[Jenn]

Christine, please be sure to post pics when they get settled in. You got my curiosity going.

[cpreefguy]

lol, yeah I knew that they were for you guys. Who else in their right minds would order them :lol:

[C.Mydas]

Jenn- sure thing!
cpreefguy- you're just jealous. :D

[Ram_Puppy]

one of my favorite fish, a pair must have set you back a pretty penny (or, actually, a couple thousand pretty pennies.)

[Reef69]

yeah Christina, im up for the Onyx's...

[MikeDeL]

Did I beat Pete? Found this on reefs.org I will go back and copy the link to the entire thread, but figured I would just post the pic since this thread has TONS of pic and takes awhile to load.

and we have a winner....MikeDel :D

:w00t What do I win!?!?!

Wow guys, thats a beautiful fish. Looks just like my common-looking firefish, but in a hippie-version. Its crazy how they are such cute, shy fish, but they developed this "mad" look around the eyes in the coloration.

How much are they? :unsure

Wendy

[Brett Wilson]

I've seen them for $125 locally.... been a couple of years though.

[Sherri]

LOL - Each or pair? :blink They are beautiful.

[C.Mydas]

Each. I've seen them for up to 250 a piece. I would never pay that much though (at least for 1). ;) :blush :D

[CD]

Each. I've seen them for up to 250 a piece


Good grief!! :sick
Why so much? Are they that rare? They *are* pretty, but I think some of the more common firefish are just as pretty, and not *nearly* as much money! :wacko

Wendy

[alexwolf]

i think ill stick to my $15 purple firefish :o

[Ram_Puppy]

My understanding is Helfrichis occur at lower depths on the reef, they are more expensive because they are harder to find and collect.

[C.Mydas]

i think ill stick to my $15 purple firefish

THAT"S MY $30 PURPLE FIREFISH....THIEF! :blink

Oh good job Alex. Now I've got to listen to Brian mumbling "its MY purple firefish...15 dollars...who does he think he is....HIS purple fire fish....15 dollars...and on and on and on........." for the rest of the night.

:roll :lol :lol :lol

Hope your feeling better!!! Are you and Am getting more sleep nowadays?

[alexwolf]

LOL :D :skeezy :innocent

no, shes really sick and my stress level is through the roof, i had to go see a Dr. about my bnlood pressure :w00t

[alexwolf]

by the way Brian, good for you! Get your firefish and ignore what everyone else thinks. Its your tank, and you are the one looking at it.

[C.Mydas]

:D

[Sherri]

Took the words right out of my mouth! :lol

[GaryP]

I saw purples at Fintique yesterday for $16.50. One didn't look real good though.

[CD]

they are rare, and to each there own, I've always wanted one, I have the money and I want the fish, so.......why not ?


Oh, hey...I have no problem with it, I just wouldn't do it myself. More power to ya, dude! :P So uh, what's next...an Acan Lord? :roll

Wendy

Wendy...if you put any ideas into his head.. :cry .I've already heard about, and seen pictures of the acan lord and the next step is usually him saying, "I have a shipment coming in tomorrow, are you going to be home?" :angry :lol :lol :cry :cry :cry :cry :cry :cry :cry

[alexwolf]

for the record, i had NOTHING to do with that. When you guys were over and we were looking at all those pics, it was all his idea. ;)

[C.Mydas]

Suuuurrreee. I know how this works. Am says "no" so Brian buys it and you get a frag of it. I say "no" and you buy it and Brian gets a frag of it. JK!!! Im as bad as he is. :lol
