    I also seen them in the wold whilst scuba diving in Sharm… Imagine how much I could have made if I would have caught them and brought them back!!

    I saw some species of shark (don’t remember what type) for sale at a pet store for over $2000 CDN. She was about 5 feet long.

    I’ve seen koi going well over £5000 and to me they didn’t look any different but my mate who was with me was nearly having an ****** just looking at them
    I think the most I’ve paid is only peanuts in comparison to that, I did spend £1000 on a group of zebra plecs for breeding.
    Then ended up getting my money back cos it turned out this wonderful supplier was talking sh!te and couldn’t supply them.
    I have paid around £100 for top quality adult discus before

    for two Midorigoi ( I don’t even want to tell you what I paid)

    and one female Ogongoi about 5 years old She was roughly $4,300

    I have seen Koi going in excess of $100K US at the shows I attend. (This is not uncommon for certain breeders of show quality koi)

    In one of the local fish stores various moray’s going for $500 and up
    The same store had a Black Pacu around 27″ in a hugh display case. He was going for $2500

    The most expensive fish I’ve bought was a young Frontosa. It was $20.00. (I believe that’s about 40 pounds.) The most expensive I have seen was a Clown Triggerfish that was $160.00.
