What is the most money you have ever spent on a fish?

[Bubbashrimp]

I have spent a lot of money participating in this hobby, but

I do not think I could talk my wife into buying this one.

I have lost count of how many time's people bring that fish up. I would never pay that. The most I have spent on a fish was 89.99.

If you asked me whats the most ive ever spent on a coral i wouldnt answer that question.

I will gladly say Ive never spent more than $40 on a fish though.

[Bubbashrimp]

you spend alot of money on a single piece of coral

Well i had a chevron tang which is a $140 fish but i got for $50 so i voted for $100 or less

You said "I have lost count of how many time's people bring that fish up. I would never pay that. The most I have spent on a fish was 89.99."

Has anyone done a poll?

I tried to delete the question but there are no deletes on this particular forum

I know people that have spent over $5000 for a shark.

I DID almost buy this fish once though for $600...........Still may someday as he is my favortie by far

He is worth $600 way more than that tang is worth $3300. Just my opinion of course.

That is a beauty is it a kind of stone fish?

[Fly Guy]

Its a rhinopius scorpion.

here are some more crazy ones... http://www.justrarefish.com/html/sco...for_sale_.html

That fish would blend in well with a lot of purple coraline algae

Not a good candidate for me, for my kids like to stick thier hands into the tank and have my shrimps clean them...so even if I got a seperate tank I would fear that they or a niegborhood kid would get hurt because are they not venemous or posionous(I always forget which one is which)

I voted 50 or less but I got a flame angel for 60 but after discount and xenia credit, it was much cheaper.

[jenajet]

no need to delete. Your just not the first person to come across that fish and go OMG! You gotta be kidding me! Don't think it was a poll, just a general thread a good while back.

[Bubbashrimp]

I know about koi and they can get very high, well past that fish. I have never seen a fish that high in the marine aquarium trade except for sharks, but i do not really pay close attention to fish, I am more of a shrimp lover. I was not thinking about the price as much as I was thinking about if you woke up the next morning and saw it dead in a piece of equipment(like a powerhead or something). Or if it jumped out of your tank and your cat was chewing on it like it was a kitty treat. How would you feel not having any guarantee except that it arrived alive? (eventhough in both cases it was probably your fault)

[jenajet]

I'd want a lifetime guarantee, and we all know that ain't gonna happen.
I want to clarify that I want a guarantee for my lifetime not the fishs'.
