	Denison Barb
Brian1216 Hobbyist Posts: 97 Votes: 0 Registered: 28-Apr-2005	I was at my LFS yesterday and discovered this beautiful fish. The only downside is that they are 19.99 US dollars each!!! They are a schooling fish so that would surely put a dent in my wallet. Does anyone have them?

littlemousling Conchiform Posts: 5230 Registered: 23-Aug-2003	New research into the Denisonii's habitat is starting to show that at adulthood they're not schoolers, generally, so if you can find good-sized specimens it's probably OK to keep a pair. Gorgeous fish, aren't they? A number of people are working on breeding them; I hope someone succeeds soon. -Molly Visit shelldwellers.com!

ClownyGirl Fish Addict Posts: 508 Kudos: 311 Votes: 5 Registered: 07-Oct-2004	I have 4. Had 5, but the newest fellow passed away. I am thinking of giving them away because for some reason, I get paranoid they will konk off after a water change. They are extremely sensitive to chemicals in the water and so expensive, that you dont really want to be losing them. However, if I did have like loads of money, I would keep them, they are funny fish, and forever hungry :%)

So_Very_Sneaky Ultimate Fish Guru Posts: 3238 Kudos: 2272 Votes: 201 Registered: 10-Mar-2004	Actually 19.99 is a fabulous price for Denisoni Barbs. Recently I saw them at one pet store that wanted 46 CAD for them, or about $38 USD per fish Come Play Yahtzee With Me! http://games.atari.com Http://www.myleague.com/yahtgames
