i don’t know if this has been done before but I’ve never seen it but I wanted to know what the most exspensive fish you have ever bought was. I’ve not been in the hobby long and I haven’t kept to many fish so the most exspensive fish I ever bought was a £30 synodontis angelicus. I’ve spent a lot more on fish in one go but never on a single fish. So I just wanted to know the most exspensive fish you ever bought was and the most you’ve ever spent on buying fish in one go.

Most expensive single fish?
$100 tsn x niger catfish from Tom Maguire Tom Maguire
Most expensive group fish?
$100 for 5 tiger silver dollars off live aquarias diversden.
I almost bought a $300 platinum senegal bichir 4-5 times now.
Also, where did you get a synodontis angelicus for that little? Lowest I've seen was like $100/£77.
 
Spent $1200 this past August on several fish. Unfortunately some didn’t make it.
 
300 for 2 Marbled Catshark's years back but thousands in other Marine fish and invertebrates.
Didn't you once keep sharks? I believe I remember reading something about that on the saltwater shark section.

Probably around $60 for a salt water fish.

That's the LEAST I've paid for a saltwater fish. For reference, I paid $120 USD for a yellow tang. A week later I saw a place in the US(One of the bigger marine fish suppliers, can't remember the name now) selling them for $2 each.

So, yeah, Yellow Tang for about $120usd, and they're pretty inexpensive as far as marine fixsh go. Or ornate bichir for about the same.
