Woo! $7 Roseline Sharks!

I just scored 3 of them at $6.99 each from Petsmart!! I've been looking every week at a few different PetSmarts around town since this thread started, and imagine my surprise when I finally saw about 7 of them swimming around in a tank! They said they'll be carrying them this quarter. Now I have a total of 6. 3 were $20 each, 3 were $7 each. :)

:huh:Why would anyone pay that much for such a lame looking little fish? Am I missing something? Looks like a run of the mill tetra to me, maybe I have untrained eyes?

name a tetra that gets over 5" LOL
 
PetSmarts are rotating in 6 or 7 new species every 3 months as part of their "special buy" program. As far as I know, the species each individual store brings in depends upon the distributor that services them, thus the special buy fish will vary by region. Seems like each set of these fish, however, is set and does not vary regardless of location, so if some stores have roseline sharks right now, others will likely have them at some point in the forthcoming year. My local PetSmarts just got their new stock in, and it's the same as every other store I've seen in this state.. blue rams (yay!), kribs, emporer tetras, albino chery barbs, blue tetras, julii cories, and clown knives. But they alternated the bristlenose plecos out before I could get a couple.. they were only $5 a piece! :(
 
Sure be nice for our PetSmarts to carry different stock. Same ole Same ole here.

Nice find!
 
My Petsmart got the $7 roselines in and I bought all 6 they had. Cool fish, was psyched to get them for that price. Also saw the GBR, kribs, dwarf neon bows, emperor tetras, and other various new species.
 
Thats awesome! Th cheapest I found them were at my LFS for $14
