Whats The Most You Paid For A Single Fish?

$150 USD for my Nebula Discus (in avatar)

$100 for three L200s, then $10 for my puffer i'm typically pretty cheap, but the plecs were my big reward for winning a contest... eventually i intend to sell one or more for $35-$45, but that's still a ways off (no one in AL spends that kind of money on freshwater fish! )

i think i've got about $1800 sunk into my tanks, all told... although i'm also about to purchase my first canister filter for the 20g; i intend to get something rated for the 60g so that i can switch things up a bit once i move on to grad school. so who knows what kinds of costs that's going to add...

most expensive fish would have been my bristlenose pleco which was $20australian. i have no idea how much i would have spent on my whole tank though...i dont really want to know lol

the majority of my fish were 3 for $5.00 except my panda cories Paid $10.00 canadian for each one.

The most Ive ever paid for a fish was $6 for a small common pleco. The most Ive ever spent on an aquatic animal was $16 for 2 small Electric Blue Crayfish.(Actually the most Ive ever spent on any animal was $16 for the crayfish since I got my cat for $10 I just realized that)

Ive spent 35 on discus prolly more


as for my tanks... i used to keep EVERY recipt that i spent money on everything including my fish tanks.. after awhile it got depressing because of the money so i stopped..

im guessing all together easily over 1,500 USD *im 15 yrs old!*

I just paid $40 each for a trio of Betta albimarginata that should be arriving sometime soon... I just keep telling myself I can sell the babies when they breed so I feel better about the money

[Grim Reaper]

£7.50 for my CT

came on Paul we know u want to tell us about ur arowana

 

[SPLiSH]

I spent $12 on my betta.

 

[Videl]

Most expensive fish i ever bought was a Black Ghost Knife which sold for $24.

It strikes me that relative to all the other money we spend to keep them... and all of the happiness they give us... fish are really cheap. Even our expensive ones.

Just a little perspective.

No idea, but would be very cheap... until I get the discus, that is...!
Actually, i think it would be better for the hobby generally if fish were a LOT more expensive and tanks/ equipment cost less.
Will never happen, of course, but if tetra's or guppies cost £10 each and wouldn't breed easilyI bet people would take way better care of them... ie CHANGE SOME WATER.
