I saw at the LFS today a giraffe cat and have heard of a lot of people having them, i as wondering if anybody could tell me a little bit about them and what they will go with
 
I had a cat similar to the Giraffe cat years ago, A Pseudodoras niger . They get really big, are rather Docile. they mostly eat off the bottom but will take food from the top. the one I had would always eat from the top like a person eating corn on the cobb. it was funny to watch. I wish I could find another cheap.

is gravel okay for them? I think Im going to get one I have heard a lot of good about them today. Is roughly $25 an okay price?

I'd say so yeah but that's me over here in the UK wee's pay for a Juvy about 6/7" £25/30 which in USD it's $43.99/52.79 so i'd say yes $25 which is £14.20 was a very good deal !!!
 
$25 is a good price and gravel is fine for substrate. Did you see the giraffe at Byerlys?
