^ Understandable, but yeah, i've read a few stories here and there about people being offered expensive fish that are illegal to keep in their country / area behind closed doors so made sense to me...
What's the most expensive fish at your LFS?

- Start date
LOL....fishscale.
Yeah but I don't get why he couldn't just go on and say it...He was merely referring to something that he observed in a shop.If mentioning it worried him that much then he might as well not even have brought it up.
^I guess only he can answer that question...
But back to OP's question though, i am thinking pound for pound, or miligram for miligram, some types of freshwater shrimp species i've seen in the past have gone for a few K usd a piece... Mainly very high quality CRS and King Kongs when they were really popular...

Now that is news to me as I've never heard of any shrimp going for anywhere near that kind of money.I'll have to research and see what they look like.
They are basically your normal CRS patterns, but the colors on them are so solid it makes them look like plastic, even a strong torches light wont penetrate...
Its mainly an asian thing though, with mainly Japan, Taiwan, Hong Kong commanding those prices... Now a days they are rarely that expensive... Although still easily a few hundred USD for super top notch shrimp...

All my LFS most expensive price tags around $700 for some Ray and $300 for full size Kelberri Bass. This is an article i found while browsing:
$80,000 Arowana Aquarium Fish
Arowana command a high price with some even being "tagged" with an ID chip to prove authenticity. I've seen arowana being sold for a few thousand to even to the price of a small car. But this one is the most expensive fish I have ever seen....and being a fish lover, it's worth every penny...that i don't have.
One of the most photographed fish at Aquarama 2007 is also one of the show's most expensive - a platinum arowana with a mortgage-inducing price tag. The fish is an Osteoglossum species from South America, rather than the usual Scleropages from Asia, and is owned by Singapore-based Dragon fish breeder Aro Dynasty.
Unlike most Osteoglossum, this mutant is virtually white with virtually no other colours present, not even on the dorsal surface.It was recently offered for sale to prospective buyers by a UK arowana importer for more than £200,000.However, Aro Dynasty told Practical Fishkeeping Online that the fish is no longer on the market. It confirmed that it turned down S$80,000/£26,376 for the fish a few years ago.

Boy would I love to have some fool happen along and offer me eighty grand for my colorless fish.
I'm not sure.
Whenever I go to my LFS, it's only to buy food or supplies. When I go look at the fish, I feel bad for them and want to take them all home with me.
LOL...I'm such a girl.
oh I guess I am a girly man ...... Haha
