lol.
but like bogwoodbruce said, theyre overrated. personally, i think a 3" L190 looks better than a 3" L046.
 
Sure they are pretty to look at but when I owned 3, they were like statues.

Unless they get back down below $30, I rather buy a stuffed one for my tank.

I saw a grpups of 40 zebras on aquabid today for $24000! But, i suppose anyone who breeds them makes good money.
I seen that too. I was thinking to myself, "I bet I could get a couple actual zebras shipped to my house from Africa for that much."

Happens with many fish species. They either become endangered over time or bans get placed on export... suddenly supply can't meet demand and they fetch high prices. Blue eyed panaques used to be cheap also... now they are in the hundreds.
