I bought them on theplantedtank.net. You have to be a member. I think they were $2.00 + $6.00 shipping. I bought two along with some dwarf crayfish and Thai mini crabs from msjinkzd.com. I love them.
:( Aww. They are great little fish. I love watching their little feelers/pectoral fins. Sometimes they will meet each other and almost look like they are shaking fins. I did lose one the other day though so now I only have a pair.
Good luck.....injecting CO2 is one thing I have never done and most likely never will. The natural CO2 that my systems create is plenty for the species of plants I grow.....but it does limit me on species of plants-but not much.
Congratulations. It's always gratifying to hear of successes. Why don't you write up a synopsis of your experience. A lot of new members could benefit greatly.
