Most expensive fish?

[Porkchop]

Correct me if I'm wrong but isn't there an Arowana that's said to bring good luck or something?

Hans,
I was just at the Atlanta aquarium and saw that the Discus exhibit is under construction. I was hoping to see some cool biotope or something.Are you supplying fish for the new exhibit?

Yes, we delivered 14 days ago 90 Discus for that tank. Most wild looking and a mix of Red Pigeons, Snake Skins and Cobalts.

It's still going take a while before the tank is ready,

Good and bad luck. Not good luck if you have one die on you. Flowerhorn or LouHan is another popular fish that could get quite expensive.

Exotic fish is going to be as much as someone willing to pay for them.

Highly prized Koi in Japan could easily fetch over US $100,000
One of these from Ikarashi was priced at 100 grand wholesale if I have the right fish and my memory hasn't gone to heck'''''''''




I wish I have those kind of cash


Cheers

I saw them when I was at the 2007 Aquarama; it's in my video clip:

Whoa, at first I was going to say how impressive that platinum arowana was until I saw the second video and realized how much smaller he is than I originally thought...

Still nice looking though... Wonder if there were anymore in that batch of fry?

Personally, I have seen discus, Mark Weiss discus, for sale in 1995 for $450.00 ea in Pennsylvania. In 1990, or there about, I saw a Zebra Pleco, first I have ever seen, for $465.00 in Lakewood, Wa. .

If you click on the auction though it's for (5) pairs....

Yup asian arwarna is the most expensive fish cause it take 7 yrs to be ready for breading and you need a lot of space. Specialy the super red arowarna from Kalimantan. The adult (75cm) price almost the same price with Honda fit.

Well, if you stay away from the "show stuff" (individual fish purchased at ridiculously high prices by collectors or breeders) and stick with it just on a species to species basis, I've seen Clarion Angels go for over $6,000 in my LFS. Gemmatum Tangs are usually up there too, over $3,000. And, of course, deepwater species like Peppermint Angels can go for well over $10,000.

[FLGirl1977]

Holey cow! Those are beautiful fish though... especially that peppermint angel. Are they that expensive because of their rarity or beauty?

Most expensive I have seen in person was a koi (don't ask me the "type" 'cos I don't know ) it was £25,000.
