JMO -- getting a Potter's from Diver's Den is going to cost more -- you can be assured that they are healthy and eating, which is a huge deal for a Potter's. Then to have 3 of them together, that are eating and healthy....
If I didn't already have 5 dwarfs I would have jumped on them -- the money isn't chump change, but given where they would be coming from, it wouldn't be a big deal -- if that makes sense. Saying I would feel very safe spending that amount of amount, because of the condition they will be in.

It's the fact that it is a trio that makes it more rare and harder to come by. Also, the fact that they are offered on "the den" means that they are eating and healthy, double win.
I just did not have the cash, it is without a doubt a very fair price.
I find it too expensive for just a trio of regular angelfish. They are not rare or uncommon. Normal price for a fullgrown healthy adult is 80$
This is one adult and two juveniles. It is not a mated harem. Its just an adult and two baby's. I have seen more pairs or trio's that exist of a big one and a small one, but it is no guarantee for a good pair. It isnt even a pair!
If you include shipping costs you are paying 400$ for a big potter who tolerates two smaller ones. I would at least want a mated trio for that kind of money. I didnt even pay half that kind of money for my healthy flake and pellets eating achilles tang. I could get two feminine wrasses for 400$ Or a pair of candy basslets. This is a really good example of how much prices can vary between country's. Europe is 10 times cheaper than US.

If you find them too expensive... Don't Buy Them -- see how simple that is??
You are telling me, that in Europe, that a trio of HEALTHY Potters would be around $40?!?! Because that is what your math works out to be.
Your definitely entitled to your opinion, but the person who bought them really decides if it was a value for them.
BTW, if you can get me a trio of Potters that are acclimated and eating in an aquarium and guarantee them for 14 days, let us know, I am sure we will be interested. :twitch:
I said 80$ per adult? I dont see were you come up with 40$ for a trio. You should get a calculator...
I'm not saying they arent worth it in the US, but I do know that this kind of price would be way over the top for a trio in my lfs. I am just pointing out the difference in prices all over the world. I saw a feminine wrasse on DD for sale for 1400$. I asked my lfs for a healthy and eating specimen, costs 230$ I didn't have my tank cycled so I skipped this one, but I am very suprised to see such big price difference. How come prices are 3-10 times higher in the US? I am curious about that.
I said 80$ for a healthy adult. Not everything is divided in 10 you know. I am not being dramatic, it is just an expression but yes, somethings are 10x cheaper. And I meant in general, since I already told you the price for a potters.

I would not be worried about price on these because I am sure they are all in great health thus justifying the price.
What I would be more worried about is the long term success of this trio in someone's home aquarium; many of these so called advertised trios are fish placed in hold tanks together and they get along.....but later on down the line it may not be the case.
I hope whomever got these is ready for some possible bickering.
It is a great looking set of fish though. Great color.

I love DD, but I was surprised at the price from this post. I didn't know Potters' Angels could go for that much money. I bought my pair individually at a LFS, almost killed each other, but paired up after a few days. They are so awsome to look at when paired up because they act like a cute couple. I think I only paid $25 for each fish. I guess I got lucky.
Having said that I buy quite a bit from DD, so they def gets a thumbs up for their service, unique variety, and guarantee.
