Yeah, my Google search also included some Google Shopping hits and some were moderately priced around $10.00 to $15.00 each, with some priced as high as $50.00 to $60.00 each (for Orange Sunburst or Double Full Red variants). The $10.00 to $15.00 range isn’t an exorbitant price compared to what some folks pay for fish.

Probably because many people do not have them. I seldom see them in the stores so the main source is other hobbyists, and I think that most on this list just have not gotten that far into the hobby yet, evidenced by most discussions about fish being those commonly found in shops.
I did have some. […]
I was just browsing the June 2009 issue of TFH (Tropical Fish Hobbyist magazine) and in the Q & A section, someone asked about the “Cockatoo Cichlid”. TFH included a nice picture of a male and it was a really nice looking fish so I was curious why there’s not much talk about them […]
Ike Lenny, I am not sure what you mean by CO3 levels unless you are talking about CaCO3, calcium carbonate, in which case your readings are not a problem.
Your dwarf water lily is a dwarf. If you had a “normal” sized water lily, your 20 gallon tank would not be large enough for one leaf, […]
In my freshwater aquarium, I have been having a problem with very high c03 levels(Between 80 and 100 PPM), however my co2 levels stay low - nearly unreadable. I currently have some live plants - a species of dwarf lily that I am not sure of its proper genus(And how it can be called a […]
I don’t have any anacharis in the tank, I had a valisneria but I removed it when it melted from the flourish excel, it’s starting to regrow in another tank now. I have a couple of types of crypts, a type of Echinodorus (sword), and something I’m not sure what it is, […]
For a 10G tank, here’s a LONG guideline http://goldlenny.blogspot.com/2007/03/haileys-10-gallon-tank-stocking-list.h tml with lots of options for stocking a 10G tank but the Pictus Catfish is definitely NOT suitable for a 10G. Double and triple check the scientific name at the store to make sure you are getting something that is suitable. Here’s a good care […]
Big difference between Dwarf Gouramis and regular Gouramis. A 3″ Dwarf Gourami is about 1/8th the body mass of a regular 6″ Gourami.
For comparative purposes, if you had two dwarfs in a 40G, for a comparative bioload, two full size gouramis would be in 320G of water. Not that they would need […]
OK. But now I want to clarify what you are calling “Mystery snails”. Mystery snails are actually the common name given to a snail that grows to around 2″ and the smaller cousin to the Apple Snail http://www.applesnail.net/ and is not a prolific breeder (in most cases) and is actually purchased by folks as […]
