Wonder who is going to be the one to take a chance on this guy? Beautiful rare fish! Not exactly cheap, but nothing rare is

The last one sat on there for quite awhile.

Maybe if I had a blue backed aquarium

Haha, that's a good point

One of my favorite all-time fish. If only I had the extra funds...

This made my night. My wife didn't get how funny it was!

pretty fish but not worth 3.5K

I am almost certain this is the same fish which was on display in the GOL booth at MACNA this year.

I definitely stared for a while. It was tiny and amazingly impressive!

The gol fish went to Elos here in nj and certainly was a stunner. This is still an incredible fish, whoever gets her is lucky.

One of my Wrought Irons was 2" when I brought her in from Japan and let me tell you that it was the best fish I have ever owned.

She was a monster eater, and VERY VERY active. Loved watching her grow from 2" to over 6". IMO there are very few fish that have the subtle beauty of this fish and the pure elegance when they are interacting in a large system...

Wrong.

If I had the money I would buy this fish in a heartbeat.

I stand corrected. And now that you mention it, I do recall that and had forgotten. Thank you.

There are lot of fish out there that I just don't get the price tag on, Solar Flare Angels being one, however I do find this to be a very interesting beautiful fish.

Great pickup, quite a collection you are gathering there!
Do you have a build thread?

Wayne,

Wrought Irons are great fish. I've had a pair for about 4 years. They are bulletproof once acclimated to your tank. They are very unique looking and beautiful fish (in fact, they look much better in person than in pictures). I'm not sure if it has made a difference, but I run my temperature at 72-73 F to accommodate them. My other fish and corals don't seem to mind the cooler water. Good luck with yours!
