Well its late and I found this link. And it's not even a saltwater fish. This is just insane.

This just topped a Hummer as the most rediculous amount of thing to pay that much money for.

I really truly can see a few grand if its a very rare and prized fish and you can guarantee you have the best husbandry in the world but.. holy gosh darn geez yikes I could buy a LOT MORE with that much money.

And people were dissing me for paying $250 for a clownfish.

he turned down 80,000. He had it on the market for over 300,000.
I would have took the 80 and ran. Where can I catch one. :uzi:
I love the part where they talk about cosmetic surgery. FOR A FISH. That fish would fit in in Hollywood.

If i had an $80,000 fish, he would have his own nanny and nurse.

Just think, someone in South America probably ate one of these last night and doesn't even know he could have bought half of Columbia with it lol.

I think I nee to go freshwater and find a couple of these to breed. Someone slap that guy for turning down $80000 for that fish...the nerve of some people.

You realize the difference between this white Arowana and a silver Arowana is only $79,961.00? I have had 3 silver arowanas, and from my experience, they should be renamed silver surfers, due to thier nack for finding the smallest hole in the tank top and going carpet surfing. Just imagine coming home from work to find an $80,000 fish dried up and stiff in the carpet. That would be a special day.

yeah this kinda reminds me of the joke where this guy had a $50,000 dollar dog. He traded it for two $25,000 dollar cats... LOL

Well you know Tuna sell for up to 75000 in Japan, and thats to EAT THEM, thats not even to keep them.

 

[LauraCline]

beauty must be in the eye of the beholder because I wouldn't give you $.08 for the ugly sucker, lol.

LoL the ones that go for that kind of money are live when they are sold and everything from size, weight, and otherwise visual appearances go into it with the japanesse when they are looking for some tuna to eat lol.

[cschweitzer]

I'd definitely give $.08 for the fish...then I would accept the offer of $80,000.

I think someone was on something if they turned $80,000 for a "fish."
