WOW! $$

I hope that happy customer bought them to breed them. Would be a shame for a rare fish like that just to go into the hobby as purely a pet. Always nice to see the rare things being tank bred and not wild caught.

A great fish! I'd buy the pair in a flash if I had the cash.

I totally agree...I changed my viewpoint on wild caught fish as I searched high and low without success finding a mate for mine.I found TWO in the entire US and I had a website devoted to them!. That's how rare they were.
So OH if a fish is rare, a person will breed them and save them in captivity is false because if they are rare, finding a mate for one becomes a real problem.
