Where are those prices from? I've never seen a crosshatch offered at less than $500 retail. I want to shop where-ever you're shopping from !!

Yeah, these prices that you're quoting don't sound right. Liveaquariua.com, an American-based online vendor, lists Crosshatch triggers at $549/699 for female/male respectively. Smaller Black Tangs command a VERY high market price ($600-800).

It's just that the prices you're listing are WELL below market value. If I offered to sell you an Audi R8 for 20K, you might get suspicious

This is RDR trying to promote business and probably wholesale prices of fish on the beach of origin.

Same as an acro colony is $4 US on the beach. By the time it gets here, all costs in, plus losses, the cost jumps 10 fold.

^^^^^^
True that


As for the 40 - 60 fish a box. Ive seen some larger fish such as triggers come in a box all by themselves. That sure would boost the price of the fish considerably by time it got here.

PS. RDNano if your just going to bash someone elses prices on LS maybe your better off not posting at all.
