It's a good thing I don't live in the U.S. because I'd probably bankrupt myself in 2 months with purchase after purchase from LA..
That said I think $800 per fish is a little ... well, my station in life would have to change a LOT for that ever to be in the realm of the possible .. To me it's a sort of .. I dunno what I'm trying to say. If a fish is so rare that it commands $1600 (or $800 even, really, what's the difference at that point), is it rare because there's that few of them? In which case .. isn't it better that they be left where they are so to let the species replenish itself? Or is it expensive just because "that's what someone will pay for it" in which case I totally resent the manipulation. Ok this is getting kinda deep.
I sure do love THIS fish. It has been in the den for a while. What a beautiful trigger:

Yep, a good thing I'm not allowed to buy from LA!
YOU on the other hand though .. haha you're so screwed.
