Check out what DD has!!

I love this hobby, but not that much [emoji23]. I guess there's a market for everyone.

Of course, there are definitely people out there that wouldn't sneeze at paying that kind of money for it. I'm just thinking that since this one is captive bred that in a few years time the same fish will be in the $100-$200 range. I remember reading about the PNG lightning maroon clownfish F1's selling for $5000. Now you can buy them all day long on DD for $60ish. Granted clowns are more willing to breed in captivity than angels.

And no offense to the future buyer of this, but it looks like any other fish. Don't get me wrong, it's beautiful.. But there's colorful and similar looking fish out there for under 500 bucks. I think the rarity is what makes it intriguing to some people. You're right though, I'm sure the price will only drop in years to come

Clarion Angels are listed as vulnerable , and they are well protected. Some have gone to jail trying to bring them into the US.

Plus they have been bred for 4-5yrs now and just last year they jumped waaaay up in price. A yr ago they were half this retail and I can’t even say wholesale cost.

A man must know his limit!

Or face divorce as stated earlier. Other consequences may be bankruptcy, loss of utilities, foreclosure, and many other bad things. I did notice it was still for sale as of yesterday evening. It hasn't reduced price yet but I'll let everyone know when i see it has. Or it's been sold.

 

[JasonK84]

Still available and there is a 25% off flash sale today only. This fish is only $5,600 today only. Still way out of reach for me!

 

[JasonK84]

Update:

Still available at the low price of $7,499!

It did the same thing to me few weeks ago. Thought it sold then pops up when the next member looks lol.

 

[JasonK84]

Here's one I don't see much.

 

[Jesterrace]

Paying bills doesn't get anyone excited. YOLO

Yeah, but that $7500 fish isn't going to do you much good when the power gets cut off to your house.

 

[JumboShrimp]

I’m buying two— a right-handed one and a left-handed one! (Lol!)

Good point! Do you think the neighbor would see the extension cord running from their house? LOL
