    Can someone tell me why the prices on the same fish from different areas are so dramatically different? Do they look different or are some easier to keep then others?? See example below.[img width=10]/DesktopModules/ActiveForums/themes/_default/emoticons/confused.gif[/img]

    its where they come from and what it takes to get them here. The sri Lanka ones would obviously cost much more to get to the states then ones from Hawaii.

    Thanks Craig I thought it was more than just shipping. So I should always go for the higher price region to get the best speciman right?

    I'm not an expert on this, but I believe different regions also have different collection methods which would impact prices.
