899.99$ Resplendent Pygmy Angel! WHY?

Hello,

While I was shopping for a Powder Blue (With no luck) I came across this beautiful little fish so I decided to try to find more info on him until I saw that he cost $899.99 !OUCH!

Supply and demand, I guess. They're only found around Ascension Island in the Atlantic but the ones that are being offered by Live Aquaria are captive-bred. Did you notice that the fish you're getting for your $900 is only 1/2" to 3/4" long?

USD$900 - Ouch!!

Wow.. cant believe that price

Here in Bangkok, you can occaisionally get them for USD$80 to $120 - depending on availability. I dont think I could ever consider $900 - to big a risk on any fish.
