Couldn't agree more with you bro. Due to this, there are not much suppliers willing to bring the rarer species/ fishes into the market.

That's a nice piece of ornate you got. Your water also play a very important factor in bring out the colour.

I have to agree with this. If you want nice fish, get ready to pay the price.

I have heard from a LFS that 1 of his customers came to her shop and complain that he paid $100 for a del, while another person can get it for only $18. He feel kana ketok by the shop who sell him the del.

Nobody force him to buy it, he can dun buy if he find too expensive. Why in the first place did he buy the del then? Some people are really funny.
