They look cool and are cheap.

I have never seen those, but they look really interesting.

[micki]

I thought the same thing.

Sweet!! Those are awesome!! If anyone gets some in locally I'd be interested in a few.  Hint Hint!!

[micki]

They are only $1.99 from live aquaria.  I wonder what the shipping would be?  Maybe a few of us could go together and split shipping if there's interest. 

[ohioreef]

I suspect shipping would be atrocious, especially this time of year.

[micki]

Could be, but maybe not.    I'll check into it later.

they are not in stock, Live aquaria shipping is never that bad.  $34.99 I think...fairly average.  I think their LR shipping is high or used to be

[micki]

Hmmmm, I didn't look to see if they were in stock. LOL  I'll keep watch for them.  For the price they are I don't think the shipping is that bad.  Unless we can get them locally...  Uhmmmm Joel??? 

[REDPYRO]

probably an item they rarely stock.  Out of stock stuff on live aquaria is usually seasonal or hard to get

[micki]

Which means they may be very hard to keep as well.  Oh well...

I have had them before, I get them from Hawaii. As I recall they are only available in the summer months. The last time I had they they were about 6 bucks or so. They are algae eaters and do well if there is an abundance of algae to feed on.

I'll ask but I'm pretty sure it'll be mid summer before they are available again.

[micki]

Thanks Joel.  I wonder if I would even have enough algae for them to live on.
