Nine Peppermint Angel I wish ....

[piranhapat]

The price a one Peppermint Angel fish is anywhere $10,000 - $20,000. Having 9 almost $200,000 or more. At depts of 400 feet is where you will find these angels. I got to learn how to dive and hold my breath at that dept and start collecting these fish. It is very dangerous so anybody wants to go with me... First we got to go to Japan...:batangel:

+1. Can't be any fun for a novice diver at 400'.

It would cost $20,000 to gain the experience where you would have a reasonable chance of surviving a dive to 400'.

It sure will be a royal pain, or let's say my fave phrase

What f a big pain in the *** and wallet

I scubaed 78 f dept in Seychelles. Was very costly n uncomfy. Yet the coach said 70ish feet was DA normal dept

I scubaed few other times but only like 30 or 40ish f. Good enuf 4 me already

There's a very feasible solution that we can corent a submarine. By selling fish worth tens of grands of bucks, the profits huge enuf to do that, lol

 

[Rob&Gab]

you can sell em easy 20k+ theres offers for around 30k already for the guy in hawaii they are also not yet fully known and still being researched.

Sure you can! The people are lining up! :lol2: :lol2:

The guy in Danbury that rec'd his peppermint angel a few days ago... Just posted that it died !

 

[Mattl22]

Really that's awful !!! What he say happened?

 

[duke62]

Why do you have to scuba for them? Why not set large nets or a large fish trap at 400 feet?

 

[SteveZ15]

how does the fish survive the decompression? They are nice but that kind of money is crazy.I thought the lightning maroon was expensive.

They arent exactly common you'd likely catch everything else but a peppermint. And you cant jam a trawling net into the rocks where the live.

I guess if u can spend 20 k on a fish it's probably ruined the guys afternoon but not his week!

That was my first thought...if a fish lives at 400 feet how's it supposed to do well in 2 to even say 10 feet of water.

 

[gvanwhy]

im thinking about selling my house and putting my family on the street for 40 of them. is that a good idea?

That is part of the reason why they cost so much--- to properly decompress them takes a lot of time and effort. There are only a handful of people who have the diving skills and equipment to go that deep. Even fewer have the skills to find and catch the fish. Fewer still to handle them properly.

They used to physically purge the swim bladder with a needle as they ascended but that's obviously not an ideal way of decompressing a 20k+ investment. Now they put them in containers and raise them a few feet each day. It's a long tedious effort but the results are far better when you don't pierce them repeatedly.
