In the scheme of things thats not even expensive in the pet industry.
Rare Arowanas will go for way more, certain species of parrots cost way more. Pedigreed show dogs can go for more than that. People that want the rare, different or collectible will always be willing to pay the price. |

If there wasn't a market they wouldn't be bringing the supper expensive fish in.

I think the last time I heard of someone spending this kind of money on something the size of a thumb drive was, well, when they bought a thumb drive way back in the day ... and it was probably only 256k |

Not to mention most species are on the cites list to various degrees so you need import permits, export permits, vet checks before and after entering the country, QT for 30 days etc, etc. Costs certainly add up when all is said and done. |

Most expensive fish I have ever seen was a fresh water fish from the Amazon I can’t remember the name of it but I definitely remember the price tag it was bought for $8900
Personally I can’t see spending more than a hundred bucks on a fish but each to their own

I've got no problem with some fish being worth $3500. I've seen some angels in that price range. Out of my budget but some fish are expensive for a variety of reasons. My issue with this is its way way way above retail cost. Even before the recent gem tang price drop the rare times I saw them in Lfs they were $2200-2500. Granted if you can afford 2500 you can afford 3500 when it comes to expensive fish but this just seems like gouging. |
