I will be wanting to purchase about 20 neon tetras within the next month and I am just getting some ideas on who/where to purchase from. Anyone here selling them?

ALL of my LFS suck badly and I barely even like going into them to buy food, never will I buy fish. I prefer to get everything here or an online source.
This sale lasts until the 31 and once again my store is terrible and I wouldn't buy fish there if I had to, hence that is why i am asking here. Thanks for the heads up though
Logging off! Gotta get to Petco!I know this advice doesn't work for you, but perhaps for others viewing this thread.
It's certainly worth, IME, finding a good LFS and buying fish from them. I have had nothing but so, so results from PetCo, PetsMart, and the like. 5 fish for $5 and 2 or 3 of them live - no real bargain there. On the other hand, I bought 18 cardinals from the LFS (6 at a time - 3 times) a little over a year ago. All 18 are still alive. PetCo, etc most likely won't produce those kinds of results.
Granted, some may have no choice - but if you can find a good LFS it's certainly worth your time.
Just my two cents worth ...
I actually have two that are both about a half hour away and both are also equal in being terrible. There is one about an hour and a half away that is good but seeing as how I have no license it's not always easy to get there. I just prefer doing everything online as far as my purchasing goes
Thanks for the advice thoughat a buck a piece, and i believe a 2 week guarantee, beside a trip back with dead fish in a bag, what do you have to lose? i bought 10 a month ago, one died. out of the 20+ i got, 5 died. probably my fault. most of them were pretty large, but the smallest ones died from fear of being lunch for my angels. every now and then i saw half a neon sticking out of an angels mouth then getting spat out and swimming away. they get along great now
