Rare fish sighted

[yongsum]

just thought i'd share my findings yesterday. went to the usual spots in SF yesterday (Lucky O, Aquatic Central, 6th ave - ooops :) saw all the regular crazy stuff at 6th including a nice chalice for $40!!! saw 2 small hawaiian dragon moray's, a pair of mento triggers (crosshatch), some very nice wrasses, and lots of asfur and mac angels being blown out at $89, along with purple tangs for $85 (seems more like average than sale price for the tangs though) at AC.

[fishsoldseprtly]

how much were the hawaiian dragons?

[yongsum]

i think they were $850. very small though, about 1'

[KuanTi]

Nope, 6th ave does bag specials, which are basicly directly taken from wholesale and put into tanks for people to grab. I wouldnt touch their live stock in their tanks its diseased. But the bags I think are safer b/c its the wholesale water.

Haha... they should hire you to maintain their price list :)

[happyface888]

No way lool, they have bad customer service and give bad advice and dont give a crap about your fish. They are terrible. But I always see a long line of people lining up to get in. Its like when the Iphone just came out.

[KuanTi]

the fish from their "wholesaler" is just as crappy, if not more.

[ianiwane]

it comes from aquatraders doesn't it?

I would say yes, aqua traders sell odyssea stuff so does 6th ave. Well that doesnt mean anything but I am guessing its them aswell...

[delsol650]

Yes. I've been to aquatraders.. and its worse...
