You guys decide. I have an order for a Personifer, but he has offered me a Goldflake (4") for an insane price.
Thoughts?

Personifer, and I'll send you money+personal commission for the Goldflake.
To be honest (not to offend any personifer owners), your comparing Jack Daniels to Johnny Walker Blue label.

I went with the Goldflake. I have been looking for a good size one for a while now to hang with the other angels in the tank.
The personifer is a great fish and will definitely put one in the bigger tank.
As for the clarion, I had one in QT at the distributor from the original batch that died from Marine Velvet. Since getting my hands on that one I have been gun shy. I am also noticing the price dropping dramatically. THere are stores unloading them now for less than $2K.
That will be my final fish...some day

KJR, yea, blue is the 'top' of the line, $400 for a 1.5L/$20 for a glass at most places. Black is gooood stuff too.
Campell, good choice, that is true about sizes on this guys. BTW, how good of deal is a 'smoking deal?' I found one locally for half of a certain LA/DD site. Is smoking significantly better then that?

LOL!!! $225 is a great deal. WHat size is it? Usually the ones that I see for that price are 2". The one that I am getting is just under 5".
I will post pictures when I get him. I wish I had my bigger tank cause I think that the Personifer and the Goldflake would make a great team!!!

I love this, we decide what do do with your $$$!!! You know these fish better than anyone; but I did hear (from someone I trust) that the goldflakes that are on the market now are really exceptional fish. Since I retired to become a full-time single Dad, I'm staying away from the top-shelf fish, but still like to talk to old friends about them. They have a couple Hawaiians, and I REALLY like to buy Hawaiian or Australian fish whenever I can. The last goldflake I looked at was from Christmas Island and they are sure becoming a Mecca for well-handled fish too; as well as maybe having the best bonefishing spot on the planet.

You can't compare Tennessee sour mash to scotch! Thats like comparing Clarions to damsels!

HAHAHA! No not business trip. My wife and I were cruzing though ***** for some stuff and I saw the Salfin in a tank with a Yellow tang!! They were brutally beating each other.
The yellow looked really bad (torn fins and skinny). The Salfin was plump as can be but had the bad HLLE. So I got him for $17 and he has been a great fish in my QT for 2 months now.
