Not really. It depends on the shop. I have seen ugly Ps. furcata for
$2.95, $4.95, $6.95, and good one for $14. Then again I have seen G.
maculosis for $12. It is just here in Honolulu. On the outer islands you
can't even give them (anykind of bows) away (I have tried). What I have
found is that the tastes of the people on theIslands of Hawaii and Maui
haven't developed beyond the good old stand bys. Heck there was a place
selling M. splendida in Hilo for about $3.00 and they were good fish that
would have sold for twice that in Honolulu.
