looks like you have a nice QT setup!

you should wait 8-10 weeks min

I can do that, I am not in a hurry to get rid of my large juvenile Imperator anyway that is in my display.

Well week one and this guy eats like a pig

I love it. Blueface angels have always been one of my all-time favorites. So glad I have one now too. Though mine is still in total juvenile phase. :0)

Anyone else see the flame wrasse go for $549 today? Holy smokes. That’s insane. And it sold!

Makes no sense tbh. Power of the brand name. Lots of other sites selling the same for $200+ cheaper

 

[mitchrapp]

Same thing for the bandit that went for $1599 the other day.

I think also there is the frenzy mentality of auctions/live sales, etc.

 

[Mknuwet]

Too bad I can ship my pair for $275.

I saw that and couldn't believe it. Not only did it sell it sold fast.

i have a male and female pair that i have to sell due to down sizing. looks like a good time to sell !

 

[LauraGreenImp]

I don't do auctions for *anything*, ever. Used to participate in art auctions (MANY yrs ago) - toxic atmosphere in general + I'm too competitive by nature.

W SW fish in particular, I'd much prefer to go through local hobbyist, *maybe* one "˜trusted' lfs. I was less picky w my former Discus setups, but, imo, FW setups are easier to tear down and re-start. (QT always, oc)

Makes my $180 transitioning female seem like a bargain....though I didn't think so when I bought it.

prices are now insane. i bought a bonded male and female last march and paid $250 for the pair at my lfs. i do have to get rid of them due to moving and downsizing.

Ha. I got a small female last month for $150. I can be patient

The Hawaiian Ban is causing havoc! Look at the Chevron Tangs, gone are the cute 2" and all that can be found are the 3" at $300 +, unless you want Xmas Island. By the way that is going there will be no more Hawaiian fish to be had!
