There are tons of expensive fish. There was a Masked Angel caught off the shore of Hawaii about 6-12 months ago that was going for at least $15K.

There are others that are way above that because of their rarity and locality.

Expensive is probably greater than $1000 and there are a fair amount of those around these days.

Those are some ugly $32,00 fish. We should consult mr. spitzer on how many attractive ladies of the evening that money could purchase....hmmm...???

WOW!!! 33k for a pair of clowns!!! That is unbelievable, some people have ALOT of money.

I spend a ton of money on corals and those things cost more than both my tanks, all my equipment, fish, and corals combined! MUCH more:eek2:

Do you know where the people who bought them are from Bangkokmatt? Are they from Thailand?

well... I've seen uglier fish. For example, the bangaii that I fould after a year. He was behind tank. He was a bit dried out. Like jerky. That was uglier. But not by much.

But whatever moves you.

Personally, I don't think they as pretty as a regular Percula. But IF I'd spent $32K on those fish.....I'd be conditioning them to be breeders! I'd be PRAYING that the morph didn't leave them sterile!

thats seems ridiculous, no one under an income of a million dollars a year could or should even consider something like that, and honestly, I know someone took there time and hard work, but by no means does that allow for a price tag like that, that just ridiculous. If you have that much money, just buy a house on the beach in Maui or something and have your own peice of the reef to look at snorkling everyday, it would be much more rewarding. Get a life.
