toooooo funnny, I thought a black tang was expensive

 

[dubs]

wow that is one expensive pair of fish

 

[tynman]

What do those fish do for that kind of money!!!! LOL better do a lot more then swim.....

The reason they're that expensive is that they come from very deep water, around 100-250 feet, and are very rare. They usually are listed for $899.99 each and up until recently were almost impossible to find.

They're the real deal, unlike a number of others, which may carry the name and are very similar in shape, color and appearance but carry a much lower price tag, usually in the $30-$70 range. A real Candy Basslet comes from deep water and will carry a high price tag, unlike the others which are from shallower waters.

Im not saying they are worth the $$$$ but if you see a carmabi in person it is in a different league completely from the swales and swissguard basslets. An absolutely stunning fish. I love the other basslets as well BTW. Be aware that the swales is very shy and you will rarely see it if there are other fish in the tank.

I was always under the impression that the carmabi was the "swissguard" named after the guards in the Vatican, since they wear the same colors? Am I crazy?

For that price that'll be the only fish in the reef tank!
