I would LOVE to but I priced them. The one at my LFS is 4+ inches and because of its size and quality it's $90.00 Yikes. So I don't think that's happening

I had the chance of a 4inch blue phantom for £30 the other day

That's around $47.00 US. Either you could have gotten agood buy or my LFS is making sure they make some money off this one.

I don't blame them. We don't have many indy FS around here and his stock is always good and he has to make money ... but ... that's pretty steep.

Scottishfish just likes to make us jealous LOL. I've seen UK sites that have rare tetra's for around three dollars that would be double that here if you could even find the fish.

Wow on that price I just bought 31 tetras delivered for $97.00.

How much do they want for the Gold spotted?

I think they wanted around $90 for that one, to but I'm not sure.
The Gold Nugget was $60 - but again, it was pretty good size -- around 4 inches.

They have Clowns for around $10 and I think she said they were just under 3"

I paid $75 for the emperor plec and gulped several times over that one. But, he is so unusual and so gorgeous and I'd been saving for this tank for some time so I could make it work in my 'fish budget' lol. Still ... that's a lot of money. It wasn't just my back injury that kept me awake at night when I was fighting ich in that tank. Besides worrying about the fish I kept thinking $75.00, $75.00 LOL

**steeler1** · 11-12-2012, 08:02 PM

12 Red Phantom, 13 Rummy Nose, and 6 Cardinal Tetras.

Some things are cheap here, others aren't. I had the chance of 30 pristela (I think that's the name) tetras for £25 today. I bought an L226 3inch for £18 the other day.

Okay NOW you're just rubbing it in. Between you and Taurus I don't know who's the bigger tease
