There is a store in NY sold Gem as low as $650 a few weeks ago. There had 15 in stock.
Tiny lennardi. I've never seen such a small one available. Hope someone on here got it so we can see updates.

Would be shocked if whoever got it could keep it alive 6 months...
Has no one had luck with them still? Too rich for me but I assumed they were Choati level difficult. Are they worse? I've had good luck with my Choati but I'd never spend more than a couple hundred for one of the difficult leopards. The LA guarantee does help though. Not sure if it is a reason for my success with the Choati or not but I gave it 4 doses of panacur injected into a mysis shrimp spread out 3 days between each dose. Mine came in rough shape due to a delayed shipment. Just floated to the bottom of my QT tank upside down and laid there for 2 hours. After that I picked it up and held it upright with its nose touching the sand in the tub. Shockingly it suddenly dug in and has been perfect ever since.
WayneL is the only one I know that has kept some alive for any considerable amount of time. Jordan (amongthereef) got them for him and he had them for 6-8 months before breaking down his tank.

I've actually been pretty impressed with the amount of Captive-Bred angelfish that have started to pop up on there! I know a flame angel in general might not register as cool&rare as the gem tang, but I love what captive breeding developments might mean in the long run (especially with rarer angels like the japanese pygmy)!! They even have a CB Blue Ring Angel!
