The worlds most expensive fish

The worlds most expensive fish is the pearl arowana. It cost 2.7 million Dollars:amazed:. Would any of you guys and Gals buy this fish?

 

Never in a million years... imagine you just do one thing wrong? Dead fish - money down the drain for a mere colour variant.

 

Imagine this post: My 2.7 million dollar arowana has ick pls help

 

Hahaha. My Dad said he will print me a picture of one and put it in a glass box

 

pic of the fish?

 

No where near... 8 years ago a bloodline Dainichi Kohaku Female koi was sold for close on 2billion $ by Shinoda san to an undisclosed European buyer.... Most expensive fish in SA - Paul Skelton's Jumbo Kohaku female of R450 000 - winner of 2 Grand Championships at the National Koi show.... And people complain about paying R6 for a Neon tera....Pfft....lol

 

Yeah but will a neon win 2 grand championships.

 

@Vis it might is it was as big as a Koi... Just think a few years back kip was used as sushi!!!

 

lmao

While we're on this topic, what's the most you've ever paid for a fish? I think the most I've paid a little over R600 for a decent sized shovelnose catfish.

 

Most I've paid is R100 for a Sturisoma Aureum Whiptail. Kinda struggle to justify more than R100 for a single fish?

lol - R4500 for a 20cm long Takeda san Hi Showa....Money very well spent!

 

LOL - R89 for a VERY pretty baby Oscar. It seemed like a lot but they were pretty. @Big G - I agree with the R100 limit

 

Hehe! Ja, look, I would consider certain species if a bit over R100, but it'd have to be something very special!

G!

 

Yeah - that little Showa was something special....

 

Hehe, it may have been special, but R4500?? My wife would have disconogerated me if I spent that!!

I'm not condemning anyone who spends lots of money on a single fish by the way, just that I personally struggle to justify that much money myself. But then, I don't have 'lots of money' spare to do such with, so maybe thats why? If I was super rich, maybe things would be different? Thats probably the reason why I'm not super rich though?

Well said! if you have R1000 left over to spend a month, will you buy a R900 fish?? hehe nope, but if you had R10,000 left over to spend, you will! haha

 

lol - was a while back when I still hadmoney...lol - you get sick and tired of just selling beautifull koi - sometimes you just say aah,bugger the budget when presented with a fish of the quality that she was... Did sell her for R12k 3 years later though....Money well spent?

Koi is one thing - on Tropicals,i wont spend much more than R250 for a fish....

 

Hehe! Now, to make R7.5k (minus about R20k worth of food you probably had to feed over the 3 years) then yes, that would make it worthwhile! I'm in the unfortunate place where even if I got a fish worth R12K for R3k, I'd some how only manage to pull back R2.5k at best! Guess I'm just 'unlucky with the horses' so to speak?

As for having money left over, I'd settle for having the R1k 'spare' each month thanks! Hehe!

Anyhows... Back to thread topic....
