    According to google, $140 AUD is equal to $92.5 USD... I would say your fish are more expensive. How big was your tang? I bought a juvenile yellow tang for $25 USD.

    Big sailfin tang in beautiful condition... I think he was $289. I was very unsure about it at the time but he's beautiful in the tank. My Chevron tang wasn't much less but both are doing well and look very pretty in the tank.

    If you multiply the individual cost of the hybrid Lyretail anthias that I just picked up by seven, it makes for a pretty expensive school.

    I bought a purple tang about 6 months ago. that was a little over the $100 mark.

    My next big fish purchase will be the borbonius anthias.... as soon as they come in season this spring. :) cant wait. Coolest fish ever. Google it if youve never seen one.

    I paid 30 dollars for a blue tang and a clown tang each, but my buddy paid 110 for his puple tang and he gave it to me because it got lateral line disease. It is all better now in my tank and it was freeeeee
