A red dragon fish, costing almost as much as a BMW, is available at a shop in Chengdu, Sichuan province.
The fish, which comes from Indonesia, is 55-centimeters long and weighs 1.5 kilograms. Its scales and fins are pepper red, which is rare, as most dragon fish are usually yellow or silver.
If any fish fans are interested, the price is 360,000 yuan ($55,400). The rare fish is also high maintenance, costing more than 300 yuan per month to keep.
