I also am a parrot owner, and there are some birds that go for 11,000 (some kind of Black cockatoo) and the hyacinth mackaw goes for about 6-7 grand.
But, birds talk, and snuggle and do tricks too..
I would pay that much for a fish that could sit on the couch with me and watch wheel of fortune. lol
very good movevery nice fish, really like the second one, but i would rather buy a second salt water setup and stock it before i spent 1500 on a fish, what if the fish died the 15th day, i cant see myself doing that to myself, lol
