The Koi pond I really understand. They can be a lot of work! I guess in Singapore the weather never changes year round, so weather is not an issue but still. I was playing with one of the KOi when I was there last and my dad came in and was like "you like him?...that guy is worth about $10 000..."

I immediately stopped petting it and watched from a bit farther away

I personally would never want to care for such expensive fish (although they never bought it for that much). Actually I wouldn't want to even own such expensive fish. It would be stressful for me!
