the Paroon Shark. It is a catfish that lives in the Mekong River in Vietnam. It is considered a food fish, but most Vietnamese feel it's not tasty, largely because it likes to eat dogs. It's also ugly--not chacid ugly, but definitely not a thing of beauty either. You can probably buy a paroon shark for ten dollars. What makes it expensive is its living habits and sheer size. The paroon shark is a shoaling fish that spawns at 100 inches in length--and is full grown at 120 inches in length. How do you keep such a beast? Easy! Just move to California and dig a two-acre koi pond that's heavily planted and filled with large structures for cover--old apple juice barrels with both ends removed would work. You feed them by cutting a deal with the local animal control office to bring you roadkill. (You don't want the euthanized pets--the drugs they use to kill the pets would kill your fishes.) And make sure to fence the area off, because paroon sharks have foot-long spines that can kill a man sticking out both sides of their heads. And so, because of the logistics of maintaining this animal, I declare the Paroon Shark the world's most expensive fish.
