Well when you consider how small the operation would have been, and the circumstances in which they would have had to have operated. Surprised it was possible at all, to be honest.
A similar operation on a cat or dog would probably be in four figure numbers. Sadly it's an expensive thing to have animals these days, and people wonder why the shelters are all so full...there's many good people out there who would treat their animals with care, if they could afford it, but sadly there's many who can afford it but just don't bother.
Besides, you scale that fish up a little and go for a Koi Carp...and you're probably looking at a three figure number just to buy the thing.
