The adult does look better, it will probably be die by the end of the month.
Just another case of because something is "rare" it should cost a lot of money, or is worth a lot. Most of the time things that are rare are ugly, and you can get something much prettier for a lot less, in this case a real lot less.

The adult male is really spectacular.

I love the basslet as well. While the money is obviously crazy, is it any more crazy than paying $1,000 for an eye of a coral? At least these fish are costly because they are in fact from deep water and are very expensive and difficult to collect.

Definitely a cool fish but if I had 12-15k burning a hole in my pocket I could come up with far more creative ideas for it, and I'm a huge fish nerd. Adults are cool but still not enough for me.

WELL...since you asked... :scratchch when the fish doubles in size, can you frag it, and 'recoup' your investment? ... What secrets are Pratt U. hiding from us?

Lol
The peppermint angel is much nicer looking and I could justify that over the black and white fish any day. And the female doesn't really get any more color than that. The male looks ok though. There is a guy on another site with a pair he paid 18,000 for and so far so good.

Just goes to show that the idea of " recouping my investment" on a coral never crosses my mind

do believe this is the first one to hit the states, the few that have been collected went to japan usually, remember years back reading thread on RC where guy over there got a pair for 25k i think it was, if you got money to spend like that at the drop of a dime your not concerned about cost, specially seeing there are people making that amount in a day or less, { not me } and it was hard for me to spend $200 on a fish let alone 12k
Genecanthus Personatus. (F)
Currently residing at House of Fins in Greenwich, CT. And already sold.
Lol HOF probably paid about 2-3 grand for it and are selling it for 6 grand what a joke. It will probably die once it is taken out of the copper enriched water. Same thing happened to the 8000 neptune grouper that they killed and told everyone they donated it. Poor fish should stay in the ocean where they belong.

Don't get me wrong, I can totally appreciate the fish and if it was in a tank in front me it would be awesome, but it just isn't freaky enough for me. Now if this one was an aberrant, than maybe we'd be in the same ballpark (but odds are it would go for at least double that lol).
