$19.99 on a cleaner shrimp. I still ahve four damsels in my tank. I'm making sure everything is going well before putting more stuff in. I've had the tank around 3 monthes.

28 bucks for a fire shrimp that got cooked when i left for the weekend and the apt got up to 90-95 degrees. Also lost a 18 dollar cleaner shrimp too. Brittle star had a 46 dollar meal. I wish it would have been the peppermints that died instead of those two.

I'm lucky I got my Royal Gramma for $15.00

I can get almost every fish from Australia for about $40.00 unless its something REALLY Rare.

By the way I spent around $100.00 at some rich persons store for a four inch porcupine puffer.

$300.00 for a 14" Leoprard shark

I dropped $63 on my Blue Star Leopard Wrasse.
I appropriately named him '63'.

The Resplendants are pretty rare. They are indigenous to the waters of Ascension island.

I spent $18.00 on a Moorish Idol, and $19.00 on a twin sport wrasse. The guy from Australia should go diving for his fish if he is paying that much for fish.

We paid $75 2x's for a sweetlips. Our little Royal Gamma and Hippo were just $19.99 each (good deal from reading what others have paid) The sweetlips did die. My husband thought it got sick and then my considerate hubby went out and bought another one. And he died also, seems as though they are not hardy fish.

i spent $200.00 on a brazilian dragon eel!

 

[rockcod5]

My Moorish idol got ick and died within a week. Luckily it was not to expensive, but I don't understand why they are so expensive if the die so soon in the home aquarium. I've seen them for $50 bucks which I would not spend.

 

[gasguzzler]

mikeeyy- I got mine for $100!!!

if u know any tropical reefs in South Austrlia i would be happy to go catch some myself. other wise a return ticket to Queensland is like 600 return. i know the royal Gramma was expensive but then i get most other fish at reasonable prices.
but it was a good though, iam think of settin up a temperate tank with locally caught fish.
One day when the fridge is empty fresh fish for dnner

just some prices of fish that are common in America but not i Australia.
Yellow Tang $180
Flame Angel $190
Clown Trigger $220
get very expensive but oh well.
