So I guess this sort of thing happens in any hobby.
I was at an orchid show in December a few years ago. There was a nursery selling some plants and there was a Cymbidium that was a few hundred £.
I asked the lady why it was so expensive. She told me that if you want a white flowered Cymbidium at Xmas time, that's what it costs.
Personally I thought it was rediculous. But someone did buy the plant!

They are such lovely fish and the variety of colors is amazing. I have never been to a fish show proper, but I could imagine some more sensitive types not doing well to any type of change. Like, you go to check your prized winning fishy and insta sushi.
I saw some orchids that were quite costly at a show. The type you don't want to breathe on.
