 Why are the best looking fish hardest to keep?  Group: Members Posts: 1951 Joined: 20-January 08 From: South Dakota, USA Member No.: 38583 |

I like them and don't care for the brown ones. |

Its not that im not keen on the fish itself - but they are £25 each at my local store. I wondered if there was another algae eater that would be suitable... and cheaper!

Look on aquarist classified ads there are always people selling bristelnoses for as low as £1 each. Where about in the country are you? |

25 quid each!!!! they must be peppermint bristlenoses or another hard to breed variety, a common bn is nowhere near that much
