Adding $7500 worth of fish into a Sloped River Tank!

In this video we join Finn and Marina at Atlas Aquariums to add some (very expensive) fish into their incredible sloped river tank! These aren't just any fish though - they can't be imported into Australia, and we have very limited supply, which has driven up the price of these fish dramatically compared to many other places in the world.

Its crazy how expensive this hobby has become since covid. I used to have 6 tanks, 320 gallons and now i cant even get into it again. A 120 gallon in the US costs $500 now and i cant imagine how much the rest would cost me. Maybe in another lifetime.

@Kaityscichlids Жыл бұрын

Here in Australia we get a lot of people selling tanks secondhand on Gumtree and you can get some great deals. The brand new tanks are super pricey here though too

@lacabanadesangre6179 Жыл бұрын

Here in Spain has got worse. It never was a cheap hobby but now everything is so expensive. Even a normal goldfish now costs like 5-10 € (5-10 $) when they used to cost cents. I talked with a shop owner and she told me that is because much commercial connections with Asia or other European countries have disappeared. It’s sad.

@onlywei Жыл бұрын

What did a 120 gallon in the US cost pre-COVID?

Plenty of well priced second hand tanks available (in the UK anyway). They do start to get a bit more expensive when you're going over 6', but they are out there. I would only ever buy a new tank if it was something specific that I really wanted. They depreciate like nothing else.

Are these Blue Phantom Pleco L128? These are £44.95 in my local store. I remember that you've showed Pea Puffers the other day which are $150-200 in Australia and only about $5 in the UK. What makes them so expensive? Are they illegal to import? I know that these plecos are super hard to breed in aquariums, but pea puffers just need food and water to make babies.

@Kaityscichlids Жыл бұрын

That's the ones! They're illegal to import here and there's not a lot of supply here so it drives the price up. The pea puffers have come down in price significantly since they started getting bred here, because I think they're easier to breed like you mentioned. But the plecos will probably stay at a higher price for longer
