Cost Candy Basslet

[MadCityReefer]

Had a chance to purchase a Candy Basslet from a LFS for $400 at the time I didn't have the money, three weeks later I bought a $600 chalice. I kick myself for not buying that Candy Basslet because now the LFS says he can't sell one for less than $600

It would have been a steal at $400. I just wish they were a little bigger for the money. The fish is tiny but pretty.

Well, it's a little more complicated then that. Someone gave me the opportunity to buy direct from a well known wholesaler. They were all eating, which is the one of the main issues with them. It wasn't from live aquaria.

I paid full price for one, amazing colors. I think I'll eventually get another for my other tank.

I knew I shouldn't have came back to this thread. I purposely did not subscribe to it.

Now look!!!

I'm officially on the hunt for one. Several years ago, I told myself if I ever upgrade my main display this is the one fish I'm going to get. 1.5 years later I still don't have one. But I'll have one by Dec 2015, cause if I don't I know what I'm getting for Christmas.

You should know they sometimes like to stick to the shadows; odds are much better you'll see him if it's in a calm peaceful tank.

I was very close to pulling the trigger on the candy, but noticed that the ideal temp was a fair amount lower than what i run my tank at and didn't want to risk it.

I got the swissguard (http://www.liveaquaria.com/diversde...ref=4282&subref=AI&cmpid=E-_-TR-_-DDN-_-PRDCT) instead. Close enough

How about a couple pictures to help you out.

Here is the box it came in from divers den, 10 layers of bags(the smaller bags are 2 gobies and a pistol shrimp).

$649??
It has to be made of gold
My $14 dollar royal gramma looks just as beautiful as that fish

Seems like one the few that agree with me. Lol. The fish only grow to like two inches.

No, that's from my tank.

You said it came in from divers den? Unless I am mistaken.

They say they have florescent markings.
