    30 dollars for a snowflake eel. i fed him every day and he was 3 inches when i got him and then 6 inches in a month. it was amazing. i returned him for a dwarf lionfish. that thing died and now all ive bought is coral.

    i'm not done stocking my tank but so far my most expensive fish has been my helfrichi firefish, i got him on sale at liveaquria for $90 but with shipping it was like $125. My pair of black and white clowns were also $90 but that was for two fish

    I have not broken $25 yet. Most expensive so far is the Coral beauty $22. I am not confident enough in my ability to go more the that right now. Maybe someday.

    My LFS wants me to give them your phone number ;D


    That was a very nice pick-up. My chevy cost me $250 and I know that clown triggers aren't cheap either.

    hahahaha i'm sure i could easily go on a spending spree there, lol so long i have the money :D but it's so true, i don't seem to like any of the cheaper fish. The cheapest fish that i like is the McCosker's *sp* flasher wrasse, and that's it. But i'm sure the cheapest fish that i'll be getting is the tank bred bangaii cardina, i don't like the fish but my mom wants it, so i have to get it

    my lfs sold a grouper that gets up to 3 feet long and and it was 1300 dollars it was so cool it was yellow and black, they also sell sharks for like 900. i cant imagine anyone paying that much money for a fish. ive also seen a kryptonite candy coral for 500$ and a acan for 800$ and the frag was only 42 square inches!!!! can you imagine that

    95 for one black clown would have to be the most I spent on one fish
