I don't know how anybody ever would want to spend that much on a fish, coral or anything.

God dang
I don't know, but I see people upgrading their perfectly good cars every year or two, and that's several thousand dollars out of pocket. Might as well have a sparkly fish instead :)

Yea lol.
I stick to old stuff. I drive a classic
Or will once it's done. Bought it for the same price but I really can't understand a fosh tho. At least with a car it won't die on you and you can never use it again. Fish it dies and ope. There goes 4k bucks.

Gotta be insanely rich for that.
My whole tank setup.including absolutely everything is only 5k
Whole dang fish is worth my setup
 

i cant think

Ive seen one and if im honest, i see nothing in them…
I’d much rather a Prognanthodes species for the colours and personality.

Nice looking fish but definitely out of my price range.

Had one years ago but for less than half that cost. Amazing fish especially in person.

The wrought iron butterfly is a common fish and shoals upon shoals of them in the wild but they’re native to Japan Japanese fish collectors don’t work for cheap or anywhere near cheap.
