God, we have like 7 fish stores in a 6 mile radius. 1 will charge $4 for a single cardinal, while the others charge$2.50. 1 will charge the same price for any fish under show size for the same price, usually 5 bucks more then the other guys, but they have them in. But any way silver aro, about 5 bucks 6-7" 50 for 10"+ Competition helps. easy to find a cheaper price. Also in AUS, you guys have that whole non native species epidemic, that causes import surcharge taxes on animals. Go to your LFS and see how much a Harlequin Tusk fish cost, and report that price. Austrailian of course, cause that is where the best colors are from. Of course you could just go fishing and get one for free.....
