The price we pay.

[Dorinda]

What is the most you have paid for a single fish or coral? And do you have regrets of doing so?
Me...120.00 for a beautiful jawfish. It was nice and cool. But it didn't last long enough for the price.

100 for sunkist bounce

$80.00 apiece for 3 RBTAs. Ended up having to take the tank down less than a month after buying them.

Recently paid $147 for a coral that use to cost $30. Because of bans, what they cost now. Still alive.

Any regrets. I'm looking to purchase something nice that I won't regret.

I paid $500 for my long nosed Black Tang 2 yrs. It is growing and has turned out to be quite the specimen..

Many. But neither of those are regrets!

My last fish may be a Gem tang. if I can find a reasonable one

 

[pdxmonkeyboy]

The only purchase regrets I have had is when I spent good money on something online that I should have known it wouldn't really look like that. It's only money after all.

Eat ramen, have a nice tank....

That’s one tang on my wish list

 

[TheHarold]

I don't need a gem tang.... Id rather stress out a black tang so it gets spots

Where do I even begin? I feel like between all the ups and downs I’ve had with my tank I should’ve been able to open my own store with the fish’ and coral losses. Lol but 8 years later It’s finally clear how slow and steady is the best way. Looking back I’ve realized every time I ended up neglecting the tank and experiencing major loss was after a series of good things led to a whole bunch of impulse buys at which point I was more focused on buying new stuff instead of testing and maintaining water quality. But I’m happy to saw I never lost heart enough to shut the tank down.

my biggest regret though by far has to be a purple carpet anemone I was sold only 2 months after my cycle for $300 at least 18” across. Deep down I knew that was prolly not the right choice and I was certain of it when I watched it wither away 7 days later. You live and u learn
