Default Wow.. $$$ and color!

Ok, I was at the LFS today.. and saw the coolest fish ive ever seen.. ever.

Im typically a predator guy, and find the amazing fish to be the deadly ones.. but this one quite simply blew me away in coloration, textures and price.. Ive never seen a fish under the size of a loonie for $500 before tax..



But the colors.. brillant yellows and blue with a glowing mouth.. just amazing.. First time ive ever thought of spending wayyyyy tooo much money on a fish.. but pound for pound, its the most expensive fish ive ever seen.

Thought I would share.

So cool, never seen that before. I can see why you were tempted.

Is it a puffer?

WHOA!!! What the heck is that? One stunning looking fish that's for sure, mind If I ask which LFS? Would love to see it in person.

I'm guessing it's a type of cardinal because of the eye but I seriously have no idea.
