    $60 wow that's the lowest price I've ever seen them. Did you lfs have any pairs or were they single? I would have liked a pair but their too expensive and liveaquaria doesn't sell them as pairs anyway

    FYI you can sometimes find pairs of various fish in the Diver's Den at Live Aquaria. Usually more expensive than buying 2 of the same fish because they're already paired.

    Somethings are harder to find in pairs. Granted you can try to pair them up but it could lead into a mess...

    yea especially with firefish as they are known to fight each other, which is why i can't have that one other dartfish even though i really want one cause the colors are amazing

    Well.. If dartfish are anything like tangs, you can normally do different species of them with eachother... dartfish are caution on most chart's i've seen with eachother. same as tangs.

    i want the purple tilefish. Same excat body type as the helfrich. I would take a chance at it if the helfrich wasn't so expensive. But don't want to take a chance at losing the fish when it could have been prevented
