I believe most of us realize that buying any of the 'big' birds, such as parrots, is expensive. For example, a Hyacinth Macaw will run you $6,500-10,000. A little bit out of the range of most people. They ARE beautiful creatures, for sure.
While the macaw is very expensive to buy, I think pound for pound, some saltwater fish are more expensive. And I bet most people don't even realize just HOW expensive they are. Are any of these on YOUR Christmas list? (All pictures and prices are from LiveAquaria.com)
Red Tooth Triggerfish
This bad boy can be had for the price of $199.99
Giant Cream and Pink Wartskin Angler
This one is $299.99, on sale for $249.99.
Australian Blue Devil
This fish can be had for the low, low cost of $329.99--on sale from the regular cost of $399.99.
Deepwater Tongan Goldenback Triggerfish
This specimen lists at $1199.99 at LiveAquaria.com, but you can get it on sale for only $729.99
Japanese Dragon Eel
The dragon eel is priced at $999.99.
Do the people who buy these have to find ways to spend their money, or what? I LOVE watching fish in an aquarium and have had an aquarium of my own in the past, but at THESE prices?!?! Unbelievable!
You Paid WHAT???
