Depends on the amount of expendable money someone has. I'm sure there are people (some spouses) who think the same about any money we spend on our hobby.
Our most expensive fish was $400(that was years ago--not sure if my wallet is tighter now or not in regards to fish---time will tell) but if I wanted it bad enough... Depends on what it is and what purpose it serves for myself(and 'him' too). Unlike most of the people we know into the hobby we both enjoy it, saves us on the "are you crazy factor"... but also causes in tank wars as to what should go in or not and how.
It is most certainly a gorgeous fish, not the most expensive, not the cheapest, but definitely gorgeous. :fish:
I saw one a few weeks ago down at CC, actually they had 3-4 of them. And they were nothing special. I think a Queen angel is nicer :shocked1: ! And one of the ones they had there was not well? I can not figure out why anyone would pay $4k for one?
