Wow.. $$$ and color!
 

Ok, I was at the LFS today.. and saw the coolest fish ive ever seen.. ever.

Im typically a predator guy, and find the amazing fish to be the deadly ones.. but this one quite simply blew me away in coloration, textures and price.. Ive never seen a fish under the size of a loonie for $500 before tax..

But the colors.. brillant yellows and blue with a glowing mouth.. just amazing.. First time ive ever thought of spending wayyyyy tooo much money on a fish.. but pound for pound, its the most expensive fish ive ever seen.

Thought I would share.

awesome for sure:):)

So cool, never seen that before. I can see why you were tempted.

Is it a puffer?

can anybody identify that fish? damsel im thinking

WHOA!!! What the heck is that? One stunning looking fish that's for sure, mind If I ask which LFS? Would love to see it in person.

I'm guessing it's a type of cardinal because of the eye but I seriously have no idea.

It's got pokers! Is it venomous?

pineapple fish -> Cleidopus gloriamaris

Yup, Pineapple Pinecorn Fish as per the label, and its at Picses in there little frag tanks in the main display room. There are 2 of them.

I saw this guy at pisces before and snapped some pictures too. Its even better looking in person, and I cant believe it can grow from the size of a loonie to 8"-9"

I dunno if its the lights they are using or what. But the colors just pop on that fish. Looks soo good. Not to mention how unique looking they are. It looks like a damsel in a suit of armour.

sooooo cool

definately a neat fish....alittle on the pricey side tho.
