WTB Barbs - Looking for nice color

[pyroman9]

Hey all! I am doing a barb themed tank.
I have:
Rosy Barb, Black Ruby Barb, and some other tan and black striped barb.

My LFS has Tiger barb, gold barb, cherry barb, green tiger barbs, albino barbs.. I plan on getting all of these, but am hoping i can get ones that are a little bigger and a little more colorful. As we know most LFS's do not have fish with amazing color.

Let me know what ya got I am looking for any barbs that will remain pretty small (so no tinfoil barbs). I have paypal. Please post pics. I would want 3-6 of each fish.

I have two tiger barbs that I am wanting to get rid of?

barbs are usually stressed in the stores.
Once you take them home, feed them a good variety of foods, they will grow and color up quickly.

redline barbs?

I had checkerboard barbs for a while (none for sale, sorry, just an idea). They started out very pale at the store, but inside a month, the black checks filled in, with little splashes of gold and amber. Actually very nice looking fish, and peaceful compared to Tigers.

+1 Frank's Aquarium! Wish I had the means and space to order a bunch of fish from there.

Redline barbs are expensive, they are around 12-16 dollars i would believe?
