Clown Loaches SOOO Expensive Now!!

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
My local LFS who I like to support won't get clown loaches anymore. For the small guys he needs to retail them over $10 to make profit, and in our area they just won't sell.

I did walk into petsmart (shame on me) and saw they had a sale going on $4.75 for their medium clowns-- roughly 3". I ended up grabbing three, lost one who got himself caught in an ornament (how I don't know) and grabbed two more. I couldn't walk out without snatching a few up at that price. Especially since the other LFS here had the 1.5" for $12
 
prices here in ny sky rocketted too.. they say its hard to get,, u have to look locally if some1 wants to sell them.. which is the cheapest way.. im getting like 4 for $65 at around 3-4.5 inches..
 
I feel better about the prices here I can get 3-4 inch for 14 bucks, there's a store here that always has them at the medium and large categories but there is minimal difference between the two. 14 for the meds. 20ish for the large.
 
I went out &bumped into some loaches at about 7inches. $88 bucks each. I bought all three for $230. I hope that was a good deal b/c its hard to find big ones. Had to rush it home & dump it in fast caz i was late for work. Hopefully they r still alive. Lol

is $230 a good deal for three of them at 6-7inches?
 
true.. a day later, i bought another two for $105 at about good 6 inches.. it was a good deal.. i got way too many now.. needa stop
