How Much Have You Paid For A Single Fish?

[Lynden]

gay? homosexual? I thought gay meant happy? I know that I wouldnt be happy if my 45$ fish kicked the bucket on day 2. LOL...that kid must ride on the short bus. Gay means happy...look it up kiddo.

Nowadays, the term "gay" is rarely, if ever, used to describe hapiness. But it is often used to say "stupid" or "lame" sometimes. "Gay", does not mean happy anymore. It did in the early 20th century.

To avoid the problem of losing 45 dollars on an animal that dies on the second day, just find a pet store with a garantee. My LFS has a 3 day garantee, and a pet store in a nearby town has a 30 day garantee. Its not a hard thing to do, people, and i have yet to visit a pet store which lacks a garantee in some way or another.

dude, to define "sarcasm" plz refer to my last post.

 

[Lynden]

Thats not sarcasm... sarcasm is usually short and a little humourous... So you would be happy if a 45$ fish croaked on the second day?

"Dude", do you know what the word "Dude" means? It is actually a blemish on a donkeys genitals.

Gist? Never heard of that.

Well, excuse me for being unable to stoop to your level. Moron.

I don't think I'll be spending more than $20 on a fish anytime soon for SW, I'm having great difficulty finding a good local place that warrenties them, which, since I'm a completely new to SW, and I'm working with a Nano, is important to me.
And to the 'gay' comment, I have to say that in no way should you be offended.
I know all my friends use it whent they're upset. I use it when I'm upset.
Like I said, you shouldn't be offended, because if you are, thats not going to stop people from using it. Its commen slang now, its hard to reverse.
I have a distant family member was gay (turned straight a couple years back) and she's not offended when me or my cousins use the word 'gay', because she understands its almost a reflex in kids now.

Oh im not offended, i use it as a slang alot myself, i must admit. My friends say it alot too. I dont think i have ever said (wrote, excuse me) it in a written document, though, and i use it far more often as reffering to a homosexual. For instance, a friend touches me on the back, i might say "Aaugh! Gayman! Get outta here!". I am not offended, i just like to argue

Getting this back on track, I paid $89 dollars for a matched pair, yashia haze and Randalli's banded pistol shrimp. There is only one other fish that....I would shakingly click on the 'complete your purchase' button, and that's a Swissguard basslet at $88.

To Ethos..if you can't get your fish warrantied, check into liveaquaria.com....they guarantee them for 14 days. SH

I paid $125 american for my stingray, but most of my fish have cost over $30 a piece.

32 bucks on my yellow tang, most purples run about 75 and im thinking about 1

 

[Navarre]

My final 3 Purple tangs arrive tomorrow along with my Emperor Angel.. As mentioned above, the purples run a very high price tag so collectively my shoal of 6 cost me a pretty penny

i paid out £35 for a australian wild perc clown and £35 for my 30" zebra moray.

in freshwater I paid £350 for my RTG arowana and £120 for my stingray.

My most expensive coral so far is £28 aswell.

 

[Lynden]

Wow Navarre, that is a pretty penny!

I think it was my bicolor angel, who got cryptocarrion and wasted away, that was the most expensive. He was around $60 canadian, however the LFS was having a 2-for-1 deal so i got him for $30.
