weedy seadragon price

[glh7767]

my calculations are that in u.s. dollars, they are over 4000 each. for a relatively frail organism. as they say on the shark tank, i love the idea, but i'm out.

Before they closed down earlier this year, Coldwater marine either had, or had access to Weedys (my friend who was purchasing an Ornate Box Fish was offered them). They were a little over a thousand USD if I remember correctly.
I suspect any wholesaler that deals with Cairns Marine or similar in the US can get them when available.

Hi ! Going to offer some updated information. I am a volunteer aquarist assistant over at Birch Aquarium, and we have both the weedy and leafy sea dragons feeding on frozen mysis here and there (the leafy sea dragons take to the frozen better than the weedys). We now have around 12 weedy seadragons in a tank behind the scenes in addition to the ones on display. The 2-4k estimate is right on target. There's about 8 cameras watching the weedy sea dragons 24/7 to keep track of mating behavior. I get to feed them every sunday One of my favorite tasks.

My sisters and I visited Monterey Bay Aquarium in the fall of 2008. They had some, I don't remember how many, leafy sea dragons on display. The vast majority of visitors just walked right on past the tank.

Going to that aquarium in a couple of months for vacation. Can't freaking wait.

that's obscene! i wouldn't pay $4K for a REAL dragon!

I would pay 8,000 unsullied for a real dragon.
