What part am I not getting here? Reidis are fairly common, even yellow ones, aren't they?

Cripes, we have 12 of them at work that pump out babies every 2 weeks or so. If only we could sell the offspring....

I always look through there to find the expensive stuff for fun

I saw a Japanese Moray in there for some Huge amount once.

Pre SH being listed as CITES Appendix II they where very common.
Post CITES II not so much

Yeah they sometimes have some unusually priced items there.. $170 for a pair of tomato clowns.. but I guess because they're a retired breeding pair it's worth the cost to buy two $10 fish for 8.5 times their cost.

A foxface lo with a black dot on it... $70, hell that's a black SPLOTCH foxface lo not a black dot, it's more rare! Or maybe it's a wisconsin thing

In their defense, I don't think they claim the foxface is more rare. It's just a variation on the common name.

Their prices are usually a bit on the high side, but that's because they aren't dropshipping the "Diver's Den" fishes. You can usually find a cheaper priced options from their "regular" sections that are drop-shipped (or find other DS livestock vendors). I personally will only buy from their Wisconsin facility because the fish that come out of there are incredibly healthy.
