i am curious at what you pay for a neon tetra? maidenhead near me try to mugg people off by charging 2 pound a neon! haha.

I went to a cheapy shop nearby yesterday and bought 48 neons. theyre 50p a fish! Also zebra danios are the same price so i blagged some of them too!

Good value for money but the water looks like it just came from my toilet!

Just wondering on local prices to people and how much the lfs tries to con! ....

My local Maidenhead Aqautics do different deals depending what size the neon is (but there is very little difference in the sizes).

I am pretty sure if you buy more than 10 neons there its about 60p each

saying that though black clown knifes are 27.95 here and same size fish i've seen in other shops for 8.95

my local aquatic centre (shoots formerly known as kiln nurseries) is the pits when it coems to fish. everything is super over prices

A FISH IS FOR LIFE NOT JUST FOR CHRISTMAS , AND AT THE PRICES THEY SELL THEM FOR NO BL__DY WONDER .LOL

Don't seem to matter whether I pay £1 or £2.

They last about a 2 weeks.

They either totally dissapear one by one, or one seperates itself from the pack & dies, & they slowly all follow suit.

Its the one species of cheap fish that I can't seem to keep alive.

Maybe I'll get a few stuffed & throw them in my tank. lol

In fact they work out bloody expensive for me.

I can spend a tenner on them & they last a week!

It would cost me £520 to keep 10 for a year!

Bloody expensive.

why dont you take a picture of them in the local lfs ,go home expand the picture stick to the tank and walk to the other end of the room ( or if you were me take my glasses off and stay next to the tank and look.towards the tank great big shoal cost nothing to puchase never dies never have to feed , never pollute the tank ,jobs a good un ( you can even send pictures here of them ,how will we know its just a picture in a picture --if you know what I mean .
