So I went to the LFS today...

[Matt724]

to do a school project. They let em take a few pictures, and they said they just got this guy and is selling him for half a grand. I don't know much about marine fish pricing, but I didn't think it was that great. I mean its one heck of a beauty, but the puffers were only like 200. I'll give you the store info if you think your interested in buying and live in socal.
Picture 1 is the fish thats worth 500, but I just thought I'dd add a few more pics just for kicks and giggles.

the fish is called a queen angel, for a big one thats pretty much the going price. people pay way more than that for big piraya.

 

[Cichla dude]

NICE

500 is unreasonable, honestly if you live on the south eastern or gulf coast you can actually catch your own.. $300 is much more sound

nice pictures, and nice fish

Yeah, my lfs is finally getting some interesting shipments. I guess the co-owners said that they hand pick each fish now from their vendors. They're really good.

In Hong Kong none of those fish would go above $200. The ray would be around $100.

But then it's Hong Kong...
