Im rather cheap at times an at other times I act like im rich. It ll depends on how much im making at the time. Although the most ive ever spent on One fish was 40.00 other than that all my fish were under 25.00 most under 10.00.

Oh me too , i hate growing out animals. I meant to say the fish i buy are more expensive than the tank sometimes..LOL..
Believe me, nothing turns me off than the word overpriced. I go overboard if its a tremendous deal or a not to be missed fish or both !
Fish that i have been looking for a while and couldnt find.. like med sized Leopoldis, Henleiis for example .. If i see those for sale at a reasonable price, i will still get it even if i was already over the budget. BTW, all this is classified info. If the wife gets this, heads will roll !

Thats cool.. i just build my collections, one at a time. A little hookup here, a bit of splurge there, some good detective work here and next thing you know, you have a decent collection of the fish you want.
i just buy the fish after research and stuf if i find a better price i will buy it alot of the times i just dont have the money for them so i stick to the fish i have. every now and then i buy new fish. but right now i really need to save up for a bigger tank or build one.
my process is kinda complex.
i use a program called 12dp, if you guys have heard of it before.
basically, i make a 50% profit of however much i "invest".
For Example: i "invest" $500, i have $250 to spend on fish stuff.
as long as i dont overspend my profit margin, i can keep doing this and thus my "unlimited budget"
and i also look for the cheapest places to buy. and whenver theres free shipping on something, i'll shop there (big als). also scavenge some stuff on Ebay, or used stuff from friends.
If anyone is interested in 12dp, send me a PM and i'll explain it.

all of the others cost very little or next to nothing
I like trades
Ive thought bout spending 100.00 on a Jardina Aro but not really sure yet.
I just bought a leichardti 14 inches, the most I've spent on a single fish. you know what though?.....worth every penny, no regrets at all. 
Im spending alot now cause Im getting back into the hobby,setting up tanks.I hunt for bargains always buy used tanks.Fish I like to buy as small as possible and watch them grow
