I posted earlier that Big Als was opening Saturday. I drove by after work and was surprised to find they are open for business now. I spoke to Bob the owner. He is a very nice guy who used to own the famous Martin's Aquarium in Jenkintown, PA. The fish expert is John; easy to spot with his ponytail.

The fish prices are unbelievable. I purchased a 5" Bristle Nose (been looking for one for over a year) for $3.49. Most amazing is they have what all of us African Cichlid keepers want......RED fish. I picked up a 3" RED Peacock for $15. It looks like an Aulonocara Stuartgranti (Rubescens) but Red not orange.

I also picked up three 2" Red Hot Zebras. Again they were a nice shade of red; some very deep red. These amazing fish were only $4.99 ea (two for $7.99).

This will be the end of my marriage for sure. Wife and son thought I had picked up dinner when I came into the house with the bag of fish.
