I once bought a goldfish at a carnival, didnt actually pay FOR him....
It was fate. Happened so fast........
I threw a dime and it landed in a glass......
Some dirty guy that smelled like WD-40 and Stale smoke handed me a bag with a fish in it.
I knew then it was magic...you see for those of you that are married can vouch. Its a snowball effect.
Once wife sees the bag-
The fish gets a macho name....
THEN the innocent looking little fish uses his superior powers of mind control on your wife. Won't work on you, so they go after the women.....Diabolical little creatures....
See because he tells your wife he NEEDS A friend!! (boom another 20.00 in dimes)
THEN they must gang up or something because they start to whine about thier living arraingments.(Boom! 300 on the way home to build the little guy a fish mansion from MTV cribs)
So most expensive fish has GOT to be a goldfish I got for a Dime (with superpowers of mind control)

Well it seems we need some representation of seahorses here..... I paid $180 for a pair of Brazilian Reidis and $130 for a pair of Erectus. All four are doing great, and worth every penny. Cost is all relative - if you can afford it and if you reap pleasure and serenity and relaxation from it, who can put a price on that? Then again, I'm one of those people who will check the unit price on items at the grocery store but won't bat an eyelash at dumping hundreds at the casino.

Mine would have to be my chisel tooth wrasse. I spent 20 bucks on it but from what i hear that was a steal. By far my favorite fish. Dumb as a box of rocks. LOL. He spends hours at a time fighting his reflection. Leaves everyone else alone though.

My most expensive fish I own is a hawaiian Dragon moray Eel. I got it for a steal at 300.00. My favorite fish by far!

$59.99 (minus 15% sale on livestock=$50) for a pretty big double saddleback butterfly.. absolutely beautiful fish! My next biggest expense was my cortez stingray for $40 and my yellow tang for $40. Everything else (including my corals) averaged $20-$35 with the exception of the inverts.

(s)he is at least 4½" from nose to tail
