So I went to a Petsmart near my house yesterday to get some dog food and decided to look at the fish. While browsing, I found these Jack Dempseys that had absolutely beautiful color (I think they're both males but whatever. I can separate them if need be). One of the employees had mixed the small and the medium size they sell, so I managed to get 2, 3 inch Jack Dempseys for $5. Then, I was looking at the red devil tank and there were about 10 little red devils huddled in the corner. Peering into the one cave in the tank, I saw a 2.5 inch little creamsicle red devil that was absolutely gorgeous (and exactly what I have been looking for for quite a while). So for $6, he was mine. Finally, I picked up a few giant danios as dithers. Added all of them to my 75 gallon aquarium, and eventually they will go in my 180 gallon, once I finish my motoro's pond.

So, after all my ranting, here they are! (And they have been swimming around. They're just hiding from the camera flash.)

nice colors on those JD's! great pick up! I may have done the same thing too if I saw them. Petsmart has great JD's and RD's if you find them at the right time.
 
Sweet I love JD's.. I managed to pick up a 5 inch JD for just over $3 on sale at Petsmart a few months back. It was in a tank full of 2-3 inchers and was bossing everyone else around. He has grown a bit since I got him and is just over 6 inches now.
 
Now, if I can find a little festae, a little green terror, a little salvini, and a little synspilum. (The plan is to separate those that don't get along as they grow, and those that do get along will be transferred to the 180 gallon. I'll also add some more giant danios and a few tinfoil barbs as dithers. Maybe even some convict dithers...
