Price can be reflective oflosing a few due to swim bladder issues which is very common. Do you want to pay $200 and risk a swim bladder issue? Or a higher price and be guarenteed there healthy?

Very true! I've learned the hard way that its always better to spend a bit more to get quality rather then just paying the cheapest amount possible. However i do find that $300 is just too much to pay per fish. At the same time I've both read and heard that swim bladder issues could take some months to develop even though they seem perfectly fine for the first little while. With this particular fish I'm not really sure the higher price means it's guaranteed to be perfectly healthy but I guess thats the risk that comes with getting a deep water fish species...
