Typo or actual insanity?

[MoparMike97]

So, like many of you I'm sure, I love to browse online retailers and just see what cool livestock is available. Most of the time, I can understand the pricing of rare, unusual fish but tonight I stumbled across this...

Uhhhhh..... what? This has to be a typo, right?

If not, it may be one of the most ridiculous things I've ever seen in all my years in the hobby. $4k for a grey fish with a few brown dots that will likely spend 90% of its time in a hole at the back of your aquascape... What is going on here?!

At that price it better come with the rock

Better come with a rock

They just wanted to keep the fish lol

 

[Reefkeepers Archive]

Apparently this is what they look like either full grown or male coloration?

They must be extremely rare, after a quick Google search the only things I can find for sale of this species are pictures

 

[kevgib67]

I just ordered 3!

 

[1112-425XL]

I hope it's buy two get one half price...

 

[VintageReefer]

I wouldn’t pay a cent over $3,500 for it

Common man! That's a beautiful fish.

This is a drab female. Apparently they are common fish. I wouldn’t pay more than 30$.

Yes it is. I would love to see one...
In your tank!

I paid $30 for a drab female once and needed a shot of penicillin.

You don't understand special fish. This particular fish has a little lighter brown spot behind his eye. Come on

 

[Anemone_Fanatic]

Oof. Wouldn't pay a cent over $3,800.99.

Do they have interest-free loans?

I'm guessing they haven't had any interest at all

 

[Midrats]

That thing would go down my overflow day one.

It would look like mysis shrimp to my Blue Throat trigger

 

[exnisstech]

You can't get it if you don't ask

 

[VintageReefer]
