Whats up all...just wondering what is the most expensive fish you own or have ever owned...so list some names and prices.

The most expensive fish I currently own is a snowball pleco $49.99
 
Fish die. Can't see spending too much on them. I stick to small fish. Platy, Molly, and Guppy are my favs. I think the most was for some Gourami's one time. I think they were $3.99.
 
Man the most expensive eh? Ha! I don't trust myself and of course, and my fiance will forever make fun of me for this, I tend to like ugly fish which are cheaper... currently my babies are two small oscars, which I like for their intelligence and personality :)
 
I guess my most expensive was the angel fish, I bought 3 originally, two black and one silver, the black were 5.99 ea, silver was 4.99 ... the black didn't survive my 'startup' mistakes, but the silver is huge now :)
 
Cardinal Tetras...$15 for 4 of the little buggers. I bet you they are more expensive per full-grown inch than a lot of fish! :wink:
 
My personal most expensive is probably my German Ram, who was $17.99.

I haven't bought one, but my lfs has huge Discus for something like $150. Not sure if anyone ever buys them though.
 
I have a Dragon Moray Eel, (SW, so im not sure if i should list it here), if you look on LiveAquaria.com, he sells for $1,100.00. I payed $500.00 for him. :wink:
 
*grin* Bring him to work with you tomorrow and hold him out the car window so I can see stresco ;)

*covers her fish's ears LOL so they can't hear*

I've never spent that much on my guys...most expensive were the clown loaches at $12.99 USD each; one of my angels was the same price.
 
Wow! LOL Fish must be expensive here, b/c I consider myself LUCKY if I can buy a fish for less than $4. Then again I don't buy Mollies or Platties...I prefer Rainbows, Botias, Loaches, and big, fancy, expensive fish! LOL The most expensive fish I have now are my two Balas, and I got them for $15 a piece, but they are 5-6 inches long. I think the most I've EVER spent on a fish is $30, and that was for a Discus...he died though b/c back in '97 we had a huge snow storm and lost power for over a week and all my fish froze!! LOL Poor things.

my most was $125 for an emperator angel from the christmas islands that later died after contracting popeye. also had a $120 king (passer) angel. i really want a bluefaced angel, but they're about the same price range and i still have a bad taste in my mouth from other angels that i've kept.
