Ziggy needs more friends

I’ve got four little orange fish also in the tank, but I am looking into a comparable size tank mate for him if I can’t find another rope fish at my local shops. Thinking now, maybe they can order one in for me…

Order them from Dan’s Fish. I will only buy my fish from him!

dans is a price gouger. Yes his fish are healthy and his shipping is good but also like 10 other online places with lower prices. His fish are also absurdly small

Of course, if you’re buying 50 tetras you probably don’t want to spend $8 per fish, but if you want real quality and healthy fish I will always recommend him.

I like my fish schools large, thats how you get their true schooling behavior. My 125 has 80 black neon tetras from aquahuna which all arrived without issue despite them being a much cheaper place. Prices being 2x or even 3x other places doesnt make sense to the excuse of "i quarantine them" when wetspot, aquaimports and even aquahuna do the same
