Cool Fish on Diver's Den

[evolved]

That nahackyi is one of my must haves, but cmon, $379 is a bit rediculous. I got a pair 5 years back for 250.

Meh, when you want one bad enough...
Yes, you can now blame me for supporting the mark up.

Talk about mark up. I think I can be blame for the mark up of the Gigantea, Haddoni and Magnifica.
Have you seen some of the prices on some of these at DD. Many of these are gone in a flash too. As long as people are willing to pay for it.

I'm surprised DD is selling a crinoid, aren't they like...Impossible to keep?

You need a dedicated system for them, but they are able to be kept if you are set up correctly.

Very cool. How do these rank on the trigger/aggression/jerk scale:

They aren't too bad. Usually the same temperament as a bluejaw. But still a trigger... Beautiful fish.

Do it! Do it! Do it!

You getting a crosshatch for the 625? Or did you have one already?

How about this guy for a large Reef tank like mine

Here is mine. Doesn't look too bad

Lol. Congrats Hunter. I just couldn't pull the trigger on it. If it were a terminal male, then maybe, but a juvi I just couldn't do it given tax time at moment.
Post pics please

I like the males but thats it and pairs often end up as two males. I had a 4.5" male and didn't love the fish like I had hoped. Will probably avoid triggers in this tank. Angels and butterflies, a few tangs more than likely.

If it were a terminal male, I wouldn't have been interested. They had one a couple weeks ago and it sold fast.
This is my preferred size; watch them grow and transition, and keep them for years. :spin3:

I'm with Hunter on this...terminal males are bigger money for shorter lifespans!

That's what I paid when I ordered my two about a month ago. Seems they got more than they can handle.

cost effective too in many cases

...and sometimes much worse...:sad1:

I read that these don't do too well as singles and need at least 2? And/Or they really like a little cooler temp to survive longer? Any truth to the 2 above statements ?

Seems to be the case with black tangs and bandits. Smaller means more $$ lol

 

[d-man]

Yes, hunter, although for me, my females never transition. I don't want "supermales", just a male, not a female
