Female Blue Neon Dwarf Gourami?

[justyn725]

Does anyone know where to find a female blue neon dwarf gourami online? I can't find it at Petco or any of the local stores in local cities...so...time to look online. Anyone have any ideas?

aquabid maybe?

I've been checking aquabid every couple days for a while now...nothing seems to come up there either.

Did you try asking your LFS if they can order any? Usually a good fish store won't have any in stock but can get them in a week or so.

The closest LFS is about an hour away...so I'm rarely able to go anywhere else but Petco and I doubt they'd order specifically for me.

You could easily transport fish for an hour in a cooler with a battery powered air pump. They probably wouldn't be super happy about it, but I think they would make it no problem. You may also try asking Petco if they could request some females with their next shipment of fish and hold them for you. I don't know if they will or not, but you might be surprised.
