    Yea let me try to explain that purchase to my wife,

    "Hey hun cancel the vacation I bought us a fish instead! I promise you will really like it!"

    BREAKING NEWS
    " Man beat to death by his wife for buying a fish in Pittsburgh PA. The suspect has been taken into custody."

    HA, yup.
    ...and the news would show her as a women of strong character and fiscal responsibility. She'd be outta the klink before the sun went down.

    ...and if a man did that, he'd just be an evil woman beater.

    Oh the coveted Anampses femininus.

    They're actually gotten somewhat cheap this year; a little over a year ago the market value on these (females, actually) was $1500. And it wasn't long before that they were around the 2k mark.

    While they're a dazzling display of color, they're still a very touchy species. However, at the price point they demand I'll conjecture most everyone knows what they're getting into at the time of purchase.

    Anyhow, if you think this lady looks nice, you should see what a male looks like...
