Will anyone buy the $7500 fish?

[Fish559]

Still available. Just find a buyer for one of your kidneys and it's yours!

[Jason9488]

I will take 2

 

[Fish559]

Bonded trio?

 

[Fish559]

Maybe a small harem?

 

[Daddyrawg]

typical coral frag price

 

[d-man]

Wait for it to go on sale then a 20-30% code and it’ll get swooped up

 

[alton]

It has gone through a 20% and 25% savings and still there. Although the Clarion is a nice rare angel, the Conspic has always been the holy grail. And captive bred it is $4K to $5K depending on the warranty.

 

[Fish559]

I think the Clarions are so much prettier! But I guess I've never seen either fish in person. Conspics get pretty big, right? Probably pretty awesome in real life.

 

[ca1ore]

Apparently not .....

cleaning out my lifesavings now

Purely out of curiosity, what makes this fish 7k and any other angel about 100$? I mean I get that it's captive bred and that demands a slightly higher price, but 7 grand!


I personally don't even find it that beautiful of a fish.



Although 7k certainly isn't a drop in the bucket, I have seen a platnium arowana for 400k in this little boutique fish store. All this place had was super high end equipment and fish. Felt like I needed a suit, tie, and invite to get into the place.

If memory serves... These guys are only found in a very limited location off Mexico that doesn't allow (legal) collection.

 

[d-man]

Correct^ however they are also CB. That being said they now require CITES permits and in doing so, only a certain amount are allowed to be brought into the US.plus the shipping is also a lot

Supply and demand appears to be the answer

 

[WVfishguy]

This is the sort of thing lottery winners spend their money on. Then you read about them living under a bridge one year after winning......

 

[saf1]

One did sell. I believe there was two. One sold right away while this one is still around. Residual income is nothing to some people and a blessing and a curse to others.

 

[Fish559]

Some were saying the first Clarion didn't really sell - that LA/DD just pulled it for some reason.

I'd be tempted if the took off a zero....and I had a 50% coupon after that.

 

[nikon187]

3-5 day collection a year in mexican waters. wild caught are still 2-3k, if you want to see expensive angels, genicanthus personatus, or a peppermint angel or conspic will be alot more

Wonder how their DOA policy works on a $8,000 fish.

Probably deliver it to you personally
