Tim, love the queen, I had a juvi but had to downgrade and get rid of her along with my emperor and gray angels. Now that I have the room, I wanted to get another queen and emperor. Every adult queen I see always turns solid yellow and looks boring, except the ones in the wild. How big is yours? I'd rather get a queen, but just don't want a solid yellow angel, was considering a blue or townsend instead.

dandy7200 nice pair of jocs you have there

$220 for a Red Sea purple tang back in 1993 when they were the most expensive fish available.

Two years ago I got my Gymnothorax Miliaris for a steal at $180, they mistook him for a meletremus. Haven't seen one on the web for less then $400.

Thanks everyone who has posted to my post. You guys are showing my some very beautiful fish. I really want to see more pictures of the fish and I want to know the price you paid. I live in St. Louis Mo. and it's interresting to see the differance in prices from state to state.

Does anyone have pic's of a banded angel or a blue stripe angel? These are the two fish I'm looking at buying for my center peice. While doing my resource on these two, I can almost say it's not going to be the banded angel. It will cost me about $500 and from what I'v read here, they are hard to get to eat and die.

The blue stripeed angel, I have been trying to get some information here on reef central but there's not much information.

My $24 tailspot blenny

Do you mean bandit angel?

zemuron114 · #**113** 12/19/2007, 02:25 AM

that "pair" of lineatus doesn't look to be a pair. It actually looks like 2 males... can you get a better pic? If it is 2 males one will kill the other since they both look of equal size... Males are aggressive towards each other if held together for a long period of time (1+ month)

banded/bandit angel mean the same

500$ if you buy direct from Hawaii, more if you buy it retail (size matters on these guys - smaller do better but have a higher price tag)

jraducha · #**114** 12/19/2007, 02:35 AM

I just bought my most expensive pair...ORA Picasso clowns.. $215

Blueline Angels can be just as difficult if not moreso because they mainly come out of Vietnam which generally means poor collection practices. $500 is actually pretty cheap for a Bandit so I am guessing it is a large speciman. If you can find a smaller one in the 3" range you will have better luck but be prepared to pay more.

jimdogg187 · #**118** 12/19/2007, 04:03 PM

$90 for a 4.5" sohal

jb1972 · #**119** 12/19/2007, 06:22 PM

100 for a powder blue about 7" but he didn't make it through qt
lucky for the cheaper fish lol

DamnPepShrimp · #**120** 12/19/2007, 09:03 PM

jimdogg187, did you get rid of your blueface for an emperor? I saw you talking about that, didn't think you were actually going to go through with it, that BF was gorgeous!!!

Yeah. IMO, it was time for the fish to have a larger home, so I sold it to a local with a 240. I'm sure he will take good care of it :-)

I added the Sohal and Imp around Thanksgiving.

DeltecRules · #**122** 12/20/2007, 12:33 AM

Besides all of my high end fairy wrasses, I just added a mitratus butterfly with shipping set me back $343 clams from divers den. But it was well worth it

bonddog · #**123** 12/20/2007, 12:45 AM

reefsluge · #**124** 12/31/2007, 09:20 PM

DeltecRules · #**125** 12/31/2007, 09:31 PM
