i think the most i ever spent on a coral was right around $50, most on a fish, i'd say no more than 35 or so. i'm a simple man with complex tastes, but i'm perfectly happy growing corals from tiny frags. tiny frags are usually pretty cheap, so if they thrive i can say i grew that from a single polyp, and if they die in my care i'm not out a whole lot.

$40 for a yellow rim tang and $80 for a bleeding apple scoly.

I opened this thinking getting married was the most expensive decision I made, but that's an indirect expense that eventually led to the purchases above.

Are you aware that these women spend up to a $100 or $140 for a hair dryer? I thought those things were only $20-25. And they don't even last as long as my tang does. I've been through two dryers... sorry to hijack, just pent up frustration.

Lol.. too much on one too many fish & coral, tanks etc... :hypnotyized:

it's kind of like playing texas hold'em, you can't look at it as money

You should see the price of some of the shampoos they buy.

Uh, yeah... when I was a teenager I spent a lot of money on hair products. But in my defense, it was the '80s and I was a bit of a metal head meets country boy, hence my camaro mullet.

$200 back around 2000? (It was when Alamo Aquatics was on West Avenue) on a 10" Christmas Island Imperator sad to say it did not make a week.

Less than my hubby spent on golf clubs...

[Kristy]

Only two occasions where we spent more than $50 on a fish and both are still with us and worth every penny! $85 for a female bellus angel that I had been wanting and wanting for ages and $100 on the biggest fattest blue hippo tang that I had ever seen.

There have been a couple of coral colonies in the $100 range but not lately and there have been very few of those occasions.

Mostly I try not to remember what stuff costs because that would take the enjoyment out of it for me.

$220 for a 75 head Aussie Rainbow Acan colony. 2 years later I still have it minus about 15 heads from a not so pleasant encounter with a GBTA.
