Thats nothing. There are several people here with $1000+ fish. Especially the higher quality Asian Arowanas.
But paying more isn't required. Fish keeping means different things to different people.
I'm glad you moved your other fish out of the Pacu tank. But I would also mention those Pacu's are going to be as big as that tank, EACH, when they grow. I hope you can provide them a more suitable home in the future.
