    i've been looking at some of the fish on the site and i have noticed that most of the fish have are from differnt parts of world, for example they have true perculas from singapore, Solomon Island, Papau/ New Guinea, Indo-Pacific ect.. and their all different prices. My question is, does it matter from were there are, what are the differences?

    thanks

    Mostly, with different locations, you will get a color variation. Some are more likely to be disease resistant. Also, if wild caught, it might react to fish differently according to what it was used to.

    To add to what jon said. As far as I know it really depends on the type of fish, for some there is very little difference, but for some types of fish getting them from different regions can mean a lot of little things which might make one more desireable than the other. I think you really would need to research each fish to determine if one location is better than the other.

    My 2c anyway.
