I've seen more expensive ones...and there are some Carp that are sold for $30,000 or more :)

 

[Eric Noa]

Damn!!!!!! What do u mean Carp? Carpet anemones?

 

[wontonflip]

LOL no, I mean the large freshwater variety :) The ones that usually live in ponds.

 

[Eric Noa]

Ohhhh... lol

 

[wontonflip]

And I even watched a documentary where this guy took one of his prized carp to THE VET cuz it was sick.

Wow! If I had the money to spend... All I'm saying is that is one beautiful fish!

This thread pops up every time a gem tang is up for sale in the Diver's Den! That and the whatever angel that is expensive. Starts with a "c" I think.

 

[yote]

I thought you had a couple of those Gem tangs Biff? :wink:

 

[MEANDMYFISHTANKS]

What makes it so costly just the protected area its from

 

[garydm]

I wonder if you can insure that thing incase of a f up on my part and it dies

 

[PufferGuy]

it's just a rare fish to come by, so when they do catch one... it ends up being sold for 3k.

 

[dcantucson]

Crazy! I could NEVER spend that kind of money on a fish even if I had it! I would worry myself sick that something was going to happen to it that I couldn't even enjoy it.

 

[Reefrookie]

+1 dcan, I would be up all night fish sitting :helm2:

Yeah, I used to have 6 of them in my 12 gallon BioCube, but they kept fighting. It seems like every other day, one would end up beaten to death on the bottom, and you know, it just gets too expensive to keep replacing them!

I wonder if homeowner's or renter's insurance would cover it... That fish would be the most expensive thing in my home anyways!

I don't think flooding insurance would apply though, they would say its a fish so it can swim and wouldn't be affected by the flood.

The Resplendent Angel is around $1,600 I think.

The Resplendent Angel is around $1,600 I think.
