The Most Expensive Fish

[krichardson]

I was enjoying some of the photos in a current arowana thread and the discussion turned to pricing which got me thinking about the top echelon fish that demand the highest price tags.
It seems to me that koi are king and then there are the Asian arowana variants.Which would you say is the most expensive aquarium fish or which high dollar fish have you heard of?

There are lots of ultra expensive salty fish - but I did heard of a flowerhorn selling for 600,000 in 2009.

I think there was a bluefin tuna that sold for almost 2 million, but that isn't exactly to keep.

Before this thread, a $2,500 Blue eyed Pleco was it for me

Annoying video but thanks for sharing anyhow..I did get a laugh at the prices of the "freshwater polka dot stingray" and the platinum arowana.
