We?ve rounded up a collection of the top ten most expensive fish from the aquarium hobby, from all over the world.

If you think a few thousand dollars sounds like a lot of money to pay for fish, how about $400,000 for the exquisite Platinum Arowana"

Some of these fish are so rare, that even if you have the money and the knowledge of how to look after them ? you still wouldn?t be able to buy one because they?re just not available.

Whilst many of these fish are not available for most people to simply just buy or pick up from a store, their beauty and patterns are incredible to look at, and make us wonder about the many other unknown creatures that are still yet to be discovered in the depths of the ocean.
