Looking for a few more to grow out. Actually they would be for my 12yo daughter. She is giving up on her pink convicts. She has had them for years and they have provided me with some very nice feeders. lol So, she has an empty 50 gal and wants to get a better FH than mine. (She's a little competitive.) Only looking for a few and she really likes short bodies and parrot crosses. Unfortunately she does not want any of my fry or growouts. She is going to be buying her own and I offered to cover shipping. So if anyone has any ideas let me know. I would rather stay away from ebay and AB and she is not looking for anything fancy. Remember 12yo budget. lol
Good place to buy some fry?

a little more expensive but you can get some nice fry and they have kirins for $16 too.

Thanks for the info. Sent aquaticwonderland an email. The first one is tempting but a crapshoot and shipping from Cali. If I was going to order a bunch of them maybe. Have you or anyone else ever bought from Dragon22 on AB? He is in Newark NJ and I could pick them up. I have relatives in North Jersey about 45 minutes away. He has some nice stuff listed.

Unfortunately most LFS around here are either way too expensive, have sick fish or ugly run of the mill culls. You may get lucky once in a while but by the time I pay for gas driving to all the stores around here I could just pay shipping and get what she wants.

He's pretty much a scammer from what I've heard through the grapevine but you could give him a try..

I wouldn't say he's a scammer, since he does actually send you the fish you bought. However, from my multiple experiences, the fish are sick, malnourished, and bellyful of worms which is a PITA to treat. I am not going to mention any ones names but several of us experienced this. He's not in the business for the compassion of FHs, but straight up for profit. Be careful on what you buy, I'd say it's a crap shoot whether your fish you get is nice or really sick with full of parasites that will infect your all other fish.

I think I'm going to pass on Dragon22. If anyone here is looking to sell a few let me know via PM. I know shipping is a pain this time of year but I am willing to pay and take the risk. Thanks for all of the input so far!!!
