Pretty and rare but I would rather have an African Flameback.

I would never buy any fish that expensive. Not only would I be so nervous about an issue with it, but I think there are a lot cheaper and prettier fish.

Rare fish are expensive and not for most of us.If you think $2500 is expensive look at this angel.Paracentropyge boylei so far the only known living specimen in private aquarium.This fish is going for more than $20,000 if you are lucky to get one.

in this case, rarity far outweighs beauty when you consider pricing. People with deep pockets in the hobby would pay just to say they have one.

I gotta say that's a beautiful fish but I almost had a heart attack when you said the price.lol

I wouldn't pay $2500 for that fish. Unless you guys came to visit, nobody would ever think he's any better than a flame angel, so why spend the extra dough, even it it is rare. Besides, this fish is supposed to have water temps between 64-74, so you would have to start a new tank just for this guy....making this fish a lot more expensive than $2500!!

They have one at Old Town Aquarium. I think they were asking $1699,more than $1000 less than Liveaquaria DD.
