    I went to a fish store I had only been to once before today, and boy was I blown away. The first tank I look at was holding some guys order. Id say the total cost of his order must have been over 6 thousand. I was able to grab a few pics. mostly the clowns. But wow this guys purchase was every one of my dream fish DAMN.

    His prices weren't too bad I thought either. 250 for a 3 inch Achilles. 300 a pair for the midnight. 250 for each platinum.

    I was talking with the owner and he can get any fish he said. He just sold a pair of wild caught onyx percs for 450 and I thought their info came out in December.

    300 Seems Pretty steep for a 3" achilles. I got mine for 280 and its almost 6", Most I see around the 3" mark are 150-200$

    Though with the possibility of them closing the Hawaiian waters, they might go up a tad. lol

    No sorry the achillies is 250. And the midnight clowns were 300 for the pair. Your right most achilies go for round 300 for a 6 inch. But I personally have never seen one that small in a store for sale. They're usually almost full grown
