New stock

So I am quite excited with the new stock I picked up today. I grabbed some males Albino Red Male guppies to pair up with the females I already had. I also got a bunch of Dwarf Neon Rainbows. I was introduced to these guys a while ago and was very attracted to them. The bright red fins and the silver body that showed off the rainbow of colours is quite amazing. Last but not least I got myself 4 Electric Blue Jack Dempseys. I was able to cherry pick the tank at the wholesaler and I am very impressed with the stock. These guys are not included in the 4 for 3 sale but I would be willing to give them up for $45/each for those interested.

I was at Big Als today and I was frankly a little shocked at their prices - Bosemani Rainbows, the same size I have, are selling for $19.95, I have them for $8.50. German Blue Rams were $24.95, Richard on BC Aquaria is selling his amazing stock for $5 each! I guess they have a bit of overhead but wow!
