best deal you ever got on a fish?

[hewhorunswithscissors]

seen a bunch of these "most expensive fish you ever bought" or " most expensive fish you ever killed" threads.

But what is the BEST DEAL you ever got on a fish?

Mine would have to the 7" Tigrinus I got for $50. NICE fish. Still have it and its growing fast.

Runner up is either my Geophagus "bahia reds" I got for $1.99 each at 3" or my recently purchased nearly 3ft long SA lungfish for $35... The Bahia reds were just a deal from LFS, but the Tigrinus and Lungfish we fellow hobbyists / sellers being extremely generous and nice to me because they are just good people.
