Most expensive fish I ever had was a Inimicus didactylus. "Demon Stinger", Spiny Devilfish or Bearded Ghoul are the most popular nicknames for this fish, related to the stone fish. Paid around $250. It was beautiful, well - he too had a face only a mother can love, but damn. I loved that fish so much.
I love these videos. They have helped me put my saltwater tank together. I wasn't the smartest by starting at 150 gallons, but can you give some videos on this size tank (not nano) on the fish that would go well together.
Thank you for all of the treasures of knowledge you've put up for me to absorb, without you I would have wasted so much precious time. Future fish keeping super star right here. You have been my salt water sensei!
You forgot the peppermint angel, there’s one for display at the Waikiki aquarium. The price for one usually cost $30,000. There are thousands of fish that are in this world that cost more than the fish in this list. Great vid btw
My most expensive fish was a red dragon flowerhorn which I paid 40 bucks for. My most expensive salt is my green mandarin dragonet which I paid 20 bucks for.
Awsome looking fish. Been in the hobby about 2 years, glad I found you andnyour videos. I've learned alot. My most expensive fish 8s my sailfin tang at $45. So nothing to expensive yet.
Thanks for the vid. Interesting. Always loved the long nose tang, such a great contrast to most reef tank inhabitants. May I add the Clarion Angelfish? That's a special import of between 5k and upwards of 8k. Ultramarine had a featured tank about 4years ago and the fella had sourced one via a specialist importer for £4750 after being quoted £8000 elsewhere.
Great video Jeff. Glad my fish made the top ten. I purchased a long nosed black tang from my LFS for $500 they were asking $750 for it. It is in my QT right now doing well. 👍you're right, some of these top ten fish can be quite expensive.
Is there an actual difference between a reg Dogface Puffer and a Yellow one? In most of my research I’ve been told they are the exact same just diff colors and each shop said when they ordered a dogface it could come in white, grey, yellow, or even blue sometimes? I am in the process of setting up a 120g (4x2x2) tank currently and a dogface is going to be the centerpiece to that tank. It’s also going to be my first step into the salt world (I’ve had multiple fresh tanks for over twenty years tho). In Most of my research I also found for the dogface to reach around only 12inches which would make this tank ok for it, but if the yellow does indeed get up to 18inch then I Def don’t want to cram it into a 24inch deep tank ect
im new to the hobby only had a tank for 7 months koi fairy wrasse was mine! £45 here jumped out the tank a few days ago forgot to put the lid on :( absolutely gutted! but great video man!!! love your videos!!!
Starting up my 180 gallon tank to a marine fish tank ... would like to have some angles and other large fish so that I can see them. Anything you can suggest would help.
The most expensive fish I've bought was a black ice clown for $65. I think number one should have been the (centropyge interruptus) Japanese interrupter pygmy angel 😄 I've never seen one in person but the pictures of them are amazing! They are usually priced around $1300 and up though. There was a woman in Hawaii who started a GoFundMe to get a female so she could captive breed her male it was called "get a girlfriend for Fabio" I never heard if she was successful at breeding them though.
Most expensive fish I've ever caught (wild-collected) was a Pinnatus Batfish, an Emperor Angelfish (juvenile), a Scribbled Angelfish, a Volitan Lionfish (also other types of lionfish) and a Moorish Idol, as far as I can remember. I've never actually netted but have hand fed a Flathead perch and a juvenile Queen Angelfish. Meaning I'm confident that I most likely could have netted them if I'd wanted to. The most expensive fish I've ever paid money for was a Powder Blue Tang. Thumbs up on your vid.
Great clip I only have nano tanks so they are way outside my tank size . No expensive nano saltwater fish ? For me I bought some Black clowns 49.99 Ea from my LF store I think they gave me a break since I bought so so I got 2 for 80 bucks.
Jeff, thank you so much. Just posted a picture today to my local Facebook reef keeping group about my new plans for a new sump. I wish you could give me your opinion
My most expensive fish was a purple tang @ $124.00 but it never made out of quarantine. Not a road I’m willing to spend again anytime soon. Great Topic.
And here fishermen just throw copperbands away like they're trash lol. You can literally get a free copperband from them after every netting by the shore.
New subscriber. Nice video. The H. tusk is one of my favorite fish in the hobby. It's the only fish I have in your top 10. I'll be checking out the rest of your videos now.
What about Conspicuous, Personifer, Peppermint, Scribbled, and Clarion Angels? Candy Basslets? Gem Tang? The most I've paid is $300 for a perfect Purple Tang. I couldn't imagine having disposable income to spend 5 or 6 figures on a fish...
I got one 4 inch Achilles Tang for $35 at a pet store that use to be in my area in 1983. The most expensive fish I got was at the same store a 5 inch Hippo Tang for $45 in 1984.
Haha, for now Gobby and Blenny was 20$ couple years ago, recently i move from 30 to 105g tank next for buy is skimmer and after that fish. My wish for next fish is Sailfin Tang or if i have money Purple Tang

