yeah th erarer the fish the more it cost. like the arowanas which go for around that price for a red one all have a micro chip in them. they get more expensive lik ethe snow arowana (albino silver) which went for around 60-100 grand easy
Why $5000 for a fish?

I don't understand the fuss. Fish have certainly sold for more money, so this is nothing new. I see this particular argument as something like this...You can be one of many that have a normal tropical gar, or you can be one of 10-15 with a white tropical gar. I know I would be satisfied knowing I was one of so few. Personally, gars are not my forte. Had it been an Arowana or equal valor, I would be all over it like a hobo on a ham sandwich.
I also like where Jed is headed with his options, except mine would go like this.
A) the fish is entirely too expensive and you'll never afford it
B) the fish is very expensive but you can make sacrifices to own it
C) the fish is expensive and I don't want to drop that kind of money
Which one are you? I'm B, because if I want something I'll do what it takes to get it. I remember as a kid I wanted a TSN so unbelievably bad. Rather than beg my parents for the money, I took it upon myself to rake leaves for a couple dollars. After a few weeks I bought the fish only to have it outgrow my tank a few months later. The moral remains. If you want something bad enough, you'll find a way to get it.

That depends.................If your $$$$$loaded$$$$ beyond rich..............and have no bills and or worries per say..............then who cares if you spend 5 k on a fish!!!!!................just like people that buy 250k super cars...........3 mpg and rediculous insurance rates are probably the last thing on their minds!!!!!
p.s. I personally would never pay that much for a fish..........the most i have ever paid for a fish was 70$ and thet hurt!!!!!!!
of course... nothing is more important than family and health.. everything else are equal...dovii88;806775;806775 said:
