interseting.........those fish go for 50 bucks at my lfs........the people that work there say they haven't sold even 1!! they all just die. they do have nasty conditions though so i'm not to surprised. it's really to bad that the indian government over there doesn't understand that if you only target the breeding population soon enough all you will have are juvies that don't produce as many offspring. the are very nice looking fish, in the barb family, does anyone actually own one of these?? like i said they are really spendy and the cheapest i have seen them was like 25-30 bucks.
