You and me both buddy, my books cost me $275 this semester.
I would either get 1 indo datnoid OR get 5.
Okay this is what I would do IMO, get 5x indo datnoids, and 10x baby clown loaches.
Both fish are slow growing and pretty hardy, and when they get too big sell them off and make some tuition money. I sold 6x 4" clown loaches that originally cost me $8 TOTAL when they were only 1.5". Indo datnoids on the other hand catch a sick price when they get big.
