[hirev508]

how much you think this fish cost I found this one place sale it for $280 you think it a good price for it? base on the fish picture please let me know thank you

The price a hobbyist is willing to pay is usually determined by factors only he/she knows. Here's a few:

• How much do you want it?
• Can you find it elsewhere cheaper?
• How long have you been wanting it?
• How much expendable cash do you have right now?

can you disclose if you dont mind..i wanted one for a long time...

 

[D1J8Z]

where did you find him?


I think 280 is a little high usually run about 400+ for a pair

house of fins in greenwich, ct had a mated pair for $1200

 

[D1J8Z]

they dont count lol

 

[moonlightxpress825]

had or have??

 

[D1J8Z]

you would buy a 1200 pair of clowns?

 

[moonlightxpress825]

no way..but i would make the trek up there just to look at it..lol...i rather get two black tangs for that amount

Someone on reefsanctuary is selling the babies...I got a Picasso from her...there is a waiting list and I believe the snowflakes are $200/each.

 

[D1J8Z]

yea but even tho snowflakes mate DOESNT mean the babys will be snowflakes
at least thats what I have read from ORA hence they are very hard to come by

 

[JonnyIce]

Correct...this lady got maybe 3 snowflakes from one of her hatches of two Picassos...and then like let's say 10 grade A picassos.

 

[moonlightxpress825]

thanks for the info..

 

[D1J8Z]

yea I read her whole thread a while ago eventually they wont be crazy priced but as we all know we have to have whats rare now

look at black tangs they were like one in a million not too long ago now all you have to do is wait a week and you can have one for a price of coarse .....soon too that will change

Sohal tangs also used to be one of the most exspensive fish in the hobby and now like many other fish you can get anyday anytime and much cheaper

 

[moonlightxpress825]

i agree..hopefully one day the gem tang can be had for a more reasonable price

 

[boozeman]

DFS Liveaquaria had a pair listed for $500...they sold that same day :tub:

 

[JonnyIce]

yea $200 from her... I received two fish from her as I stated and couldn't be happier:
$200 for one "Snowcasso" pattern - extreme white markings to an extent that the majority of coloration is white

 

[hirev508]

well thank guys for helping I just pick up the clown today, about that $200 snowcasso I been in waiting list for about 4 month+ and still didn't come to my turn also the shipping is kinda crazy. I pretties happy with the fish I pick up today because I can actually see how it look before buying it, I just order another one and 2 picasso clown they said it will come in couple week.
