Lots of neat looking fish. My LFS had the "galaxy rasboras" recently, but they labeled them as Celestial Danios. When I googled both names, the same pictures came up... One place they were listed for about $4 a fish, while at my LFS they were near $10! That's a lot of money for something so little. Sure are cute, though.
I was at Frank's yesterday, picked up six Celestial Pearl Danios - great fish, beautiful, active, fun to watch - but I'm kicking myself for not picking up some Phoenix Rasboras also. I didn't realize CPDs were so small, otherwise I would have added some Phoenix Rasboras without having to worry about overcrowding my 29g community. P.S. Frank is a great guy to deal with, cares about fish. He asked about my current stock before selling me the CPDs, he wanted to make sure none of my fish had mouths big enough to swallow them.
