I just wanted to comment on some of the "$200 is too expensive" posts. It
is a lot of money but if you qualify it by considering it is only 4-5 corals that you'll probably kill anyway
, or maybe some fish, it's easier to stomach.
If my dream fish as only $200 I would buy it. I spent a lot of money on an animal for my tank once. I had a lot of trouble justifying it but then I decided to just sell some of my other livestock. It felt like I wasn't using "real money" to buy it but in truth, it was all real.
Has anyone noticed some Americans spend a
lot of money on some of their fihes and corals? Sorry but I'm not spending $100 for a single zoathid polyp; I don't care if it will grow to 5 in a year. I don't think there would be many dopes out there like me who would pay for my surplus. We don't seem to do that here.
