the amounts i quoted were aus dollars...we sell powderblues for $150 AUD...see we buy them for the same as u guys but then we need to sell them, and with imports we can lose a few so we up the price more and they just become anywhere from 100-200, but we sell quite alot. i earn bout $400 a week and live at home so it is affordable for me...the joy i get out of this hobby is more than money can pay 4..... u shouldnt let money control ur life, so if i want something i save till i can afford it....as a student i have spent around 7-8 thousand on my tank in 12 months and i still wanna get a calcium reactor which will be another $1200.
i just paid $100 AUD (retail was $180) for a flame angel...and its the center piece of my tank...worth every dollar
also just paid $60 AUD (retail $180) 4 a cleaner shrimp and $60 AUD (retail $180) for a maxima clam.
i know it sounds like a lot and it is....but the demand is just not as high here in aus as it is in the US

it probably is cheaper to import them to myself but im not sure how to do it and i dont have a qt facility to handle a large number of fish as i would try and order all in one....but if anyone knows of a way for me to import by myself i would be interested......some ppl in the states have offered to buy and then send them to me but who do u trust, know wat i mean....can they even trust me for example...i dont know...really my tank is almost complete anywayz...when i get my upgrade which i hope to make a 200-300 gallon sps with tangs and anthias then i might look on to it.
btw i had a lobouti wrasse that i picked up for $20 AUD retail....u guys in the states pay $200 US
at the mo i have a purple queen anthia that i paid $25 AUD...not sure wat u's pay though
local stuff is alot cheaper.

haha freshwater has some that are much more expensive. some arowanas can cost you up to 2 grand.

i agree with exile , arowanas are the most expensive fish ive seen , but they sell for $49 when they are 3-5 inches and shoot up to $2000+ as adults. they are admired most buy asians/orientals because they belive that they bring good luck "lucky dragon".

i bought a silver arowana for a feshwater tank that is now houseing an albino tiger oscar. Unfortunaly, my tank cracked and leaked and he didnt survive :-(
He was like 3 inches and only 15 bucks though!
there is a chinese resuturant that i know of that has like a 120 gallon tank proabbly with an austrailian and a silver arowana that are close to 18 inches probably

Koi can sell from 1 USD to tens of thousands. I'm not quite sure what kind of benefit you're talking about.
