Im Not the Only One Who Is Platinum...


What is the most expensive fish for an aquarium in the world?


Think that having fish as pets is cheap? Well it is if you’re buying goldfish or feeder fish that cost little to replace but there’s one aquarium fish that is not only very costly to replace, it’s also a very rare breed and has a very rare condition, all of which make it the most expensive aquarium fish in the world.


The fish is a platinum arowana and it is 15 inches long. It lives in Singapore, where it is owned by Aro Dynasty, a dragon fish breeder. Its right eye pulls downward and although this is a rare condition, it is not rare for the arowana breed.


However, the pure white color of this particular fish is rare, even amongst its own kind, and is considered a mutation. The fish was displayed at the show Aquarama 2007 where it gained international attention. Shortly after the show, Aro Dynasty received an offer of $80,000 for the fish and after declining, they received another offer of 200 pounds, about $400,000 USD for the fish. Turning that offer down as well, Aro Dynasty still maintains that the fish is not for sale. However, this rare fish is still considered to be the most expensive fish in the world.


I love the name sake but this fish is UGLY... lol

How Much Do You Love You Blackberry???


What is the most expensive Blackberry case in the world?

Some people will do just about anything to protect their Blackberry and with the capacity that these small gadgets have for holding contacts, browsing the Internet, checking email, and keeping the rest of the user’s life organized, it’s no wonder that people want to make sure that this little piece of equipment is protected at all times. It is this concept that has spurned many different accessories and Blackberry cases but if you want to protect your Blackberry in only the utmost elegant kind of way, you’ll need to spend $20,000 on the most expensive Blackberry case.
This Blackberry case was first debuted at the event CES 2008, where one lucky attendee was the sole winner of one. At the time, this was believed to be the only case of its kind in existence but they are now available to anyone who is willing to pay the hefty price tag. Whether it’s the diamonds or the gold used that make up the expensive price may be up to you to decide but there’s no doubt that there’s plenty of both! The case is actually constructed of carbon fiber leather which, is of course made of gold and specially designed for this particular case and within this gold are 42 diamonds, weighing 3.5 carats each. The emblem of the back adds to the beauty of the case and is made of the same type of gold as the rest of the case. But who needs a gold and diamond case if it doesn’t offer a sufficient level of protection? This case is sure to do that too with impact-resistant plastic as well as full screen protection.
The case is called the Diamond Blackberry Curve Case and it can be purchased through Case-Mate.
I love the thought of REAL GOLD & DIAMONDS on a Blackberry holster but it still just looks bland. For 20k it doesnt stand out at all.
