Top 10 Most Expensive Saltwater Fish

[@tirilhaug1991]

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.

[@carradine684]

Kratos is that you?

[@biamfromphrog6890]

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

[@SirJeppy]

Great video man!!!! My favrotite fish is the Flame Angel!

[@shawnlancaster1634]

Love the videos. Keep it up bro

[@garrett4299]

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.

Great subject for a video!

[@daviddumanski]

[@cadehemond1360]

Awesome vid. Keep it up! You've helped me setup my 60 gallon cube so much! Thank you

[@mikenielsen6038]

Tanks again! It is always nice to check out new fish - even if you can't afford them!

[@karlk1257]

Great picks, man. You had me yelling “Dayyyummm!” throughout the whole video. 😂😂

[@heidisfishtank7543]

The most I’ve ever paid was $45 for a healthy copperband butterfly that was eating well but man would I love a gem tang!

[@MadHattersReef]

They are a great looking 🐠

[@SavageDragon999]

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.

[@dirkmcgurk4495]

Looks like u need a sugar daddy

[@Whiteman115]

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!!

[@MadHattersReef]

You got a great deal on that fish.

[@bigchungus3692]

I got a £10 fish but wasn’t allowed an other because it was too expensive

[@MrAballistar]

Ohh I am a school teacher with 2 reef tanks. Any money helps. I send all my kids to your videos for info. Thanks keep it up!

[@alexandremcsdias]

Have all! 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻 Thanks for the list!

[@jaredc5789]

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.

[@NuclearSpinach]

Just checked and saw the price was $3999.99

[@baharibro4435]

regal angel is hard to keep for me, awesome aquarium you have, geeting from Bali_indonesia

[@matthewcautero1000]

I am a new sub and love the videos

[@pokeyh1979]

Great video

[@darthweezy]

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...

[@reefheadst.v.796]

that's what I am saying. Lol

[@eegernades]

A perfect purple tang?

[@addybaddie0]

Your list is way better.

[@chasebaldwin5351]

Thanks for being so knowledgeable. I love saltwater fish and like this channel a lot! I love learning new things, especially about saltwater fish!

[@airtripko]

Very Interesting topic!

[@CJSAQUARIUMS]

Got my 🍪🥛 ready for the next tank update... u been holding out!

[@javieltaino]

Your videos are awesome! Makes me want to get back into the hobby.

[@sunnygoold9449]

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

[@senthilkumarp3347]

Nice video, keep it up

[@jeneanarmstrong7854]

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.

[@ungahaayah9565]

A face only a mother could love 😍 Classic Shade!!!!

[@ohyesitist1165]

Most expensive fish out there is peppermint dwarf angel priced at $30000

[@kjharveyy7284]

Most expensive I bought was a 5 inch Sailfin Tang and I absolutely adore him, he’s so sweet. I paid $60 for him

[@MadHattersReef]

[@tomasrodrigo3807]

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!

[@yourfellowreefer7145]

Man this is a good video . I always wondered what the most expensive fish were , and now I know ! Thanks mad hat

[@tang_nabbitchannel3898]

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.

[@mikelask4106]

Most expensive fish is the one I dont know I need yet....

[@giovannischmit9299]

Salt water fish are the best

[@BlueCarbonReefing]

Jeff the king of top 10's! Most expensive fish I have bought is a chevron tang. Keep up the great vids!

[@MadHattersReef]

Hmm top 10 king, that may be a thing... Chevrons are a good looking tang for sure!

[@BlueCarbonReefing]

Mad Hatter's Reef It is a thing and you are it my friend...👊💪

[@RipVanWinkle_Nature_Discovery]

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.

[@rockylord7507]

Love the tusk! Always wanted one.. great episode! Love to see a list of reef safe fish with the most colors.

[@rockylord7507]

Gem tang.

[@maw1000]

$5 for a green chromis. It is the only fish I bought so far. Just starting my tank.

[@natelink3873]

Another great video

[@leeandmandybattersby5958]

[@MadHattersReef]

[@riles.royale376]

[@grammarpolice8034]

[@sybelen]

[@matthewstevens5078]

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.

[@christianduran7978]

Hiiiiiii I love your vids keep it up and some of these fish are so expensive 😮

[@craigprice927]

I am SO happy I finally made the leap to Salt Water!

[@FuZeTrIcKzZ]

[@brandonlovett604]

Blue spotted jawfish $150

[@manueltroncoso6669]

I can’t stop wanting to imagine that you’re Davos from GoT.

