What a gorgeous fish, I only wish I had the tank space...oh and did I forget to mention the cash too!

Wow look at all of them. Did they leave any to reproduce?

They've had these fish around for awhile now mostly in asia and have recently opened a permit to catch 50 only I guess the guy that caught them got paid lol!!

I would love to own one of these fish but I need a 400+g tank also to achieve that I would need to sell my ride psssh I'll take the turbo for now.....

The clarion,conspicious,iron butterfly are some of the top ranked fish to own maybe when I hit the lotery I will invest in these fish just the 3 that I listed will cost over 12g's oh and the butterfly needs cooler water so either an a/c room or a big chiller.

A guy had one in Van well actually 2 and both died because of heat issues how would any of you feel losing 3g's in 1 hour ouch.

This fish use to be as cheap as queen angels a long time ago

Gorgeous fish! Hope you do well with the one you decide to keep, I was pretty tempted myself when these came by.

Can we see pictures of the one you have? Just to...ahh...confirm its existence in your possession...?

I saw it on the weekend...what a beautiful fish. No way I trust myself that much though and I don't have the space or money. Guess I'm pretty lucky to be able to say that I've seen one.

As someone mentioned these fish use to be more abundant, They were still expensive, but not to the same degree... I brought in a couple of them years ago... I think a more acurate statement would be that your specimin is one of 2 "recently" imported into Canada. They have been in Canada for years... not a common species, but they are around....
pretty fish!
