Lightning Strikes New York City

Group buy?

Our sources tell us that BOTH of the first two fish were sold to the same buyer who paid over $16,000 for the pair, and promptly flew them first class to the center of the world, New York City.  The parent fish have yet to produce additional offspring, so with only 14 of these fish in captivity worldwide, future buyers will have to be aggressive with their bidding in order to pick up two fish to potentially make a pair of Lightning x Lightning.

Yah, I just can't get into the crazy *cough* tumescence *cough* that some have with regards to genetic oddities in fish.

I have to agree, even though I had to look the word up to agree. I will say of all the oddball designer fish these are pretty nice, but the price is ridiculous. Seems like some folks just like to say they spent the money. I have seen people pay extra money for corals, just because it has a name stuck to it and likewise not want to buy at all if it doesn't. I still like the standard ocellaris and GSM's about as well as any clowns designer or not.
