The $30,000 Peppermint Angelfish

The Waikiki Aquarium recently acquired a rare prize: a deepwater peppermint angelfish collected during a research expedition funded by the Smithsonian Institute. Collectors have offered prices as high as $30,000 for the exotic fish, the only one in captivity available for public viewing. HONOLULU Magazine spoke with Andrew Rossiter, the aquarium’s executive director, in this web-exclusive video.
