Just dropped in to Chum's today, and they have long-finned German rams for $7 each if you buy 6, and J. transcriptus 'gombi' for $10 each, as well as a large selection of nice crowntail bettas for $9.99 each....and Apisto agassizi for $25 each or 6 for $100 (Riverfront's are $36 each).

I hope to get up to Pisces later, as they should have got their weekly order in yesterday sometime.

 

[webmoose]

J. transcriptus 'gombi' max out around 5" right? Ornatus 3" ??

Can't wait for the Pisces report..

J. transcriptus 'gombi' max out around 5" right? Ornatus 3" ??

Riverfront has some nice cardinals right now, and you get a discount there, too.

Probably...he wasn't all that obvious. He was, I believe, in the third row, left side, top row, near the end (and if you see the tank and not him, have someone check, since, at first, I thought his tank was empty, too).

 

[webmoose]

Last time I was a riverfront they only had neons for .99 cents and they looked very pale..

I will have to check out their cardinals..

Thanks!

Glad to cost you money...

Actually, I scooped a plakat betta from Gold Aquariums today, and a female blue paradise from Chums, so I didn't get away too cheaply, either. Did you notice that Tanks has all their Sera foods in a bin at the till, all for 50% off (I scooped a couple of jars of SeraGran yesterday)?

 

[Menagerie]

I am not familar with Sera foods. However, I saved extra cash by using the Paws Pets coupon from the Entertainment book at Tanks

 

[Toirtis]

Sera foods are the best, but bloody spendy.

OK, so, with the low price, plus CAS discount, plus coupon, how much did that Ebo run you?

I didn't think I could use both discounts--the young lady working there wasn't sure (she's not sure about much, but she's enthusiastic). So, whatever $32.49 minus 20% plus GST is--my brain and my calculator are not working.

 

[Menagerie]

BTW~those channel cats in the tank with the Queen were covered in ich. I was afraid they might QT the tank and not sell her to me. I just said I was going to QT her and off I went.

 

[Toirtis]

Not too shabby...a queen arabesque and an Ebo for $50....hard to beat those prices.
