Platinum arowanas fetch $15k as babies (only 3 inches long). Full growns go for millions.

The most I've ever paid on one fish is $9 for my synodontis hybrid. He's a year and a half old and was worth every penny. I've spent up to $50 on my panda corys; each one is $4. I used to have 8, a few have died and I've got more. I have 6 now.

Millions??? how long do they live? and can you breed them?

Arowanas live for quite some time. They mature around 5 years old and can live as long as 30 years! I'm sure you can breed them, but breeding platinum arowanas would be VERY expensive. You'd have to buy a female and a male, and if they go for so much money, how would you make profit? They aren't purchased often because of their high price tag. I mean, I love fish, but I'd spend 3 million dollars on a new house rather than a fish I could kill simply by have a power outage. @__@

Well......

Ellis was in Peterborough, we live in Manchester....

So whilst he was free.... he still cost us over £60 to go and get him!

Most expensive fish was my m. dayi eel, Bob, he was i think £15/£20...... i forget though but i know it was sufficient for me to fib about the price to OH....

The most expensive has to be my goldie plec, who cost me $36. I was afraid he wasn't going to make it, but now he is fat and happy.

You people are so lucky for cheap fish, not in OZ

Most expensive fish for me
$50 for a sailfin plec
then about $40ea for some discus
and $60 for a school of chocolate gourami (7 I think)

Most expensive fish I've considard, a birchar for $300

most expensive fish I've seen, $1200 for a large (3' ?) wild caught shovelnose catfish)

I agree with you Katchan, fish are expensive here.
One LFS I go to has sunset discus going for $160 each. Most of my fish cost around $3-4, I have a gourami that cost $9.
Saltwater fish are SO expensive. That's why I don't have them! Another LFS I know had clownfish pairs for $500...I think a blue tang was around $90

 

[Darkerwhite2]

$60can for my green spotted pleco (dill)

 

[dwarfgourami]

Afraid I'm a bit of a cheapskate My most expensive was £ 4.95 each for a pair of bristlenoses, and I've already earned more than that selling their fry. Other than that, £ 4.00 each + postage for 6 phallichthys tico, so hardly extortionate and they are well worth the price.
