Video of Four Gem Tangs

[coralite]

I was at House of Fins in Greenwich CT this past weekend right before they got in four gem tangs. Lucky me, I had my camera handy. Check out the video sweetness.

House of Fins is one of my LFS but i like Greenwich Aquaria much better.

That was over $11k work of fish or does live aquaria just over price their fish?

:eek2:they're $6,500 each there...you should see what a conspic costs...

6,500? It's marked at 3,500. Pretty cool video. They look so much cooler on vid and watching them move around than in a pic.

 

[joetbs]

I wasn't referring to Live Aquaria. They're $3,000 cheaper

i think they probably got those around 1g or less tho.l

 

[Untamed12]

That's crazy. I don't think they are even that attractive looking.

 

[kes_reef]

gosh, these tangs look like they have ich! ;-)

 

[espocrespo]

in the USA gem's are expensive they are only 700 pound.

Very true. Knowing me, if I had this fish, I would wake up one morning thinking it had ich, dosing the tank for no reason.

 

[Cuteo3]

$6500 for a gem tang? You have to be filthy rich or brain dead to be spending that kind of dough on a fish. Duhh!

I second that, they are an "I've got money to blow fish" thats all. A flame angel is more attractive.

 

[LukFox]

Wow, they look a lot better on video than in a photo. Those are absolutely beautiful.

I might be picking up 1 of them Friday.
I strongly stress the word "might".. I hope everything goes through.

They are pretty common right now, I think $6500 is just ridiculous though. Supply & Demand I guess.

They are truly a beautiful fish in person, you have to see it to truly appreciate them... Flame angel's are nice as well..
