I think the most expensive fish I have purchased to date is $12

Dino

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.

TheEssigs

Hey Sir, do you have a picture of him? Id love to see him.

jack11

Mine owuld be $11 (aussie) for my male dwarf gourami.

Callum The Cat

mine would be $25 (aussie) for a chromide green (i bougth 2)

Rock On Callum!

swords3711

how could you pay over 20 dollars for a fish?
the most ive paid is three bucks for a mollie and sword

Callum The Cat

welll if u buy a good fish not like mollies or swordtails then easyily

Rock On Callum!

swords3711

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

Barbrella

I once paid nearly 30$ for a Uaru.

jack11

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.

Jack

Callum The Cat

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

Rock On Callum!

swords3711

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

Tom

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.

Dino

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

capekate

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!!

*thumps dino*

I voted 35+ because of the bettas we purchased recently from a guy in Thailand.

Allie

We've paid $80 buck for a wc caribe piranha which was 10" big.
2 of our fancy plecos were $40 each at 1" big The blue panque and the blue phantom. We got those plecos a year ago.
I also paid $30 for an angelfish at a LFS...only to have it die when I couldn't get my money back. (won't be doing that again) Datnoids at 1" are $30 each but if you buy them in quantity they are cheaper.
Most african cichlids are at least $12 and range to $50 at our lfs.

Isabella

If we're talking about price per 1 fish, then the most is $15 that I paid for my Gold Pearly Veiltail Angelfish, even though it was still quite small! I paid half the price that same day for my Blue Blushing Angel of the same size. But I don't regret one penny spent on any of my fish, ever

Isabella

Allie

Me either...believe me, my family disagrees.

Oh yeah we bought 2 baby arrowana at $60 each. One was murdered by a 2" baby oscar. I was not impressed.
I just realized I don't buy really expensive fish...my boyfriend does.
$30 is the most I have spent.

armadillo

The most I've spent was like 10 dollars (that's about how much mollies cost over here, but am not bothering with an exact exchagne rate, so that's a really rough and ready figure).

Husband bought his fancy pleco for about 50 dollars. Men are such fish-snobs, LOL.

Kevin

i paid $10ea. for my leopard cory and angelicus botia

Sabi

Most i've paid for a fish is about $25 for an L260

sirdarksol

It's all a matter of choice. For example, if someone chooses to start a marine tank, they are going to be paying over $20 for most of their fish.
If someone chooses to raise show koi, they're going to be paying hundreds, or even thousands of dollars per fish.

Kevin

put if you just like to watch fish swim around in a tank at your home...the most i would pay would be around $50...and that would have to be a very healthy fish

COBettaCouple

Our feathered betta Teddy Bear went for $12 at the betta auction & is our most expensive fish so far.

armadillo

One of Sting's (the singer) coy cost him 1 million euros!

My parents are getting coys (I fear the worst for the poor fish, but that's another story). You can get the smaller ones for the price of discus (about 50 dollars).

COBettaCouple

how much drugs was he on when he bought it!?
