i called one fish store and they have 3-4 inchers for 7.99. The other lfs has the same size one's for $20-25. Could they be different

So many choices.....
Do you like the large pearls on the Carpintis or the small spots on the Cyanoguttatus?
Once you choose one it becomes easier to narrow it down.
