Re: [GSAS-Member] Denny's has galaxy rasboras: $25 each

[matt kaufman <igotadose@hotmail.com>]

If common to the trade, where else are they available in the Seattle area? From 
what I've been able to find out they're not the most easily bred nor prolific 
rasbora. $25 for a little reddish fish is pretty high, but do any other shops 
have them? Even back in NJ they're going for around $20/each when you can find 
them. Even if you could mail-order them for $10/fish, airport shipping would 
drive the price probably to near $20 for a lot of 6 of them.
 
Hopefully it won't be as bad as the Melanotaenia praecox nonsense of a few 
years back where females weren't distributed (like is done with most gouramis 
today.) 
 
I agree with Susan - Denny's is a great pet shop and holding its own against 
the Petcos/Petstupids of the world and we should try to support them. I only 
wish they didn't sell kittens and puppies :-(
