whats the most expensive fish in the world?

[im just being me]

how much does it cost

[Niebling]

I think it is the fish that they make Fugu out of in Japan...

It contains tetrodotoxin in certain parts of the fish and is very expensive to prepare.

A dish of fugu can cost easily ¥5,000 (approx. US$50) but it can be found for as little as ¥2,000 (approx. US$20), and a full course fugu meal can cost between ¥10,000 and ¥20,000 (approx. US$100 to US$200) or more. Due to the expense of fugu, the fish is sliced very carefully to obtain the largest possible amount of meat without the poison. A special knife called fugu hiki is traditionally used to slice fugu and it is usually stored carefully in a separate location from other knives.

An Arawana fish is usually very expensive

i think it is a shark or whale

Pete Waterman (the music genius) apparently bought a Koi Carp a number of years back for his collection, and it died a few days later.
I'm going to be wrong with this initial guess, but I believe he paid about £600 000 for it.

you couldn't just do a search of this? there's like 1,000,000 different ones about this same question...


i think its a grouper that sold in china for aboout 540,000 US
but snow/platinum arowana and ultra-high quality show koi often reach several hundred thousand as well.

the most expensive fish that can be kept in a 'reasonable' tank would probably be either the aros (depending on your idea od reasonable) or a sea dragon, which you need a special permit to own and will set you back about 20,000US


edit-
i just did a search on "the most expensive fish" and it came up with 817 results, pick one.
