Go get it! You are one of the few that will be able to give them a good home.

i know i know its just 500 or so out of the range I gave it in my head. I do however think its worth it with the guarentee, though you would never be able to claim it because it would most likely die in the sand if it did die.

I agree. And what if only one dies? How much do they price each individually???

Nizz · 09/17/2012, 05:29 PM

Man that's a lot for a pair of fish. $3000 jeeze

bullitr · 09/17/2012, 07:07 PM

Crazy my friend told me about it before they post it but it's hard to justify spending 3 grand on a tiny delicate fish

Wayne will u get another one?

Such beautiful fish. Someone on here should pull the trigger so we can live vicariously through your pictures

I'm tempted but I have not had good luck with these. I like dd 2 week guarantee but that's assuming I'd be able to find it if one or both died and like I mentioned before, what if only one dies? How much does DD price them individually?

reefjunkie42 · 09/17/2012, 09:01 PM

thats what Im saying, knowing DD it would be 1500 each. and thats too much for a female

Rabidgoose · 09/17/2012, 09:32 PM

Free shipping tho....

Zoasman · 09/18/2012, 01:42 AM

Someone is going to pull the trigger.....act quick!!!

auem · 09/18/2012, 01:51 AM

Market price on them lately has been ~1k for a female, 1.5k-2k for a male. The issue however is finding a male for sale. Not an easy task.

That's sooo last year.

DD has sold a handful this year for 1k ($999).

BeanMachine · 09/18/2012, 12:55 PM

I've had the opportunity to purchase a female in Socal for 700 but that would still be way out of my price range at this point in my life. Now a male, wow what a spectacular fish!

Yurivd · 09/18/2012, 12:59 PM

In south africa thy sold for about $340

reefjunkie42 · 09/18/2012, 01:39 PM

no hunter i know they sell for 1k for a female, I was saying that if 1 died they would give you back 1500...not 1k or 2k depending on fish. also I know QM has male fems in stock as well as females. but no alive arrival guarentee

evolved · 09/18/2012, 01:45 PM

Ah, yes, understand now. You're correct, they'd refund half (1.5k).

ingtar_shinowa · 09/18/2012, 10:01 PM

Get them for the upgrade hunter!

OrionN · 05/03/2018, 05:08 AM

So anybody know how this pair did? Who got them?
