Galaxy Rasboras

I just got a dozen from my LFS!!! I am so excited, they are acclimating now and then will be housed with some espei for a couple weeks and then have a whole 75g tank to themselves and hopefully they will breed. If they do well I will be picking up some more after the new year.

LFS still has I think a dozen or so left and I know they just ordered in 48 more so if these do well I may end up getting some more.

With any luck I can get these guys to breed and ship some this spring/summer.

My LFS has them for $9.98 a piece. I think a little less if you buy 3 or more.

I just bought 7 for $4.99 a piece in Modesto. They are really beautiful, I may go back and get some more!
