I don't find many on the used ads are great deals in my area as they are always priced a little less than brand new, plus I don't know what they put in there in the past. I have had luck though buying the display or discontinued tank model's at eg Big Al's and other stores when they come up...
I was thinking to find a club, but none can be found only several hours away. I may yet join as I do enjoy the group buying and auctions if they still do that kind of thing. Thanks for reminding me.
I got the photo example from Florida museum here. The green sailfin Mollie also lovely.
I really enjoy the scientific illustrations they used to have in the old books

Was curious do they even breed and sell the wild colors of most livebearers.
I have never seen them available at fish stores.
I always wanted a pair of green swordtail from looking at the old aquarium books when I was a child.
I find the wild colors have a humble beauty and it's ashame that...
Watching guppies swim is like watching somebody trying to swim with a wedding dress on.
Actually goes for any unnaturally long finned fish.
Gives me anxiety.😬
