Heck, most people think I'm nuts for spending $200 on a fish or $100 on a coral. I'm one of those people.

I’ve done that.Heck, most people think I'm nuts for spending $200 on a fish or $100 on a coral. I'm one of those people.
I’d buy a bigger tank....much bigger....around 300 gallons
None for my current small tank. Post upgrade, in that range maybe a narcosis, CB Conspic or Clarion. If GP ever fell to that price I'd be down to scoop that up too.

Pretty tough to keep a 5 foot, 150lb. shark in your house. Not that it cannot be done but it's just not practical.
Agreed. One would probably need to create an outside room on their property that was dedicated for the entire tank/setup. Then again when you are talking about being able to drop $6K on a single fish it stands to reason you have the resources to keep sharks if you want.
Well, yes and no about the reasoning of a person who can spend $6,000 on a single fish would have resources to keep sharks. There are many reefers that could spend $6,000 on a fish. However, having the space and deep pockets to house a pair of black tip sharks is a different beast. One would need a tank of 20,000 gallons, at least. Sharks are highly sensitive to water quality and very regular water changes would be needed. Obviously, at 20,000 gallons one would be looking at a minimum of 2,000 gallon changes each week. That's not to mention the cost of filtration equipment and cost to operate such equipment. All in all, owning 1 or 2 black tip sharks would require deep pockets... very deep pockets. ;Greedy;Greedy;Greedy
But but.... i mean just look at this fish...
Sure for $5000 it will also eat my entire coral investment. But it looks like its wearing armor [emoji23]
I have to agree with you... that is an ugly fish, but the beauty is in the eye of the beholder. I just hope he isn't "Color Blind"! LOLThis was for an silver ar
That is one ugly fish.
That is a beautiful fish but not 30k pretty. Unless they are practically extinct.. maybe then could one understand such a price gougeI have to agree with you... that is an ugly fish, but the beauty is in the eye of the beholder. I just hope he isn't "Color Blind"! LOL
If I'm going to spend that kind of money, I would be saving my money for a Peppermint Angelfish. $30K nice little down payment on anything.

Yea ibwould never be able to afford something like this unless something wild happens. BUT, if I could I totally would. You spend what you can on this hobby and nothing more... most of the time. Most I've ever spent on a fish was 100 bucks. That was for a bonded pair of flame hawkfish and i got a 50 dollar discount, originally 150. I had to tho, it was my dream buy I had always wanted a pair so I pulled the trigger without a second thought.. as they are relatively hard to come by and completely sick.I feel like the people who can afford to spend over $6k on a fish are the people who are making $500k+ a year. If I won the lottery then it might be an option but being realistic theres no way I would ever pay this much. My most expensive fish is a purple tang and that runs $150-200 and I feel like even that is super expensive. I hate when I go to my lfs and see a nice frag and I see the price at $80. I grow chaeto so I get roughly $30 every 2 weeks and I just spend that money on frags and its always a cheap looking frag because the "pretty" looking frags run super high especially when getting into sps or rare zoas.
