Most Expensive Fish You've Seen

what was the most expensive fish you have ever seen, what kind and where did you find it?
mine is a medium sized harlequin tusk(saltwater) on fish.com for $83, not including shipping

just found out it was marked down from $116

 

I saw a red Radiata Lionfish going for like around $145 USD. Gorgeous fish!

 

I saw an arowana yesterday going for 1500 euros. I guess that's close to 2500 USD! He was a juvenile, about 40cm long.

 

I found a Peacock Bass that is $499CDN.

I thought the zebra plecos were a lot at $200, but those arrowanas make them seem cheap.

YEAH, I SAW a silver arowana last February, it was nearly 2' long, the price was Tk. 50,000; which is US$700!!!!

Yeah, I think so. At least that was his colour, so I assume that's his breed. Actually. Saw him today again and he was only for 1250 euros, instead of 1500. If we wait long enough...

they need to have a loan department at that fish shop!

 

Arowanas are popular at one of our LFS, and are definitely the most pricey fish in the joint. They get beautiful huge tanks to themselves, too, for how much they are worth! There are frequently fish over $2500, but a couple years ago there was a high-back Malaysian blue/gold one for something like $4000 dollars, and I believe that other rare ones have gone for almost twice that. (Canadian dollars)

ouch! I think i'd go crazy if that fish had ANY symptoms or anything remotely resembling a hint of a symptom maybe..

 

Yesterday I saw this Fish in a Marine Tank and I just couldnt get my eyes off it. It was so beautiful (looked very tasty too) :-* I think it was an angel fish. I asked the price and it was $1000 and that was the end of that. My question is does any one have any names, photos or videos of some very expensive fish?

 

An XXLg Peacock Bass was going for around $499 here.

I have seen certian types of Koi going for over $2000.

 

That's about $400,000 to you Americans...

 

holy moolah mackerel, batman! ka-ching!

 

let's see.. on one hand I could have 1 fish.. on the other hand I could build a fish house like Dino's with all those tanks and fish.. hmm.. tough decision. for that price, i'd expect his poo to be platinum. wow! I can't believe that price!

 

hahahaha, that's funny. That's indeed a taugh decision

i've seen a sooty grunter going for 1.5 million!!!!!!!!!!!!! AU

But that's an angling fish! Why'd you want one of them?

 

I don't no but it would be cool to have 1.5 million dollar fish

Peace Out Callum!

 

full grown arowana going for $2000

 

the most expensive fish i've seen around here is koi. huge ones going for something like R800

 

the most expensive fish I saw was a fully grown oscar for $500

 

Soon as I get the battery for my cam, I ll take a video of some nice aquariums as my LFS and post it on this site.

 

well I quess no one has topped the sooty grunter and wasn't there already a topic about this?

Peace Out Callum!

 

I was reading an article on an arrowana* (not sure about spelling). Really rare type of it an aquarium bid (cant remember either): $80,000 or $800,000 and got turned down!!! Crazy stuff right there.

yea, I remember the platinum arowana and I think I'll stick with buying a fish house full of fish with the same amount of money.. can you imagine buying that fish and having him get dropsy or tb or something?!

 

I recently went Long Beach Aquarium, in Cali. Its one of the biggest aquariums in US, I believe. I took some videos, although the is not so sharp but they came out good. There are lots of videos, which I want everyone to see and enjoy. I want to know how I can post them. Please help me out. Some of them are very awesome.

 

You know that white arowana up there^? MFK had a contest for whoever could get something like a million posts they got one for free. I don't know if anyone got it though.

The most expensive fish I have ever seen was a platinum Gin-Rin koi or Kin-Rin koi (don't remember), 4 1/2 feet long go for 1.2 million USD. I don't get it, I could get a 5" one for 10 bucks and would rather wait for it to grow. The second most expensive fish I have seen was a blue lobster, only it was about 2 feet long and was salt water, he was 460,000 USD, if I had a saltwater tank I would have loved him, he was the color of one of the aquarium background light blues with dark blue streaks and looked like he easily weighed 30 pounds. YUMMY! That is one pricy meal!

OMG: 1.2 million USD!!! You're kidding, right. Man some people have nothing better to do with their money.

 

yea, that's crazy.. just think of the fish house you could build and stock with that much cash.

 

I thought it would be cool to see what some of the most expensive/rare fish people have are. So why not post pics if you have it and a little info and price if you're comfortable. I just set up my saltwater tank about 3 months ago so so far the most expensive fish i've owned is my 60 dollar yellow tang. Typical, but still a wonderful fish!

 

$70 Yasha goby. I'll get a pic later.

 

Prob a couple peices of my coral. But for fish it would be my f1 polits in my sig.

 

Ohh..this should be an interesting thread!!
