And I thought Gem Tangs were expensive.

    Your LFS had 250? What is it a wholesaler? Not many WHOLESALERS have room/$ for that!! Most wholesalers barely buy 250 Coral Beauties at a crack!!

    It would probably be cheaper to fly to Australia, Rent a boat, buy scuba equipment, pay the illegal collecting fine, and then smuggle them back to your country. :loco:

    The Doc is right. All it takes is one pair successfully laying eggs, and In 2-3 years time they're $10 clowns. If all cards a played right of course.

    Couldn't agree more. Not very attractive at all. I was just looking at my tank today and thinking....Wow...I really don't have any rare or unusual fish. Just the normal stuff. But then again....a lot of the normal stuff is soooooo attractive. I actually got a hippo tang today and felt that I was selling out (the Dori thing). I got over it in a few seconds, but again....a common fish that is incredibly attractive.
