Sold to a better home than expected. 3000 Gallon tank - Emporer from Tonga w streamer
As showy as SHOW can be.
As sad as I am too admit I have a small...tank. (210g) I thought I could give this beauty a great home when I brought it in from Atlanta but it is just not fair to this magnificant fish. I have yet too see one like this in any aquarium in the lowermainland and that goes for the stores as well any speciman that even comes close to this guy. At 11 - 12" and lined with 19 to 21 stripes this fish is a show stopper. I will only let it go to a good facility. He is feeding and I have had him for 1.5 months No desiese and fully acclimated. $600 which is what I paid in USD. (and this does not include the shipping) I will entertain some type of trade toward a 6" Solaris light.

Mike gorgeous fish too bad you want to sell took so much time to acclimate and as you said it's quite rare, from the pic's the fish looks great!
Free bump for a nice guy.

 I used to live in Florida and be in Atlanta all the time for work and know the city pretty well. I also visited one really, really good LFS there to kill time. Just wondering where he found this guy...beautiful fish and thats a good price IMO as I used to see them in Miami for over $700.This is a good deal!

Tom Hill @ Just Rare fish
You can import for personal use NO TAX either. For some reason live fish are exempt. Just a really hard fish to find and most LFS won't bring them in unless you special order and when you do that you don't see what you get. I really don't wan't sell because he is so cool but it is just not fair for him in my 210 should go to 350g at a min. 900 would be awsome for this guy.

Note their (Marine Center) version of a Show size 7+" This guy is 11 - 12" and has the streamer, even more rare. The cool thing is he is bright yellow dominant under CF and Deep Blue under MH.
