  1. I think possibly it would be Koi .
    Not sure on an approximate price but I know they are expensive , I am sure you can find pricing on line.

  2. Probably a koi with good breeding or an adult arowana $850 and up just for 5″-6″ inches! They grow to about 3′!

  3. saw a catfish go for 60 dollars in a pet store in kent.

  4. Large koi(around £1200) for coldwater or Discus for tropical (sometimes over £100, usually between £40 and £80)
    Freshwater stingrays can be £300 and aowanas are expensive too

  5. Probably the most expensive group of fish would be freshwater stingrays. I’ve seen some for $250 and they are probably much more. This is for most normal stores. For example in japan, some koi could be sold for $3000.

  6. Koi. they can cost anywhere from the cheap end of 50$ all the way up to a whopping 100,000$. im not kidding. its retarded. but, they can live to be like 220 yrs old, so its basically a living family heirloom LOL

  7. snow or platinum arowana, seen them go for several hundred thousand dollars

  8. True Zebra Pleco very rare you could demand whatever they are willing to pay! I’m assuming you are asking about exotic fish and not koi, some koi have gone for upwards of 500,000k though and on the black market more.

  9. there was this metre long arowana at my lfs for $700 it was massive
    giant gouramis were expensive to i think like $400
    basically if its big or colourful its expensive lol
    discus’ are usually expensive too
