~jamie~ Big Fish Posts: 463 Kudos: 671 Votes: 65 Registered: 08-May-2004	[vote]$20 - $49.99[/vote] The most we ever spent for a fish in my tank was $30 (U.S.) for Abner my albino bristle nose but he is about full grown, my other ABN's the 3" female was $10 and the juvies were $3/each (I bought them on-line, shipping was a different story).

I think the most I've paid for any of the fish I currently have is $10. ~~~~~~~~~~~~ There is water at the bottom of the ocean

But in all honesty I would be more inclined to buy a fish the high priced with intentions to breed.

ceridwen Enthusiast Posts: 270 Kudos: 296 Votes: 0 Registered: 26-Aug-2003	[vote]$20 - $49.99[/vote] Currently this is the most I'd pay for a fish ... living with my parents and my tanks are having problems - lol. I'm saving up for a new car (for me ) and college - so I can't afford much more. But I'd pay this much (or this little ) for a few bettas I've seen. Most I've paid is $10/each and that was for a peacock gudgeon

chocobobabe Fish Addict Posts: 530 Kudos: 214 Votes: 0 Registered: 06-Nov-2002	[vote]$10 - $19.99[/vote] I'm not a great fishkeeper yet, so I'm not willing to spend that much on a fish that may just end up dying in a day due to my mistake. Brandi Edit: I just read this whole post and I have to say: I am planning on spending in the neighbourhood of $3500 on my first Asian arowana. Why would you do that?!?!?![/font] [span class="edited"][Edited by chocobobabe 2004-06-19 20:16][/span]

rewd Big Fish Posts: 351 Votes: 0 Registered: 29-Aug-2003	[vote]$20 - $49.99[/vote] i can't remember ever paying more then $10 for a fish but i just won an auction on a betta that I had to have. ended at $17 with $25 for overnight shipping. if he turns out to be as beautiful as described and as lovely as the picture made him out to be I'll be very happy with spending this much and will do it again in a heartbeat

Shinigami Ichthyophile Catfish/Oddball Fan Posts: 9962 Kudos: 2915 Registered: 22-Feb-2001	$100+ This will all change when I have to support myself... Most I've paid so far is 65.00 each (discus). 100.00+ for f/w rays is common here, haven't done this cause I don't have a big enough tank yet, and my wish fish (blue eyed plec) if any ever comes up will easily be over 250+. Most FW rays are quite expensive on this side of the ocean as well. And the Blue Eyed Plec's original natural habitat has pretty much been nuked by pollutants, though there is a theorized river they may also come from in an area where some drug people are working. :%) [span class="edited"][Edited by Shinigami 2004-06-18 11:34][/span] -------------------------------------------- The aquarist is one who must learn the ways of the biologist, the chemist, and the veterinarian.

iamking Enthusiast Posts: 289 Kudos: 633 Votes: 3 Registered: 05-Jan-2002	"$100+ on a albino bristlnose, Dont know why i just love them" And to think that they go for about $6 each here... I was thinking about that i can get 10 for $50 and postage about around $200. Now i just gotta get around quarantine . If i could do it it would be cheaper then paying $400 for 1.
