Default 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.

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.

Hello!

I may be interested. I have a 500 gallon FOWLR system with mostly angels and tangs. I've had my system for over 5 years now and the last fish I added was about a year and a half ago. I do have a couple of pretty good sized angels in there now - French & Blue Ring both at around 9" - 10" so I'm a little concerned that they may not appreciate getting a room mate that's bigger than them. Anyway, I would like to know how you would be shipping the fish and if the $600 you're asking already includes the shipping cost.

Thanks

Yeah thats why I asked...Atlanta has more than one fish store 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!
