The owner of Dragon Fish and Pets (he bought far and beyond aquarium and changed the name) is very nice, cheap, and helpful. He has often told me he'll order any type of fish I want and charge the price he paid. He always throws in a few extra fish or merchandise also. Next time I go in I can check with him and see how much he could order these fish for. He has a website but it's not fully functional yet: http://www.dragonfishandpets.com/ >From: matt kaufman <igotadose@hotmail.com> >Reply-To: Greater Seattle Aquarium Society member >chat<gsas-member@thekrib.com> >To: Greater Seattle Aquarium Society member chat <gsas-member@thekrib.com> >Subject: Re: [GSAS-Member] Denny's has galaxy rasboras: $25 each >Date: Sat, 30 Dec 2006 04:33:14 +0000 > >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?
