Found a whole bunch today on my LFS tripping.
 But didn't buy any. My FW tank needs a workover before I put any new fish in there. I might pick up a few after that which gives me time to save up for them. Wow, you guys aren't kidding when you said they're pricey.

They were selling at $20 each at the one store that had them.

I have 5!! I had my previous 5 die to ich when introduced by other fish!
They do better in a longer tank!! My first group of 5 all got to be about 5.5 inches!! And they are lightning fast!! I have seen themfrom anywhere between 25 and 80 bucks also these are not barbs!! They have be reclassified ! Hey are Now called puntias dennisonii. I did a bunch of research a while back when I was thinking of breeding them!! When I did the research the only thing I could find on breeding was that their was no recorded case of this in Captivity!! I think has changed tho as they are far more readilly available now!

ElGuappo is right.... I remember hearing about the reclassification! Good catch!
Tony - $20+ seems to be pretty average price for them in pet stores. Up here... from 1.5-3" they seem to cost anywhere from 20-40 each.

This fish is such unethical buy. It's pretty much the same situation as the Bangaii Cardinal, only there is no grassroots hobbyist movement to rectify the situation.
