My ocellaris clown cost $40. I'm currently gearing up to buy a rose bubble tip anemone that will cost about $150. Waiting on my tank to finish maturing properly right now though.

My wife's (euphemism) 4" Gold Severum cost me 30USD. My rule of thumb is to purchase juveniles only, since I want to see them grow.

I paid $6.50 for my first betta more than a year ago. Unfortunately, he lived in my office at work and was intentionally and tragically killed by a true witch of an ex-boss who had access to my office. He was a really pretty guy with a sparkling personality.

My current two bettas cost $50 each, a male and a female purchased at different times. The cost included overnight shipping from the New York City breeder, purchased on Aquabid. They're both wonderful and beautiful. I still miss the first little guy, though.

Probably my most expensive fish (adjusted for inflation) was a Niger triggerfish from way back in my saltwater days. Capn' Nemo was the only one of my salties who had a personality similar to bettas. He'd get all excited to see me, follow me around from one end of the tank to the other, and eagerly but gently took food from my fingers. I've read Niger triggerfish can have a rather mean bite, but he never did. He was a very sweet and amusing fish.

Hmm... probably $14 for my halfmoon betta. But as I get more species of puffers, it'll be around $35 for the porcupine, and I'm sure they are some that will cost more.

My two Bettas cost about $3.00 each. I could see myself spending up to about $30 for a fish.

Once i complete my saltwater bottomless aquarium,roughly 1000 gallons, I will be spending about 650 for a foxface rabbitfish. Can't find any info on their compatability with seahorses.............maybe,maybe,maybe

seahorses should really be a species only tank as they dont compete for food and can starve very quickly due to there slow moving ,, I also heard about a bottomless tank going wrong and it flooded there house so good luck with that as you have to be pretty precise on your build or it can go really wrong ..

Hey, October is not that long ago! I am not one of those people already humming Christmas music. My Christmas tree is not up. The past is closer than the future, as the future may never come.

Rude, really? Sharing information and conversing is rude?
