I just robbed the my lfs. They gave me to

2 Redline Barbs

and 4 Blackline Penguin Fish
http://www.picable.com/Nature/Fish/A-Blackline-Penguin-Fish.23400

all for $10.:biggrin: I know the barbs go for at least $20 each, but I'm not for sure what the penguin fish go for. Does anyone know?

nice deal on the barb. You should run back get more barbs. They're pretty hard to find.

JERK!!!!! :tongue:

What a deal. Penguins go for $3-4 around here.

I just picked up three tiny Roselines up at my LFS for $25 a pop.


LUCKY JERK!!!!:hihi:

wholesale price (at least around here) on the roselines is $9 each, retailing at $25-30. The penguins retail at 3.29.

impressive deal!

was it a new person dealing with fish? mislabeled?

 

[Raul-7]

Great deal! But you should either look into setting up a larger aquarium (75G or larger) or selling the Roseline barbs as they will quickly outgrow your 29G.

Where did you get them?

 

[ILuvMyGoldBarb]

I'm jealous, I can't find Redlines around here!

 

[knuggs]

Evercl92- Can you get them at that wholesale price? Is your name short for everclear the drink?

MiSo- They weren't labeled and the salesman was irritated that his manager has been slacking on the labeling. So he gave them to me for $2 each. My lucky day, hopefully I can get him to do it again.

Raul-7- Do you know how long they take to grow to their adult size? I've seen the adults. They get fatty and up to 6 inches but I don't know how long it takes. The fish in the picture is it's current size.

Yoink- Uncle Bills. I think it was a one time oppurtunity, but I know the guy well so maybe I might be able to make another deal sometime.

Dude. I've seen redlines going for $40 around here. You should buy them and sell them online!!!
