Crazy Fish in Japan

[FSM]

its called the Yen, not the dollar. and yes, high grade crystal red shrimp can go for almost $1k

8.8 million yen = $95k

I believe the member amato has taken several pictures of this place. looks like there is easily over a million dollars worth of fish in that store.

Dude, in reality, your math really sucks: 88,000 yen = 10 dollars???

BTW, the current exchange rate is not 1:100.

Here's a practice question for you: if 1 yen equals 1 cent, then how many dollars is 10,000 yen?

Tune in later for the solution...

No. You idiot. The guy said that the shrimp was 955 yen. Since, according to you, 1 yen = 1 cent, then the shrimp would be about $10.

And, if 1 yen = 1 cent, then 10,000 yen = $100. Don't tell me my math sucks.

You are so dumb...read the first post ... 88,000 YEN ... a hair under $1k as of this morning. While your math skills may be in tact, your reading abilities rival that of an embryo

Personally, I'm not a fan platinum variants, especially if they are of a common species, like rtc, gars, barramundi.

I can't justify spending money like that just because of the color, or lack of.

Essentially, they are common fish that sell for $30 or less in their normal coloration, so I wouldn't keep it in my tank or waste the money to buy them.

But I understand how others may want something like this, but it's just not for me.

Same goes for short body, deformed stuff as well...yuck!

I agree and I dont get their fascination with albino looking fish with fancy names but if they can get someone to fork over copious sums of cash for them,then more power to em.

lol no need to be so harsh.

yes 1USD as of today is 92YEN, it usually hovers around 1:100. so right now 1 shrimp=~$950

Can you post the name of the store? Please...

Hey genious, the post you are referring says 955 bucks, not 955 yen.

bucks = USD not yen

Try to get your sh*&t right before you shoot your mouth off
