Back in February, I purchased 6 Badis badis and over the span of two months lost 5 of them to a disease they had when I bought them. Since then, the store has not sold very many of the Badis and I have slowly brought home 7 more for a total of 8 (one of the guys thinks I may have bought all that were sold).
I was in the LFS Sunday and there was 14 Badis left in the tank. By now, all the ill ones have died off and these 14 have been there since February. I have seen them for sell once, but they went from $6.99 to $5.99. Big deal I asked what kind of price I could get on them if I took them all home (now, you should know that I DO NOT have another tank for them and Trevor does not want to upgrade the current 10 gal Badis tank). $4.99. Still too pricely for me, plus where would I put them?
(FYI--on Saturday, without Trevor knowing, I called about used tanks in the Bargain Finder, but all the 20 gals were sold.)
As things have turned out one of the people I called called me back and said they had a 25 gal complete setup. It's not the best deal I can get, but now I need it
Trevor and I were at the LFS last night and a different manager was on duty. The price for the Badis? $3.99 each. Okay!!! I paid for them and promised to pick them up Wednesday. (Meanwhile Trevor is wondering just where they are going to go --oh?! in the 25 gal that I don't have yet ) The manager made a big deal to one of the underlings there that the Badis tank was to be marked and no more should be sold. Funny, they haven't moved since February!
I am picking up the 25 gal today, putting in established tank water and filter. The tank will have to live on the floor until we can get a stand to stack the 25 and the 10 gal shellie tank. They are coming home tomorrow!!!
