Very Rare Jawfish

Basser1 · 01-27-2009, 09:30 PM

Anyone ever seen one of these, an Orange Head Jawfish? Beautiful fish! Divers Den has one for sale, here's a link:

Drs. Foster and Smith Diver's Den® - Opistognathus rufilineatus

Seems DD has been getting in some rare fish lately. They recently had some Candy Basslets that went for $900, and they sold all 3 of them! Presently they have a pair of rare McCulloch clowns for $6000! So much for a "recession"!

UPDATE! The fish is already sold, WOW! I did manage to save a pic of it:

My LFS has one, how much was LA selling it for?

It sold for $99, which I thought was reasonable considering they are not common.

there fish were more expensive then several of the same kind at my lfs

Are you sure they were the same kind? Often there are fish that look very similar but are in fact different.

i meant like they had like 5-10 same species of fishand there were more expensive. i didn't look at sizes so that could be it

I believe this is the jawfish that Nervoustime has, although he called it a red headed jawfish. Pretty specimen.
