[Iwishihadgills]

How hard are these guys to get and what would be the expected price for one?

 

[cwoods8]

Really hard.....extremely rare and deep from hawaii...
I believe the last one went to asia not too long ago.....
i want to say in the 4 figure range

Holy cow!!! nvm Ill just stick with a nice looking Liopropoma mowbrayi. lol Ill get some yellow dots tattooed on him and call it good.

Liopropoma latifasciatum is almost as nice, though rare L.A. has had two of them available w/in the last year. I bought the later of the two, but it turned out that he had decompression issues and i lost him.......what a bummer as he was stunning......Kevin if your seeing this........get us some more!!!!!

I love the basslets and Kevin if you do see this please get some of these guys in. A few pics of the aurora below and some others I would love to see become available. What I really want to see become available is the Dr. Suess fish!!!!!!

How about these Kevin!!!

This is the ONE!!!!!

This will work too

wow, great pictures. i'm in agreement, we HAVE to get some of these!

I'd get rid of my fairy wrasses in a second. these guys colorwise, and i'm sure personality/temperament would make them a great addition!

cwoods8-The Liopropoma latifasciatum are very cool

I had mine with a swissgaurd, though bigger he paid the attention to the little Lio.

The arrowhaed soapfish, Belonoperca chabanaudi, that Tim posted (the darker one) sat at the LFS here for a while a couple years back, and by a while I think it was over a year. I believe it was selling at just under $100 too and was probably a good 4-5".

no info. i just found it in a normal phillipine/indonesia shipment in my country. we get alot of very unusual fishes from phillipines/indonesia because our country (Singapore) is so near, and these fish farms in which the fishes come in, usually order in large quantities.

many a times we just see very unusual and rare fishes that get shipped in by accident.

B. chabanaudi happen to be one of the many unique fishes we get to see on a weekly basis.

I bought it and passed it to my friend who is keeping a FOWLR. however it is not taking anything but live food. So he is currently selling it off.