Oh yeah - affordable LED refugium lighting would be AMAZING. I'd also love to know of any cheap options for quarantine tank for coral
Good vid!

I would like to have a Dogface Puffer but I have a wave maker in the tank, and I was told they bite cables, is this true
Jeff the king of top 10's! Most expensive fish I have bought is a chevron tang. Keep up the great vids!
Hmm top 10 king, that may be a thing... Chevrons are a good looking tang for sure!
Mad Hatter's Reef It is a thing and you are it my friend...👊💪

You forgot the bandit angelfish! Some of those fish would cost double or triple down here in Australia. Keep up the great vids 👍
Thanks for the videos. My tank is just a 10 months old. Yellow Tang which is pretty common 50.00.
Starting up my 180 gallon tank to a marine fish tank ... would like to have some angles and other large fish so that I can see them. Anything you can suggest would help.
I’m not very well versed in the angle fish side of things still need to do some research.
Great Vid
Excellent video!! Now how about the top 10 least expensive fish for those on a budget?
Love the vids. Hope your channel blows up.
Loved this video. It's always fascinating to see the most expensive fish in the hobby.

They are usually priced around $1300 and up though. There was a woman in Hawaii who started a GoFundMe to get a female so she could captive breed her male it was called "get a girlfriend for Fabio" I never heard if she was successful at breeding them though.
Just checked and saw the price was $3999.99
Most expensive fish I've ever caught (wild-collected) was a Pinnatus Batfish, an Emperor Angelfish (juvenile), a Scribbled Angelfish, a Volitan Lionfish (also other types of lionfish) and a Moorish Idol, as far as I can remember.

Great video! Well this is sad but the most expensive fish I've got is a neon Dotty back I paid $30 for it but it is on of my favorite fish.
I am SO happy I finally made the leap to Salt Water!
Hey MAD HATTERs can u make a video on what’s the best salt mix
Awesome video and fish, but honestly I prefer the cheaper captive bred ones
I had an asfur angel that I bought for $85, but I've seen the price for them go anywhere from $100 to $400 for a juvenile!!
You got a great deal on that fish.
I got a £10 fish but wasn’t allowed an other because it was too expensive
Great clip I only have nano tanks so they are way outside my tank size . No expensive nano saltwater fish ? For me I bought some Black clowns 49.99 Ea from my LF store I think they gave me a break since I bought so so I got 2 for 80 bucks.
Great review! The most expensive fish I had was a powder blue tang., 60 bucks... had it for 3+ years, then my heater fucked up and it died.
Jeff, thank you so much. Just posted a picture today to my local Facebook reef keeping group about my new plans for a new sump. I wish you could give me your opinion
Most expensive fish out there is peppermint dwarf angel priced at $30000

That Goldflake Angel is pretty incredible!
New subscriber. Nice video. The H. tusk is one of my favorite fish in the hobby. It's the only fish I have in your top 10. I'll be checking out the rest of your videos now.
Can you do a video on stocking a smaller tank? Maybe say a 55 gallon with a 20 gallon sump with a current USA IC loop lighting system! Thanks
That would be a good topic🐠
