What your most expensive fish?

[Cleo642]

Umm I haven't ever paid more than 325 for a fish. $300 is my arbitrary cutoff notwithstanding taxes. I probably have a dozen or two fish at that price range.

Value wise my Red Sea regal angel Goliath in his giant glory would probably command 4-500 retail. I paid only 220

Lucky guy.

In my 300 gallon I have a gem tang, black tang, purple tang, crosshatch trigger and a lightning maroon all living happily together as well as a host of other fish

For salties, it's my extreme snowflake clownfish pair, at $75 for the pair. For freshwater, I bought a trio of copper hm bettas, back when metallic bettas were brand new and they ran a couple hundred. I had more disposable income as a teen!

My boss offered me a gem tang for $100 if I set up a big enough tank for it, but I passed.

Forgot my chevron tang. Trying to upload a vid from my iPad. Won't let me do it.

I don't have a saltwater tank yet, but my most expensive freshwater fish I ever bought was a 2" Blue snakeskin discus for $60. I know that is a drop in the bucket compared to these other examples.

I have a pair of these beauties thanks to the awesome guys at sea and reef!

Most expensive I bought was a male flame wrasse. Arrived DOA. Then the replacement died pretty much as soon as I opened the bag. In total I wasted $355 for the fish and 2x shipping, and they didn't offer refunds on replacements. So my current most expensive fish is my female flame wrasse for $129.

Most expensive I've seen was the Peppermint Angel in Hawaii.

My most expensive fish, two fish, was my Candy Basslet pair for $1600. I had them for years. I lost one then about a year later lost the other. I had to have another so I got one from a fellow reefer selling his DD Candy. I got a good deal on that one.

I am getting a pair of crosshatch triggers for a ridiculous price.

That fish costs more than most people's cars. That must have been a sad day!

Truth be known, I actually put off buying a much needed car for another year just so I could afford him. Waited 3 years before buying to make sure my tank was perfect so as not to lose him. First time (and last) that I ever leave an opening. Doubly sad was my mystery wrasse also was on the floor the same day....
