3 RBP in a 55?

get the 1" at $6, with the same price $60 you can get a lot more than just 3 so if you worry about some may die off, the extra number will make it up. actually AE Aquatics in Bayonne has special on 1" and 2" so if you wanna get the bigger one you can.

just curious, which town are you in?

Start with 5 and end with 3 is a good bet. 3 will be happy for a few years in there. Eventually a 75gal would be better.

whoa whoa whoa, 20 bucks each for freakin 2 inches? your shop is robbing you! they grow an inch a month, so the difference in 2 inches and one inch is only a 3-6 weeks older. don't pay 14 extra bucks for a fish that's 6 weeks older tops.

i've sold 6 inchs for 20 bucks before.

 

[Sanjo Eel]

Yeah I agree that's a little high for babies. Around here 2 inchers go for $8 at the lfs.

Thanks for the warning. Ill see if he can price match and if not then Im definetely not going to get them there.

 

[jp80911]

good luck with getting them price match as that might be not far from their cost.

yeah, i doubt they'd price match and there's not much of a reason for them to. if they're a shop that doesn't get them that often, someone will be excited and buy them. my local stores are able to sell them 4 inches and under for 12-15 bucks but when we had a store that kept them in regularly, they were 4-7 bucks for the same size
