the most you've paid for a single fish - Aquarium Advice

hc8719 · 07-18-2006, 11:46 AM

my bgk for $20 at petsmart, he's only 3-4", and i did hesitate with the price tag when other african brown knifes (a far less exotic) was only $8 in the next tank over ($20 was a lot for me considering the most before i paid for fish was $6 for a dragon goby, and $5 for angel fish)

but the bgk was worth it, im not disapointed

$13.99 for a teeny, baby albino bristlenose pl*co.

I know-big spender! What can I say; plain fish is good enough fer me.

$25 for my L-316 Rio Jari pleco plus another $25 in shipping for a total of $50. Well worth it to have a cute little pleco that won't get any bigger than 3"

For a freshwater fish, $80 for a 7 inch royal pleco in my old 125. Could've bought a younger one for much less though.

So far the most expensive fish I've purchased were my Bolivian Rams which were 8.99 each (wow BIG spender I know!).

I plan on possibly getting a gold nugget pleco however for my new tank and the cheapest I've seen (actually the ONLY I've seen locally) is Petsmart for 39.99.

12.99 for a pair of juv. Kribs

$8.49 for my clown loaches, and $9.99 for my GBR's.

I just got a fish that is worth robably close to $30 for free though (full grown angel)

Ky'smommy · 07-18-2006, 01:38 PM

well 80.00 for one and for nine others it was 50.00 each. those are my discus tho.
after that i think i spent 13.99 each for two rams.
and 12.99 for a bristlenose pleco

I spend a $105.00 pluse $45.00 for over night shiping for a pair of Apistogramma gold triple reds.

Then I spent a total of $375.00 for 8 pairs of Apistogrammas. To start my dream buisness. A hatchery in Texas.
