DennisP Posted May 16, 2010 Report Share Posted May 16, 2010 I know it's a silly subject, but I need some ideas. I feel like buying some new fish today. I have 4 discus (the smallest one died this morning ) corys, and a whiptail. (plus some small things like ottos) My ghost knife is going on tuesday, and then I will buy neons, I'm going to buy a pair of blue rams one I can find a pair. Is there anything That I could add? I'm thinking about another discus or 2, but they're expensive so I will take my time in buying them. What should I buy!?

phoenix44 Posted May 16, 2010 Report Share Posted May 16, 2010 they are like $6.50 each i think if you buy 10. ring around and ask for specials and stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DennisP Posted May 16, 2010 Author Report Share Posted May 16, 2010 Why bother? $65 for 10 cardinals or $60 for 30 neons?! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phoenix44 Posted May 16, 2010 Report Share Posted May 16, 2010 I'm more hoping that the person selling you the fish will explore the fact that you have discus, and are thus running the tank at 28-30 degrees C. I've found neons tend to pop off at those temperatures. Definitely so at 30C. which is a real pity cause I lost 20 green neons in my last setup that ran at 30C.

DennisP Posted May 16, 2010 Author Report Share Posted May 16, 2010 And those 22 + 12 have cost you how much? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caryl Posted May 16, 2010 Report Share Posted May 16, 2010 Are you buying based on what you like, or what you want to pay? Neons do not compare when it comes between chosing them or cardinals. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DennisP Posted May 16, 2010 Author Report Share Posted May 16, 2010 Both, to me, I see no real difference/benefit between neons and cardinals, except cardinals get about .5cm bigger and have a little more red. And for 5 times the price, it really doesn't seem worth it. I will pay a lot for fish, but only if it is really worth it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DennisP Posted May 16, 2010 Author Report Share Posted May 16, 2010 pfft. People and money... It's not exactly a mystery. 7 x 34 = about $250. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DennisP Posted May 16, 2010 Author Report Share Posted May 16, 2010 But still. Recommendations please! Is there anything I've over looked? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
