In praise of the common Harlequin rasbora

Hi
the shop where I saw the 2000 cardinals was not an aquarium but a reptile dealer lol. Mostly set up for his own personal tank Imagine trying to capture the in a 10 foot tank!!?? Amassing a large number of any species would be along term task alone.
I'd bet money I' could not locate 500 of any one specie within a 100 mile radius. That would mean getting small groups into the quarentine tank then into the display tank then waiting to see what happen/losses whatever Then doing it again and again. lol Pretty hefty investment even at a buck each ?? lol I know this guy imported directly from a source in Brazil and ,though he wouldn't tell for sure I feel that he got them for under 20 cents each plus shipping transportation blah blah blah
was the most memorable display I've evr seen and I've visited several wholesalers in Miami. lol
I think this is a very worthwhile goal far more interesting long term over the usual community tank??? gary
