Cool Fish on Diver's Den

[humaguy]

Ha, I wasn't suggesting it was a good sale price... BlueZoo has a CB Clarion "on sale" for 4k down from 6k... Neither of which are a deal

lol, they are dreaming about that price...that is a leftover from when the cb first hit last year, Wayne got the one from dd for 5k, if it was 1 of a small number- fair price, but it was one of hundreds..that initial pricing really messed-up the marketing for these fish...I bet you can get the on from bz for much less...I still like the wc better...


The pricing for some of these fish may seem insane but when you consider when they come from- some really isolated places and from serious depths, rebreathers/closed circuits are used, then factor in transportation/cargo fees, flights, and most importantly, this is how these people make a living, it really puts things in perspective.

I agree and some fish are well worth their asking price no matter how insane it may seem to some. It's all about what excites you

So aside from peppermint angels, are Clarions basically the holy grail, i.e. most rare?

Masked angelfish,Chaetodontoplus Ballinae, Nahackys, and Kingi are all rare. Depends on what you like personally

What about the Narcosis Angel?

Rare indeed but not very colorful compared to the others. Again it's all about people's personal preference

 

[humaguy]

a few more....hotumatua, abei, debelius, clipperton, A guezei..

lol, agree, I think a cocos lemon or even a trad lemon are much prettier than a narc! But, I do love the rarity of the narc...

???? What do you need a pair for?...Get one for less than $50 at most LFSs

I don't need a pair nor did I say I was buying this one it is just that as a pair these fish are even more fun to watch because of the way they swim and behave together

Tahiti lemon on DD today. I'm tempted every time until I remember what a ba$tard the last one I had was. Too bad; stunning fish.

Reef compatibility says "with caution"

That mouth looks tiny. Anyone know what's up?

I've seen 3 of those dr. Seuss fish in person- 1 at DD during a tour in WI and two at a shop in San Diego. Crazy fish, but even more crazy is the price tag.
