1.)tigrinus
2.)gulper catfish - and #1 not seen often so not bad imo
3.)price kio - agreed
4.)big dats - slow growers so big one's are hard to come by
5.)african tigerfish
6.)leopoldi rays
7.)most aros
8.)Red tail catfish - imo should be expensive to ward off potential ignorant buyers same with 5,6,7
9.)at my lfs BRISTLE NOSE PLECOS - around here they seem to vary from $3.99 to like $25
10.)most bichers - usually decently priced in my area

thats just my top 10 overprice Fresh water fish(off the top of my head

1.) those hybrid parrot fish
2.) $13.99 and up oscars (seen fairly frequently at those high prices)
3.) bettas
4.) nearly all rainbow fish especially at aquarium adventure columbus like $35 each. rediculous
5.) all chain stores "big cichlids" of any species especially dempseys, gt's
6.) medium angel fish - honestly seen as high as $30
7.) all common fish above $15 - such as mixed africans, common plecos
8.) most synos - add in that they usually come in under 1"
9.) discus
10.) roseline sharks
 
i'll add jaguar cats because i've always wanted one and i'll admit they're fairly hard to come by. but $50 for a fish that hides 95% of the time is way too much imo
 
flowerhorns IMO i know a couple LFS that sell them for like $150 + Not sure why maybe a cross breed or something but i think those fish are ugly lol sorry if i offened flowerhorn lovers but tell me why they are so expensive
