And you thought discus were expensive?..

**Discusdude7** · 10-24-2013, 12:40 AM

Was at lfs (living reef orlando) to get a neo therm heater for QT tank. I asked the guy if he had anything cool/rare and he showed me the PEPPERMINT ANGELFISH they sold for $25,000. It has been purchased and they are waiting for the guy to pick it up. There is only two (correct me if I'm wrong) of these in the world and I thought it was cool to see one in person. Beautiful fish.
And I thought discus were expensive...

Who, in their right mind, would pay that kind of money for a fish?

**Slojo** · 10-24-2013, 08:11 AM

Ouch,I can get quite a few Discus for that price.

They live at 300 feet and require cooler water than the average reef tank.
I got mine for less than $15...
