Japanese Angel. Exact piece.

Going for $24000-$25000. Serious buyers pm me.

Haha u muz be kidding, nobody here can afford! On the top of that the fish is not in the best health condition to sell either. It looks emaciated. Furthermore for such a RARE angel (ok i think the word rare is an understatement to this fish, this fish is practically unobtainable like ballinae angel!), the owner should be keeping it to his own and giving the best possible care to the fish and makes everyone envy of him and his fish. Is this fish in HK now?

P.S. The tiny conspic is so cute!!

The video was taken in January. After 1 month it has probably been fattened up. I'm just doing my friend a favour in looking for a buyer for the fish. If anyone happens to show interest I will request for an updated video of the fish. Think of it as 10 gem tangs..I think I've seen that many in the past year already.

[orsony]

LCK this Saturday will have Hawaii shipment. Heard will have Bandit again.

It ought to be. It'll be good if the fish can be housed in a bigger tank, it looks really active almost like a tang.

[Regal]

Any Update at Pasir Ris Farm ?? Iwarna , Ah Beng ....

[teebs]

Iwarna Walt Smith shipment tomorrow only has SPS. No zoas shipped in this time.

[m12345y]

The worker just check the list price on the file.

Anyway, talking about fish in general; not rics.

I think have to wait for Auntie to be there to decide the final prices of fishes.

that's so called list price, usually there will be 10-25% discount

I do agree with the writer that this kind of flaunting of illegally sourced marine livestock is the type that casts a bad shadow on our hobby and industry which should not be promoted. Think responsible reefing.

Is it exactly illegal? Dun think anyone can prove anything.. can still say that its a stray..

[jc85]

Of course nobody can prove it unless caught red handed. However, imo, this should not be promoted.

Well people get new fish, people shoot and post.. if something cannot be proven illegal, its just like any other reefer who have a new addition and posting it online..

If they are afraid that illegal poachers might try their luck, then officials should step up security.. They have been very successful in doing that, don't they? They probably can do even better.

[jc85]

Posting it online is one thing. Poaching is another. Trying to sell it yet is another. Can we expect the authorities to have guard any inch of the ocean? Anyway, getting out of topic.
