Would you mind providing a link to the page, rather than just the image?? I'd like to see the price tag just for effect.

You could always buy a cheaper sailfin and spray paint it the right color

If I don't pay the mortgage, both car notes, insurance, electric bill (I can always use the generator), telephone and cell phone bills, no gas in the cars for a month (we can take the bus), that might make it possible to purchase this fish. If only I hadn't maxed out my credit card purchasing that Seaclone skimmer!!!

Everything is relative. 3000.00 to some people is the same as $30.00 to others.

Well, it arrived today and died during the acclimation process. I guess I'll just have to buy the one at marinecenter.

Why in the world would I be joking about killing a 3,000 dollar fish during the acclimation process? At least this wasn't like that time when I killed that $10,000 Koi by acclimating him to saltwater. So really, I've saved 7,000 bucks.

Well, 4,000 if you count the one I am buying from marinecenter.
