	100 Dollar Goldfish?
Cory_Di Ultimate Fish Guru Posts: 7953 Kudos: 2917 Votes: 25 Registered: 19-Dec-2002	I had to go to Petsmart, which is the only fish store within 10 miles that sells Hikari Frozen Foods. As usual, I had to go stare at the fish. I was shocked to see that a lone Ryukin in a 20 gallon tank that was about 4-5 inches was going for $99.99. I saw a second fish, an oranda, in another tank, going for $89.99. Man! I need to get me a female again and get breeding. I paid $10.00 for my Ryukin, who is now about 2/3 the size of the one in the store. And, my Hisoki (below) is so much more handsome I just had no idea that they go for that much at that size.
