prize draws at the CRASE - Page 2

cweber · 08/07/2007, 05:03 PM

Are they really $400 for a pair!?

Serra · 08/07/2007, 07:00 PM

Naw...they're only $350 or so.

jeeperrs · 08/07/2007, 07:43 PM

I am expecting that the only thing I will be giving away is my credit card to the vendors

However, I am going to have my chair there all day so I don't miss any of the drawings ha-ha.

cweber · 08/07/2007, 08:45 PM

That a lot for fish! I want to go.

That's pocket change compared to things like Gem Tangs (~$3,500). Unfortunately, there are even more expensive fish out there.

We will have tickets available at the meeting on Saturday.
Remember, we will also have a 14g oceanic biocube at the meeting in the raffle.

3500.00 for a fish.....that would be asking for a divorce for sure.

I don't thing I would get that one by the "Cruise Director"

Travis L. Stevens · 08/08/2007, 08:25 AM

You don't want to know the price for a legal (to liscensed institutions) Leafy Sea Dragon....

jkhudson · 08/08/2007, 11:31 AM

Petsolutions used to advertise a wrought iron angelfish. It was $1,800 and exempt from their one week warranty. You ordered it and they said it would arrive in 4-6 weeks. I called and just asked about the wait. They call their supplier who calls a guy in Japan who goes and catches one for you. It's like asking a freind when he goes to Florida to bring you back a very expensive sgt.-major damsel. That's what I call special ordering.

I agree, my wife would definately divorce me. LOL

Aside from the fact I am gutted for not being there, I have really enjoyed this thread... Especially nix_tank's rather extended caption for the picasso pic.

lol, I dropped the mind filter for a sec. I try to keep it on the up and up around here, I have a tendency to go on random rants if I don't watch it.

Ehh, it was late-ish at night....err, something like that.

lol

Serra · 08/08/2007, 04:41 PM

Travis- What the heck is a Gem Tang? Give us pics man! Don't mention pricy fish then leave us hanging.

peaceinusa · 08/08/2007, 05:33 PM

I did a Google search for the Gem Tang and quickly ran off from the site....hehehe

It is a nice looking tang, but crazy money at 3500.00.....make that rediculious money.

jkhudson · 08/08/2007, 05:55 PM

I think sohals or clowns look better. it looks like a red sea with small pox.

peaceinusa · 08/08/2007, 06:08 PM

$50.00 "per pox" and it's yours

cweber · 08/08/2007, 07:32 PM

LOL

cweber · 08/08/2007, 07:34 PM

I think its ugly as well.

Travis L. Stevens · 08/09/2007, 07:36 AM

Sheryl, peaceinusa has the link, but if you prefer to save some time, here's the picture.

Yes, MarineCenter is the place to look at expensive fish. It worries me that some fish have a price listed as "Call for availability" or something like that. If I had to pick anything from the site, I would want a proven mated pair of Interruptus Angelfish (Centropyge interruptus). They're $1,400 each, so a pair would be a minimum of $2,800. And, if I they had a pair available, I'm sure they would charge more because it's harder to get a pair.

Serra · 08/09/2007, 07:52 AM

Not too impressed with the gem tang but that angel looks like a winner. My birthday is in Oct. so start the collection now...

cmc0814 · 08/09/2007, 07:57 AM

I think the Gem Tang is beautiful, but I couldn't put down that kind of money on something that might not make it through shipping. If I put a down payment on a car, I want to know that it won't break down when I pull it into my driveway for the first time. Or at least the peace to know that if it does break down as I roll it down the street, it will be taken care of.

nIx_tank · 08/09/2007, 07:59 AM

That angel is sweet...but there is this thing about being married.

Funny...but a $1,400 fish and a wife I don't believe are mutually exclusive.

Just a weird theory, but I just don't think that it would fly where I am at right now.

Serra · 08/09/2007, 08:03 AM

Well this is getting off topic...
I am excited about all the great prizes for crase!
