I love those sharks. frustrating that theyre so pricey...checkout roseline sharks. I have 4 in my 85 that are 7 years old and around 7 inches a piece. They have excellant color and swim all over the tank and apparentlly don't get really large. Very peaceful fish also.
My lfs had 3 for 35 bucks at 2 inches recently. I know I paid a heck of a lot more for them 7 years ago.
wow. the cheapest Ive seen is $22. which isnt bad really but the problem is getting enough for them to school on $80 a month. loli've seen them pretty inexpensive recently...saw them for $16 retail locally
My personal rule of thumb with larger fish (10"+) is you ideally want a tank that's based on the length of the fish and go 5-6x that for the length and 2x that for the width of the tank you keep them in. You could do a little less than that, but for a four foot fish that's still insanely large...

When I google "roseline shark" I get pages of "rummy nose tetra".
Is that the same thing?
If so, my local petsmart has them for 3 bucks each

No, rummy nose tetras are a tetra from south america, roseline sharks are a barb from India, scientific name is Puntius denisonii.
