I went into Seapets today to see if they had any yellow box fish. Haven't got a marine tank but am curious about these little fish (seen in Newquay Aquarium last week). Shop didn't have any but when they do - wait for it - £26.50 each!!!! For something the size of a piece of sweetcorn!

What a shock.
I'm used to paying 60p for a cardinal tetra or £2 for an angel. The most I've ever paid was £2.50 each for my hatchets.

I think I'll stick to freshwater for now.

Hmm I noticed as well how expensive the marines are. I was planning on setting one up but I have to reconsider now as we are moving and will look into it once we have moved properly.
