    He's a gorgeous angel, but I think anybody who buys it would have been better off to buy a small one and let it grow. It might take some time, but I wouldn't pay 599$ for a fish. It's a beautiful fish though. They had a Clarion angel on ebay for 999$ if I'm not mistaken.

    Thats my whole point in keeping fish is to watch them grow and get personality traits. If you always by big ones they're pretty much set in there ways.

    $999 is a steal for Clarion, they wholesale for $1.5k with a waiting list!

    Conspics are cool, but not as rare as a Clarion. Very few Clarions make it into the pipeline. BTW, thats an enormous amount to pay for a Emperator, regardless of size.
