HAHA :beer:

It sure is an awesome fish...but I think I'd be under the doghouse. Not in it...she'd just skip that whole part of things.

I like rare fish, coral and inverts... but this guy isnt so pretty..

Huh? Well beauty is in the eye of the beholder. I think the Wrought Iron Butterflies have a beauty all their own. Not flashy or art deco like many reef fish, but very handsome.
Still that is a hefty chunk of my year's total pay. Alas, I still owe many debts, that guy won't be coming home with me.
Plus, I cannot keep my tank cool enough in my climate. Drat!

I saw this fish in person this past weekend, it is amazing and eats everything. I was quite tempted to grab it when we were there, awesome size!

I can tell you from personal experience owning 3 of these fish that they are every bit worth the money. Only issue I have with mine is that they get uber aggressive. Mine was 2" when I got it and is now over 5.5" in just 2 years

Think how excited you would be each time you checked your tank, hoping that the fish was still alive. :lol2:

Excited the same way I feel when I've bet too much on a hand of blackjack.

So true!

I can see the appeal to this fish. Hopefully it finds a good home as not too many make it to the US.
