Out with it! $500, $700? I know it was a lot, we all do. Come on, we won't tell your spouse/significant other or heirs....

Very nice looks like mine. Guessing around 7 inches in length.
Mine is a hellraiser.

Read that they don't all change to mature colors in the home aq.

True or false? 30% of the time?

Do they really go for that or are you kidding?

I never seen one more than 125.00

I am not a fish person either so I really don't know

creepereefer · #18 04/01/2006, 01:27 AM

I have had then change colors from juvi to adult.
he cost me over 200 put it that way xmas island emperor has the orange tail the common emperor has the yellow tail I will post both

creepereefer · #19 04/01/2006, 01:28 AM

can you see the two colors difference

Lord Voldemort · #20 04/01/2006, 01:49 AM

Nice fish

Now back to the real topic. I have no idea what those spots are but have you tried wiping it off?

danorth · #21 04/01/2006, 01:52 AM

I can and it is a beauty!

I was guessing super high. There are some about 5-6" for $100 in my area, but if that was a special catch/order then economics tells me that the supply is far less than the demand!!!

creepereefer · #22 04/01/2006, 02:07 AM

it dried up calcium on the tank not on the fish lol
