![]() $60 is my comfort range, but I'll go up around $150 if it's something I really want. At my age, I can't justify pouring too much money into the tank when I should be saving up for a mortgage down payment or something like that!!

![]() No livestock in any of my tanks cost me more than $100. I'd be willing to pay closer to $200 for something outstanding.

![]() I think there is only two expensive things in my tank, a metallic foxface and a blue xenia, everything else should be under 100.

![]() i never spent more than 80 on coral and 60 on fish to this point. yes i know 60 is expensive for caught true perks but i couldnt resist. as one is retarded and is a nemo as he only has one pelvic fin. wel there are two but they are connected.
not saying i havent blown 300 on ls in one stop but this is a question on 1 item is it not?

![]() It sounds like the more you pay for a fish the quicker it dies. I would be willing to pay $200 for a fish/coral. However, I have always found what I wanted for less than $125.
