I bought one, there's one left at PW

How much does PW ask for?

I had one with white instead of yellow stripes, very easy to keep. Unfortunately it jumped out of the tank.

Cool fish, I was just there yesterday, i think the one they have left has whiter stripes. I am in no shape to pay 400 for a fish though

Brad,

it wasn't $400 it was $200.

I think when you see a fish that is uncommon you need to decide how bad you want it.

 

[puckbs]

it said 399 on the tank so who knows. want is not an option when you don't have the funds

 

[dickenscd]

I hope any fish which costs me more than $100.- will have good self-control and not jump out of the tanks.

Maybe pay $200 for the fish and $100 for fish obedience classes?
