OMG!! Buc_Nasty .... that is SOOO funny! My first Denison I bought for $30, thought they were aka "tri-color sharks" for $3.00. I get to the counter and I was like WHAT? $30!? and then it hit me, Denisons are aka Roseline sharks which they did have labeled $30 (the densions and tri-color were in the same tank). I bit the bullet.
Well, about a month later, I go to my Petsmart and low and behold, they had a tank full of Denisons for $3.50 or so ... BUT with a Petsmart membership card, they rang up $2.83. So I bought only one because at the time I had a Dension, a Redtail Shark and a Blue Gourami ... all of which can grow up to 6 inches. So in my mind I'm thinking I'll have too many 6 inch fish ... so what did I do? Yep I RETURNED the Denison to Petsmart
. It was for the better because my first Denison clearly did NOT like his newest tank-mate.
Well, another few weeks go by, my tank bully Gourami rehomed to a trusted LFS, I'm in a Petland discounts and see Denisons for $15 ... just the perfect purchase for my $25 B-day Gift Card! So I buy my third Denison and this time my original accepted his newest tankmate ... so now I have two.
Well, about another week later, I'm back at the Petsmart looking at supplies when I happen to look in the Dension Tank .. I'm expecting it to be empty ... and find
ONE in there ... clearly a bit stressed about being alone, but NO ick or other signs of diseases. I check and it's STILL the same price as before, so I snatch it up ... and that's how I've got my three. They're Absolutely Gorgeous fish!
