What fish have you KNOWINGLY overpaid just because you wanted it??

[888fish]

Oddball 6" Clown Loach with a black spot and both sides. Great eater, obese, thick and tall .......hopefully will look like "Marge" one day!

Paid $120 last year! My favorite fish, never regretted it!

$75 for a 4-4.5" clown loach with a small spot on one side. I just had to have another spotted clown loach after losing both my previous spotted loaches.

$20 4in albino heavily red tiger oscar. Great personality put on a couple inches in a couple months moved to the tank with the big guys and killed after a month by my wild 'rio caquieta' oscar pair.

Arn't most things overpriced? Livebearers should always be 'on sale.' They breed like mad men, almost makes $3-5 per fish totally insane.

you mean normal men that finally get what they want.

WOW! Glad I live in the states man. That is rough! Mine was $100 for a mated pair of dovii. Male was 12" female 5". Wouldn't be too bad except they killed $200 worth of other fish in a week. My fault for thinking they might allow tankmates though...

Agreed. If it weren't for our drive, there would be no children. It still creeps me out that women think it's dirty to want to do the thing we were meant to do. I mean, is a gear busted up there, ma'am? Are we just supposed to go extinct and never have fun? Thankfully, female livebearers can't use the 'shampoo-ing my hair' excuse.

Small betta-10$

Any betta worth owning these days costs that. It spiked three years ago when ultra fancy bettas flooded the market and pet stores priced in the middle to break even. So now you have to get a $3.99 betta for $10.00, but you also get a $25.00 betta for that same $10.00. Just gotta know how to pick 'em.
