i think what he mean when he fiberglass was that he went to i guess a boat stor and bought fiberglass and resin.. and coated the inside wood with fiberglass to that it would be water proof.. kinda like building a boat backwards.....

1700 gallons

HEy Johnny,
THat one with the spots is just fricking beautiful. THat is the one for $1000?

To answer your question Harii yes that is the one in the photo... I was looking through old posts... sorry the answer is two months late ... They are collected in Mauritius (smal island of the coast of Madagascar in East Africa) and are uncommon there. Take an uncommon fish from an uncommon place halfway around the world and you get one expensive fish. They usually retail for about double that... if you could ever even find them available. A very notable rare fish online dealer has not even been able to get them in years... and when they had them last they were $1800...
