Per fish, it is probably in the 20-30$ range.
We recently had some F1 L333 shipped in that cost almost 300$ for the lot.
I regularly spend 200-300$ at auctions.

Hard for me to believe, but my beautiful platinum butterfly koi, Miyamoto, was only 3.99. He was in the "small koi" tank at Petsmart, and I snatched him up.

i would hate to risk it though
just think if you lose it, youre out 20 bucks
if they breed successfully i could see
one mollie had over 30 fry that reached adulthood goin for three bucks each, thats a profit in my opinion

Yes but it depends if your trying to make a profit or you keep fish for entertainment/amusement/calming effect etc. cause some of the more expensive fish have way more personality than mollies and platies.

but if the condititons are good then there no reason they should die

20 bucks isn't that much money if u buy 10 then its alot

but i don't plan to breed them

well i have a smaller tank so the larger fish are the more expensive ones
i stick with the cheaper ones because then i have more variety in the tank
i think its fun to breed livebearers because of the color variations the fry can be
as for more expensive fish having a better personality gouramis discus and angels are some of the more expensive ones that i know of but they dont seem to do anything they do have some different colors but they just arent active

I think the most I have spent one fish is $20 and that was for a L52 pleco. I got 3 of them at the time. After that, the most was $14 for a galaxy rasbora.

We probably have close to 10,000$ in fish in the fishhouse.
To get to that point, we spent close to 2,000$.

Most I paid for fish were for my 7 Discus, and they were 25.00 each.
Yes, you worry about those expensive fish for sure.. but when you love a certain kind of fish, and it does cost more sometimes you just got to do it!!