[@darksidereefer]

300 scribbled angel. 300 Australian harlequin tusk

[@jr8688]

30 bucks on a regular clown fish is the most I've dropped on a fish. Don't feel comfortable spending more til I get more experience

[@MadHattersReef]

I remember when I was freaking out about spending $10.00 a fish in my freshwater days.

[@krishnar1182]

Awesome video and fish, but honestly I prefer the cheaper captive bred ones

[@jenkinscrew]

Large copperband for 75. Has such a great personality too.

[@mitchpowers7043]

Excellent video!! Now how about the top 10 least expensive fish for those on a budget?

[@RogueAquariums]

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.

[@negativeimage2445]

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.

[@harry8130]

You forgot the bandit angelfish! Some of those fish would cost double or triple down here in Australia. Keep up the great vids 👍

[@silviadodd3356]

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

[@Luckydude717]

Most of the Gem tangs that I’ve seen for sale are $1500+

[@nouknouks6116]

parle kaka

[@joshweaver673]

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

[@jackmcpherson6750]

I figured the Gem Tang would have been #1..... mine was the copperband butterfly for $53 I think lol.

[@chrisjohnson8611]

Thanks for the videos. My tank is just a 10 months old. Yellow Tang which is pretty common 50.00.

[@jagananna6572]

My List of Expensive Fish 1) Bocchu 2) Ravvu 3 ) Bommidayilu 4) pitta parigelu 5) bangaru teega 6) Sora chepa 7) korra matta 8) royyalu 9) maccha peethalu 10) balm chapa

[@airtripko]

[@grammarpolice8034]

ReefTankVlog I have a purple tang he gets along great with my flame angel

[@anthonyscianna7893]

I got my Emperor Angel 110 it's an awesome fish

[@tkexotix]

Was a little surprised on this. There are plenty of fish in the 10s of thousands range.... not a bad vid tho man!

[@apnut]

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.

[@robertmccreary4749]

Why did you leave the collector fish off the list such as Gem tangs?

[@SCReefer]

It looks like I will not buying any of those fish...lol

[@MadHattersReef]

Maybe the achilles Rand for me.

[@tomlipare9407]

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.

[@MadHattersReef]

I’m not very well versed in the angle fish side of things still need to do some research.

[@Radiator_Bacon]

two words ... Peppermint Angel

[@Ankudamurderer]

I had an angel once, very beautiful baby emperor, Never got to see her grow ;~;

[@erica.5583]

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.

[@jamesbaker5642]

That Goldflake Angel is pretty incredible!

[@crazwolf9825]

most expensive fish i have purchased is not the fish i paid the most for... so far... it is a marine betta, at the time i bought him, online pricing was between $85-120, but i paid $30.... how you ask? when i was buying him, the store clerk dropped him from the top tank displays when netting him, onto a textured concrete floor. not only a 6"+ fall, but also was scrapped up really bad. he was not doing well and figured he would have a better chance to survive if i took him home rather than leave him in the store. so i bought at the discounted price. i nursed him back to health, and he recovered well. that was 1½ yrs ago. grown from just under 2" to almost 5" now. and shows no signs of ever being damaged. he has his own tank with custom foam/concrete background complete with a cave he likes to chill in. shared with brown leg hermits, couple of medium sized whelk snails, and a pencil urchin. (trying to keep a brown motife going, and am still searching for some starry hermits) of course he is not eating frozen or flake food, and never will. copepods are abundant, and regularly i add amphipods from fuges/sumps from other systems. one of my favorite fish, to date.

[@KreefAquariumhobby]

awsome fish! my most exspensive fish for now is a powder brown tang

[@mikesenuty7162]

We have a fairly new tank, so I believe the most expensive fish we have purchased has been a clown tang at about $40

[@AmericanReefing]

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.

[@ItsJayCross319]

Loved this video. It's always fascinating to see the most expensive fish in the hobby.

[@thebouncingmushroom6657]

Love this video. So helpful!

[@aryiahashemi]

Peacekeeper maroon clown fish. Was auctioned for 8900$

[@williamchristian4031]

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

[@MadHattersReef]

That would be a good topic🐠

[@FlipThatCardKez]

What about the Bandit angel

[@robertrobert989]

I bought a Japanese golden hawk fish it was $400. It was very beautiful and we had only seen one in 5 years of reef keeping

[@anthonyruth1210]
