Richard Posted January 16, 2006 Share Posted January 16, 2006 No, I don't want to buy your most expensive fish . This post is here for you to share your experiences on the most expensive fish you have ever purchused, it can be a colony of fish or just any single fish. Also whats the most you'd pay for that dream fish of yours Anyways i'll start off. The most expensive fish i have bought were my peppermint trio for $400, not alot in the eyes of other hobbyist especially those buying colony's of Frontosa and single arrowanas! cheers; Richard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ant Posted January 16, 2006 Share Posted January 16, 2006 I payed $200 for a High grade discus, i had 4 of them. Thank god I sold them because I probably would have killed them, I would have had stuff all time to care for them properly. When you get into discus it can leave you very out of pocket.

abob Posted January 17, 2006 Share Posted January 17, 2006 My most expensive was a gibbi at $70 (a bargain when I bought him/her). Most expensive colony would be 4 orange spot BN for $120. Most of the fish I buy are in the $10-20 per fish bracket. I also find the cheaper the fish the longer they live. If only the fish were the expensive bit Dean Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
