So one of my suppliers just said he has 4 gem tangs coming..

I looked at the price and almost fell out of my chair.

how much?

Marinecenter.com sells them for $3,499

If I were to get them it would be an even 3,000 but they would have to make the flight from where they are to me and ontop of that be in my tanks for a good 2 weeks eating before I sell them. If they didn't make a flight or it was too cold or something think about the loss. I'd be too scared unless my supplier promised I'd get 100% refund if it didn't make it when it got to me.

forgot about shipping too if the person who wanted one didn't live in town and wanted it shipped.

Does it get prettier? I don't see the draw except for the bragging/jones' factor.

 

[petsparadise]

yeah thats all it is, just like an exotic car its just bragging rights.

Now my exotic car of the fish world, or reasonable exotic car is a black tang that would be as high as I would go.

I would like to have a gem tang someday. I'd have to have a killer year at work, though, before my wife would allow such a transaction. :? :lol:

Beautiful specimen, Pavaphon! Yes, they're quite expensive here. They retail for $1500 in SoCal, which is probably the cheapest you'll ever see it.
