i think i wud kill for that RTC!!! RAWR!

You don't have to kill...the price was only $3,000.

Personally, I'm not a fan platinum variants, especially if they are of a common species, like rtc, gars, barramundi.

I can't justify spending money like that just because of the color, or lack of.

Essentially, they are common fish that sell for $30 or less in their normal coloration, so I wouldn't keep it in my tank or waste the money to buy them.

But I understand how others may want something like this, but it's just not for me.

Same goes for short body, deformed stuff as well...yuck!

its yen... 1 yen is worth like 1 cent. so in reality that shrimp was about $10.

look at all those freakin plat variants!! after seeing this neo's probably on his way to that store...

Dude, in reality, your math really sucks: 88,000 yen = 10 dollars???

BTW, the current exchange rate is not 1:100.

Here's a practice question for you: if 1 yen equals 1 cent, then how many dollars is 10,000 yen?

Tune in later for the solution...

Expensive! Did you pick up any?

Nope...not into the platinum or deformed stuff.

Besides, my flight did not allow for warm cargo.

But if I wanted, my buddy could ship whatever I want...it's just that I saw nothing I'd want to buy.
