How much for a yellow tang!?!?!?

[Alexreefer]

Was browsing on live aquaria and decided to look at some tangs, Came across a yellow tang for well... See for yourself

It was bound to happen. The funny part is that people will buy them.

I was at my lfs yesterday and a week ago they must have purchased 200 of the last of the Hawaiian yellow tangs and yesterday when I went in they probably had sold 25% of them. They are asking between $150 to $350 depending on the size. I took a couple pics of 2 of there tanks.

That's cheap. 2 weeks ago they had one for $549. Maybe you should buy it?

Ya I thought the same thing, my 5 year old $20 yellow tang is now my most expensive fish too. Would have been nice if somehow you knew what was gonna happen a few months ago and purchased 100's of them, coulda made a quick buck selling them online or back to the lfs.

At one of our stores, the yellow tang was less than a gem tang ‍

 

[Rmckoy]

Wow ...

Just think they were $19.99 about 10 years ago .
I paid $90 for mine 6 months ago .

 

[Uncle99]

Captive bred are available at $279.00
Just give the breeders a bit of time and they will be half that.
