What Does A $12,000-$15,000 Fish Look Like?

[xxxAngeloxxx]

I'm sorry but for that money I want a fish that's so bright I have to wear sunglasses to see it and it better **** gold nuggets!

I agree wit Ryan he better be as smart as that godfish from American Dad lol

 

[jr973]

Dame that's crazy and I thought Doms gem tangs were expensive lol

For that much money..it better feed itself, clean itself, and do water changes for me!! Oh yea...also have lots of babies so I can quadruple my investment!! Hahahahaa!!

I love the basslet as well. While the money is obviously crazy, is it any more crazy than paying $1,000 for an eye of a coral? At least these fish are costly because they are in fact from deep water and are very expensive and difficult to collect.

:grouphug:


Very cool fish. I would love to see it in person. Maybe a trip to HoF is in order for the weekend, if it hasn't left the store by then.

Lol HOF probably paid about 2-3 grand for it and are selling it for 6 grand what a joke. It will probably die once it is taken out of the copper enriched water. Same thing happened to the 8000 neptune grouper that they killed and told everyone they donated it. Poor fish should stay in the ocean where they belong.

Well it's clear who doesn't like House of Fins here ... ... ... ... ... ...

Better yet, a picture of the person buying a 12k dollar fish

From what I've read... the person that bought it, makes more that, A DAY! ... :scratchch at that rate, if someone only makes $1000 a week, what does a $200 fish purchase make them?

Wow

Shameful stuff, anyway I was about to post a picture of a giant white gold and diamond clownfish pendant but I can't find it in google pictures anymore and this thread just took a turn for the worst.

Sorry, was obviously a bad joke. Deleted. My apologies...

 

[Alfredo De La Fe]

If I ever had the money I would LOVE to buy a pair of leafy sea dragons. Now that is a fish that is interesting enough to justify they kind of money they cost. But alas, I have resigned myself to the fact that I will never have that kind of money.

If that fish was $22.99 I wouldn't buy it. I think a coral beauty is a better looking fish.
If my wife came home with that fish as a suprise and told me she paid $25 from HOF I would thank her and take it back the next day for a partial credit.Boooooring.......

The main reason it costs so much is, as Randy stated, that it's taken from a great depth. The diver who gets that kind of fish put itself in danger so he can ask whatever someone is willing to pay to get it and I understand that. Is it worth it? Probably not but so are not ridiculously priced meals at some restaurants... And if someone can afford paying that much for a 2" fish he has to be a

rather than a

Someone that has that much money that they can spend "that much money" on a fish obviously has "that much money" LOL It isn't consequential to them. It's like the average person spending $5 on a damsel. Let them have their fun LOL

 

[Og Drogon]

Hey if I'm going to pay that much for a fish! I rather spend it on trying to catch it my self then I'll feel more happy when it's in my aquarium

I'm just saying!

It makes sense. My friend works for a guy that has about $25M in his garage (about 9 cars) and he does not have a reef tank.. LOL

 

[kool-cat]

WELL...since you asked... :scratchch when the fish doubles in size, can you frag it, and 'recoup' your investment? ... What secrets are Pratt U. hiding from us?

lol

 

[reefmaniac]

here's a 20,000 dollar fish.http://glassbox-design.com/2009/a-trek-to-see-paracentropyge-boylei-the-peppermint-angelfish/

 

[lanacane214]

this one is over 20,000

 

[reefmaniac]

I don't think it is reef safe lol. Soon that will be a 100,000 dollar fish the way they are headed.
