    Just a little big too big for me. I like to watch them grow from little ones. :) Still haven't made up my mind yet. :confused:

    I don't like to spend a lot of money on fish mainly because they will die at some point. Plus, I like the fish that are in the low to moderate price range. Now, I wouldn't have a problem on spending $90 on a coral frag, which I have done because it will spread, you can frag it as it grows and will live hopefully for a lot longer time.

    My most expensive fish was a Flame Angel for $59. It died. So I bought another for $59. It crawled into a large shell.....and died. Didn't try again.

    $50 for a Powder Blue Tang. Died in the great crash of 08.

    When everything is back to normal I plan on getting another.

    My Fairy Wrasse was $60, it jumped out eventually but I had it for like a year. Also I paid $60 for my Powder Blue. That one is still kicking after a couple months.
