How much was your Flame Angel?

[Salty Brother]

Im going to get a flame on sunday, so I thought tonight I would call a few places to see if they had them, and what they cost. I dont remember them costing as much as they said, two $60 and one $75. The price isnt going to stop me from buying one, and the one I think Im going to get the guy said was about 2 inches which sounds great. I was just wondering what other people paid and also about what size they were.
Thanks
P.S. Thoes frags are sure going to come in handy :thumbsup:

Same at my LFS.

 

[integlikewhoa]

i think mine was 35.00 at my local store

They're anywhere from 30-40 bucks around here.

$40 at my LFS, plus I got a 10-20% discount (forgot).

Ask them if they do a quarentine of their livestock before they make them available for sale. I know my fav LFS QT's for about a month, which raises the price of their livestock. I have only had one fish die coming from them, but that was my fault (hawkfish decided that the new jawfish would make a great snack!)

ChinChek787, Ill make sure to do that, I wonder why they are so expensive now, because before I thought I remembered them being like $35. Ill call tomarrow when they get there new order in.

I was also surprised my LFS sells healthy power blue tangs for $35/ea.

depending on where you are and where the flame came from.
The ones from Hawaii will cost double those from christmas island (99% of the retail flames come from x-mas island)

Hawaiian ones are MUCH prettier and brighter, so the divers who catch them (they are rare in hawaiian waters) charge more.

60$ isn't a bad price.. Although according to some posts here, its high.. lol He might have a bad wholesaler who get them for more money..

Yeah, I've seen flames vary greatly in appearance....from dull, muddy orange/brown, to brilliant orange and yellow, to stunning almost solid red. I'd pay more for a better looking/healthier specimen. just my opinion.

just ask them to feed it to make sure it eats before u buy

 

[dattong]

$25 no tax

 

[zemuron114]

seems like most people are getting them from indo pacific. I see hundreds come in and out of Hawaii from x-mas island and they are 20$ a piece (this is BEFORE wholesale) The Hawaiian flames cost 30-35$ a piece (that is DIVERS price)

i wonder where everyones LFS is buying from... some cheap flames...

 

[hot4teacher]

Here in Japan...

$68...and mine passed away 2 weeks into QT.

 

[Paul Davies]

they cost about Ã"šÃ‚£40-Ã"šÃ‚£60 over here in the uk.

 

[NexDog]

hot4teacher - I'm in Kyushu and yea, I paid over 7000yen for mine - $65+.

$35 at the LFS. The Bengals were doing good this year, so I suggested that he double the price and call them, "Bengal Fish." Probably would have worked, too!!
