i'd be willing to split shipping, i don't imagine it'd be more than $50~80 total then split in half wouldn't be too bad.
Would you really split the cost? How many are there 4? How big will they be before you give them up?
currently i believe there are 4 in the tanks, at least thats how many there were sunday and at $8.50ea(being sold as synos) i don't think they're going anywhere. i'll probably unload them at around 6"~8"
wish i was close by
i rescued 8 of them 4 normal and 4 leucistic
all were 5" and were kept in a 30g tank
but it was pointless as these are endemic to india lfs get them in hundreds every week and i really can't house them all
they keep them in overcrowded tanks without filters, do not feed them at all, and usually most of them die due to fungus and fin rot
and a few go to people who can't house them well and they get stunted and die
i have tried speaking to the lfs owners, three of them till now and none of them give a **** about it so its almost a no win situation here and as there are only three lfs worth going of the total 4 lfs i have no choice but to go there and look at this day after day
here for a 5" pair it is 3/4th of a US dollar

wow, that's really sad. there are stores like that here(wally world comes to mind) i really like these guys, i was a bit worried about them not eating or being completely healthy because they were a bit skinny, i threw in a few aquadine crisps for my loaches and they at them all and are looking 100% healthy today. i just wish there was a dwarf sp. or that these guys weren't monster cats, they'd be perfect if they topped out at 6"
yes, if i go down to my grandparents i'll bring along the fish and drive them over if you have a suitable tank or are going to provide one as soon as they need it, unfortunately that 240g won't do it for life as it isn't wide enough.
