Default The Cost of Fish

What is the most you've ever paid to purchase a single (one) fish (if special ordered, included freight/ shipping charges)?

And sorry, can only choose one currency

The most I have paid for a single fish is $ 4.88 per puffer. They were my first fish other then a poor betta I'm ashamed to admit we had no clue how to care for and like idiots bought into the vase thing (before internet days). I thought the fish hobby was going to be cheap boy was I wrong.

I have paid up to $6.00, however the Bosomani rainbow fish that was given to my boy is a specie that usually go for $10.00 or more.

Wow, No wonder they caught my eye. I have always had expensive taste.

six dollars for a dwarf gourami. I will never buy a dwart gourami again. I find them very eye appealing but the risk of disease and illness that comes along with them is not worth it. By worth it, I do not mean six dollars, I mean risking the fish I already have.
