PetCo Shipping Live Fish

Is this a new thing? I don't think I ever saw it before.

I noticed Black Neon Tetras were mentioned in the forums not too long ago, and they're on of the FW fish offered. They even offer what they call packages of fish. Some of the package fish don't seem right together though.

Wow, those packages are horrible. 3 discus for a 30 gallon, 6 for a 50 gallon, and 12 for a 100 gallon. Are they nuts. And common plecos in the community packs, 4 for a 50 gallon tank. 8 goldfish in 30 gallons, 20 in 50 gallons, and 40 in 100 gallons! Waaay overstocked. I'd never buy these fish without seeing the quality either.

Do you see the prices on individual fish too!! $27 for a yellow lab cichlid. $18-30 for a fancy goldfish you can't even see. $11 for a female betta with delta or round tail. $29 for a ryukin. This is crazy!

Just think how easy it is to reach $175 for free shipping though!

if fish are that expensive they must be good... i'll take 12 :P

16 guppies, 8 of each sex, plus even more fish? What was somebody smoking? That right there would take you out of the 30 gallon realm and into a hundred in a few months!! Unless you plan to flush the fry *shudders*

Tropical Community Package 2C- 100 gallons
SKU: 1034359
The Tropical Community Package 2C- 100 gallons includes the following: 25 Fancy Male Guppies, 25 Fancy Female Guppies, 15 African Dwarf Frogs, 25 Silver Tip Tetras, 4 Plecostomus and 3 Plants on Driftwood.

I feel sorry for whoever buys this package... who want 15 frogs anyways!!!! and who wants 50 guppies... that would be about 700 guppies in a matter of months!

Discus Package- 100 gallons
SKU: 1034472
The Discus Package- 100 gallons includes the following: 6 Pigeon Blood Discus 4.5", 6 Red Turquoise Discus 4.5" and 3 Plants on Driftwood.

Thats not a bad deal... if you had a bigger tank... the price of that is fairly good (seeing as how discus go fot 70 bucks around here.
