Gorgeous. But remember they have the personality of a Passer Angel, so be careful what you put it with. I had one many years ago, back when they were selling for about $100.

Gorgeous fish but holy price, batman

Maybe it's 4500 yen? seems expensive for a single fish, what's so fancy about them?

+1...used to order direct from Steve R at Sea of Cortez, ~25 yrs ago!

The only thing I'm paying $4500 for that comes from the sea is a mermaid, and she has to be hot.

lol, I wish I remembered a $100 Clarion...

The 1st one I ever came acros was in 1990. It was $400. I used to call all the lfs that advertised in the back in the back of the saltwater mags and ask what they had in stock. At the time we were looking for a clarion, conspic, or chrysurus. Icalled a lil mom and pop lfs in Arizona and they had a baby clarion live in a 45 next to their cash register. They called it "their pet" lol, but sold her. In thought I hit the jackpot that day! They shipped to nyc.

When/where were they $100?

They can be aggressive if threatened but imo/ime, they are not close to passer, emp, or queens in temperament and as they grow they get even mellower..

ahhh, those good ole days....

I would be keen on giving it a go. Does anyone have any good reading on how to breed angelfish, more specifically the apolemichthys family?

From the information that I have obtained breeding them is easy, raising the larvae is difficult.

 

[WayneL333]

yes, they are the only folks churning out the tb...

I don't think the one in the pic above was cb. It says it was legally collected so I assume it came in recently.

 

[Blue Ring Sting]

Oh yeah, my bad. They coming off the production line hot and fast these days. Wen-Ping Su is really doing a great job. Are they only doing Clarions?

 

[breederforlife]

No they are doing quite a lot of fish actually. If you look in the DD of LA you will see that they have a maze angel from baliaquarich for sale. A few months back they ptoduced quite a lot of annularis angels. They are also doing clownfish and are trying to breed lots more.

Craig hasn't gotten any lately and I think they are still the only ones with legal permits to collect them...Wen just released a lot of them, various sizes- from last year's 1st batch to their latest, assumed that lable was wrong.
