I haven't priced one lately but my guess is $40 - $90 depending on size .

Thank you....well it falls in the high end of this pricing. She's smallish (2.5-3 inches), but not teeny. They had some really small babies but wasn't comfortable taking one that small as all my fish are quite a bit bigger and was concerned a tiny one would get picked on or just hide in the rocks and not eat.

I bought a tiny tiny one from ocean for $42 or something. It used to school with chromis but was eaten by my maxi mini

That's awesome!!

Ok, so maybe the price was not sooooo bad. I like to feed right after adding fish and she had quite the appetite

. She's also pretty fat already and no issues with the other fish...Well my sailfin is raising her fins at her but no chasing.

And she's gorgeous when she does it too! Oceans had some little sailfins as well, even a yellow one. Mine eats from my hand.

Yah saw those. I was there today evening. I think you are the lady who brought in the fish who was getting picked?

No that wasn't me. No one in the store when I was there, I think someone came in as I was paying tho, didn't see who.
