 You can also find them for 2k in Canada, but all in importing one yourself would be less as well.
I've got no problem with some fish being worth $3500.  I've seen some angels in that price range.  Out of my budget but some fish are expensive for a variety of reasons.  My issue with this is its way way way above retail cost.  Even before the recent gem tang price drop the rare times I saw them in Lfs they were $2200-2500.   Granted if you can afford 2500 you can afford 3500 when it comes to expensive fish but this just seems like gouging.
