Expensive fish

I've been offered $350 for my chinese perch, $350 for my tigrinus (worth every penny), and $250 for my Jag (sounds insane, but he's nice:D)

How big is the tigrinus? My LFS has one that's about 18" for $250 but I don't have the space for him :sad:

If you include shipping in the price I've spent a little over $100 for a pair of crowntail bettas.
When I was into discus I spent anywhere between 50-200 on a single fish.
I spent like 150 on a clown trigger.

I'm sure I have spent more on fish over the years I really don't remember. If I want the fish and have room for it I get it.

the large font, plus bolding, and underlying it makes it true enough for me. tht is crazy. tht is a new tv, very used car, down payment on a car, 1 mths rent, a dinner for 10 at a verrry expensive resturant. i wish u good luck on gettin the pictures, cause i wanna see the pair of fish tht cost 600 wengwangs.

they were a breeding pair, so he could have sold the babies for more money, maybe they were like an investment. the most ive spent on fish was 35$ on two discus, but i gave them to an employee at my lfs, and i was about to spend 75$ on a 4 inch black aro, but i knew might not be able to upgrade my 100g in a year so i didnt get it.

tht is wht i'll assume as well. on something tht expensive i would like some type of return. on a side note i googled peacock bass and below is wht i found. it's a very handsome fish.

75 on a perfect 5 inch vampire plec

spent 150 one day on two gold nuggets and a sultan pleco, all three of which died within days. Thanks for not honoring your warrenty fintastic!

Only spent 16 bucks on my arrowana, but since he's grown out, he's worth about 250-300.. I've had offers :rolleyes:

45 bucks a pop for two inch vampire plecos.


Eh, I don't too much mind spending money on fish if I get good healthy fish in exchange.
 
Roughly $430 (including shipping) for a Potamotrygon Otorongo. My wife's christmas present this year.

He arrived today and is healthy and being acclimated to his new home as we speak.
 
i bought 12 Boesmani rainbow at $16.99 each plus tax. It came to something like 240 bucks or so.. =X

the guy never even mentioned cycling but smiled to himself thinking id be back for more.

Pah!

I bought three Anthias for $115


You'll find that SW is generally WAY more expensive, especially if order fish for people to go out and hand catch.
