Hubby and I went to the monthly fish auction again! This one was short...over in no time...

Came home with 5 little Celestial Pearl Danios...they're acclimating now...paid $17 for the 5 of them. The other bag of 5 went for $15...lol...

Hope they do well in the community tank...

If you want to know what they look like, I'll direct you to Celtic Fins photos...

...you don't wanna see mine...:hmm3grin2orange:

LOL...don't hold your breath...in order to get a decent photo I'll have to borrow hubby's work camera and muck about with lenses...

I need motivation to do all that...and the next 3 weeks I'll be too busy at work...

...after this job is done, I'll have more time...

Wow!! You got a great deal!! You'll love them.
Good luck on the pics, they don't cooperate well

Thanks! Yes, we did good! They list for around $7 US, probably double that here (if I could even find them in a store)...

Great buy. Much cheaper buying that way than from a store.

Healthier too if you buy from the right person. These came from a local fish expert...he goes all over the world collecting...nice guy...

Fantastic price thumbs2: Welcome to the club :22:

Mine are really super shy...I am happy when I spot them in the heavy planted tank but they are beyond beautiful and cute :18:

Yay! Another member! I love mine too :) In fact, I just for the first time saw a little fry in the tank the other day. It's gone now, either hidden in the flora or eaten by the adults, but it is nice to know that my little CPD's are happy enough to spawn.

I know how hard taking pics of these guys can be. I haven't landed a decent pic yet.
