How Much Money Do You Have In Your Tank?

[pinkdolphin_113]

i was sat infront of my tank today and i came across the thought of how much money of fish i have in it.
i added it all up to the price i paid for each fish and got a grand total of £87.95
i was shocked!!
i just hope my girlfriend doesn't come across this thought too

i was also think, yea so im pretty shocked but im sure people on here would shock me a little more lol so how much have you guys got in your tank at the moment?

Dont worry, just adding the total up from one of my tanks comes in at over £700, the total cost of all the fish in the fishroom comes in at about £2000.

Most expensive single purchase was a pair of Hemibagrus punctatus at £300 and i have 5 stingrays that cost between £150 and £100 each, an average fish costs between £40 and £50.

woa! i guess you beat me buy a small figure of money lol but then again, i guess your more into expensive fish than i am

 

[ExoticStripes]

Well my tank consists of £415 for 9 fish
So £46 each. But then i have got 10 babies that cost me nothing and could pay for the rest

Well, I have about $40 worth of fish, $20 worth or rocks, $15 worth of driftwood, and $10 worth of plants with another $40 on its way.

grrrr marines so not cheap!! probs ave over £500 in there over time!!

In my main tank they add up to aorud £650, wih 350 of that being a single fish.

I wouldn't like to think how much I'ved spent i total on fish.

I'ved just sold £300 worth of sturgeon from the pond but I'spent a further £400 or so on koi in there this year...

I'ved got £450 worth of rays coming later this week.

Until I started keeping Corys, I just generally kept average, widely available community fish, meaning my largest aquarium had around £40 worth of fish.

However, I now keep Pandas, Trillis, Bronze, Albinos, and I have got some Adolfi and Sterbia on order. Once they arrive, all my fish in all the tanks would come to around £300-£400.

Hmmm...who's the real cheapskate then:

Platies I didn't pay for- those were homegrown

2 guppies I did pay for (the rest were homegrown): 99px2= 1.98

2 bristlenoses (the rest are homegrown) 4.95x2= 9.90

5 portholes (the rest...) 3.00x5= 15.00

4 ticos (the rest....) 4.00x 4= 16.00

4 corys 2.50x4= 10.00

4 amano shrimps 2.10x4 8.40
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
61.28


And that is 5 tanks full- a total of 415 ltrs.

 

[aberdeen aquarist]

I don't want to think about it!!

But probably about the same as CFC, I have got 9 tanks though.

I have thought of this - not recently but when I got ICH through my tank from a fish I got from a LPS
I know quantein first - well I do now

Within 2 days I lost $400 worth of fish (price when bought) . that was all of them. The more expensive ones were bigger then when I got them so they would have been worth more.
In the end I got rid of everything in the tank and started from scratch so all up lost around $600.

That was a big wake up call and since then I have only lost 3 fish - that is over a 15mth period

At them moment I have about $300 worth of fish, $50 for plants, $150 ornaments, $0 for rock (found it),
so that comes to $500 in the tank - not bad for a 3ft. The light I have cost me a futher $500.
