In saying that, they've got a Tang that i've got (one of my favourite fish in my tank..) for the same price. I know what i'd rather have.

Well I reckon if you lived in the middle of continental America with miles and miles from the nearest ocean, you don't really have much choice but to grin and bear it as you hand over your sixty bucks.

Lol, considering some of the fish i've seen on Liveaquaria for a LOT less, who would want a stripey. Hell, i nearly harpooned one when i had it in my four foot a while ago. I did try, but it kept hiding. Damned things.

I remember we caught about 4 of em at Redland Bay jetty one day, ended up with two.. took one back and then kept the other.

I got another one on the weekend, although its about 1cm long and in my two foot tank. It'll be easy to get out when i want it out

That is amazingly expensive for what we consider as a rubbish fish for starting an aquarium.

The sometimes huge numbers and the discusting areas they live in,thats rediculas.

I suppose it is like this guy over in the states that replied to a thread i put on an american forum about what we collect here and he reckons our stuff is great,better than what he sees and he showed some pictures of what he classed as the very ordinary fish he collects,queen angels,my favourite!!!! and hundreds of dollars in our shops type of fish,what the

Wow as well!

Well guys the answer is obvious - start a marine fish export business.
