I was surprised how cheap banjo's were. They were 3.95 at the lfs and its the first time i had ever seen them before. i bought 2 and they are around 5 inches.
Best price i've heard of. I've paid from $5.99-13.99 USD. Lately the only place i've seen them around me are $13.99. Still a few lfs i haven't looked just yet. I've got 3 and want around 5 heh
Mine are just about full grown. They max out around 6 inches and they arent picky eater from what ive seen. Ive seen them eat the Omega shrimp pellets and Omega Flakes. This lfs is a new one i discovered in Dothan, AL. He has alot of good prices and deal. When i bought mine they were buy one get one half off. So i only paid like 6.50 for both but without the deal i would have bought them anyway at only 4 bucks a piece. Im thinking of buying a pair of Synodontisocellifer but that would be 37 buck with the half off deal.
Nice, banjos are great. I had a group of them in a sand bottom-leaf littered tank. I would only be able to see their heads sticking out of the sand. They loved black worms.
Their in a bare bottom tank cause all i have are catfish and they cant hide from me. i can see through the bottom They have been out in the day quite a bit. The pictures i took were at like 3pm and he was just chillin.
Wow, crazy to hear about the high prices on banjos. I think I paid about $4 per for my first set, of 3. My latest set (4) cost me $2.48 each. I saw them at the same price at another store just the other day.
Anyway, enjoy your new banjos! Mine are certainly among my favorite fish that I own.
