HOW MUCH WOULD YOU PAY FOR A FISH

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
just got back into the hobby 1st real purchase was $800 and i wasn't expecting that at all lol...i would say up to a couple thousand as that what i have to throw around at a really amazing offer.
 
Most I would pay would probably be $30

reason 1. don't have much money

reason 2. pay $XXX.XX for a fish that could die just days after buying it

reason 3. of course some fish are more exotic and get bigger than others.....but they still are just fish and I don't think $1000 for any fish makes much sense (personally speaking)
 
i'd probably pay up to $150. most fish that i like can be bought for a smaller price than that.
 
Can't say how much I WOULD spend, but I'll list prices for what i DID spend on fish since March of this year when I changed the tank setup/stock.

6 common silver dollars @ $5 each = $30
5 red hook silver dollars @ $12 each = $60
4 fancy plecos: $130
-1 L-14 @ $30
-1 L-114 @ $25
-1 L-264 @ $40
-1 L-326 @ $35
2 Electric Blue Jack Dempseys @ 42.50 each = $85
3 seperate shipping charges of $16 = $48

= $353 on fish alone.

I'm happy with the current stock, so supplies will be my only expense for awhile.
 
freshwater no more than 100$ and that would ahve to be something I absolutely had to have.

saltwater, 1000$ if I had the money.
 
All the depends on the fish and my wallet at the time. Probably willing to spend more than I can afford...
 
it depends on the financial situation, if I had a lot of money, I'd drop big money, but right now I'd be surprised if I drop $50 on a fish
