    that's a good deal depending on where they originated from (hans, wattley, etc)
    I paid aprox $30 a piece and mine were supposed to be that size...but most were actually closer to 4"

    Sounds like you got a good deal.. The guy i'm buying them from is in the hobby and sells fish. He has a lot of nice fish. Check out his site...

    Dawn, did you contact Rama from skoolzoffish? I just got an email saying he got one of my referrals and if they buy something I get 6 Cardinal Tetra's on the house! Sounds like a good little school to go with my new Discus. Saw pics of the two he has right now. They are blue. Look sort of like the Discus I have now but I may still buy them. I really want to get another Pigeon Blood or two. Last one I bought was really pretty!!!
