Most Expensive Fish?

The most I've ever spent on a fish was $38 for an Eibli Angel I had in a FOWLR tank years ago.
Though a LFS near me usually has a Conspiculatus Angel or two for sale at $2,000 a pop. They also occasionally have rare stonefish that sell for between $1,200 and $1,500.

oh boy this reminds me of a story. do these stonefish happen to be rhinopius scorpions/ i remember when Conogre ( i think) got his for 80$ on a lfs mislabel. They had it as a striated angler and it was really a 1200 dollar fish. God sometimes i love those stupid Lfs''s

We saw a Clarion Angel for sale at a LFS for $5000! Can you believe that? I rather spend the $ on something else!

My most expensive fish was a 5-6" Harlequin Tusk for $125 bought 4 years ago, had him for 3 years before he died of ick.

I have spent $30 on many fish, that's about my mst expensive. Pakistani Butterfly, Panther grouper, and a couple of Lions. All of those died but the grouper, and I just got another lion yesterday for $27.
$180 for a yellow tang??? DAMN
I want a clown trigger so bad, but can't find one for a good price. I did see one for $69, and he was pretty descent size, but I don't want to drop that much on a fish yet.

In the past it was 30-40 for my Yellow Tang, they were cheaper at other places, but I wanted this tang.
In sept. I might be paying $34 for a Lunar Wrasse. I refused to pay too much for a fish. $140 for a fish? No way!
I'm mad because the clowns at one store are $24.99, at ***** they are 12.99 but they don't look as nice...on this site they are 14.99, and even if I were to allow myself to buy fish online, I can't add 79.00 worth of fish to my tank, and I can't afford another $94 order (9.99 surchange, 2.99 fual charge adding to subtotal).
Wouldn't it be cheaper to have someone from the US ship fish to Australia? Even if you lost a few in the mail, it'd be cheaper. I mean 8 bucks here, you spend 120?
