camnbron Posted September 23, 2007 Report Share Posted September 23, 2007 One less kole tang now I grabbed the one that was in the top tank with the yellow tang. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wasp Posted September 24, 2007 Report Share Posted September 24, 2007 Good score. Yellow tangs are pretty but kole tangs are very cool. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
camnbron Posted September 24, 2007 Report Share Posted September 24, 2007 The kole tang seems to hide behind the rock alot, still active roaring up and down the back, but just not out the front where I would prefer him to be :evil: . Would this be because it is the only tang in the tank? Or is it just a settling in/freaked out by the nosey people type thing I'm keeping my eyes out for another different tang to add in later on (christmas time)just not a bog standard type.

davidb Posted September 25, 2007 Author Report Share Posted September 25, 2007 pity I didn't start the hobby back then! I notice even in the last year prices are slowly creeping up at HFF... I'm sure the last Foxface to come in wasn't $170 :-? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markoshark Posted September 25, 2007 Report Share Posted September 25, 2007 I was asking about the prices at albany, told that due to the colder season harder to get stock, so higher prices. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shaneo Posted September 25, 2007 Report Share Posted September 25, 2007 Does the exporters catch quota limit for the year have much to do with it? The kole tangs are awesome fish, is the other one still there? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reef Posted September 25, 2007 Report Share Posted September 25, 2007 ... I'm sure the last Foxface to come in wasn't $170 It depends where the fish was shipped from and the foxface is not the same as the normal ones, this one has a black spot on them. Prices are going up due to inflation , maf costs/ air freight. Some airlines have really raised the prices. But stock is still cheap considering that volumes to nz is very small.

Its harder to get stock because demand is too high overseas, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shaneo Posted September 25, 2007 Report Share Posted September 25, 2007 I think HFF deserve the prices there stock go for Was VERY happy with my last few dealings with them. Soo is the kole still there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reef Posted September 25, 2007 Report Share Posted September 25, 2007 not sure about the kole, Both stores had kole tangs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ira Posted September 25, 2007 Report Share Posted September 25, 2007 Ok, so definitely yellow tangs then... A shop in Petone (YAY! Wellington marines!) had a small one for $220. I think an Auckland shop advertised them for $200 a few weeks ago? And I can't remember where but I saw somewhere else not long ago advertising them for $250.

Its harder to get stock because demand is too high overseas, :-? I'm sure they do have a quota system for fish reef, It wouldn't be as strict as NZ's QMS but they would still have a max number of fish they can take in a year.

puttputt Posted September 25, 2007 Report Share Posted September 25, 2007 I looked at some euphilias in there a few weeks back, and thought the prices were ridiculous, $300 for a hammer!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
