Yes, I consider it alot of money. If you are buying them to cycle with(which he made clear that he is not)it is alot of money. Buy 6 for $36.00 and possibly lose half. If you dont mind wasting $18.00 then send the money to me. I will spend it wisely.............
 
36 dollars is not alot of money for 6 or 7 congo tetras.... I bought 3 petricola catfish for 60.00 and then, later, from a breeder and bought 10 for 60.00.

I cycled my tank with a Golden Nugget pleco, and not one fish died except a few of the male (not female) neon rainbow fish. Females did fine.
 
If my LFS advised me to cycle with $6.00 ea fish, I would quicly exit the establishment. I think most people on this forum would do the same. (at least the ones that cycle with fish) Think about what your saying man. This makes no sense.

Also, it IS alot of money to me. As I stated twice before. I did not ask you if it was alot of money to you. It was a subjective comment. Get it?
 
I said I cycled my tank..well not really. I "cycled" with ammonia, then when it was right, added the fish
 
You wouldn't want to risk $36,sounds like alot,i could buy 36 days worth of feeders.
