It sounds like the more you pay for a fish the quicker it dies. I would be willing to pay $200 for a fish/coral. However, I have always found what I wanted for less than $125.

Up till now, the most I have spent:

Torch Coral: $60
Fish: Singapore Angel: $70.

The most I would spend:
Coral: $100
Fish: $175-200

The real kicker, is that I have spent more money on damn LR than anything else...

You spent $250 on a Queen angel How big was it when you bought it? I spent $50 on my Queen angel and she's about six inches, still juvi colours, but still $250 I guess I got one heck of a deal!

I haven't spent more then $60 for a fish, my 6" regal tang and my emperor angel. The most I've spent on a coral was $50 for my pink hammer coral.

If it was a fish that is fairly rare and I really wanted it, I guess I might go up to $200.
