Post by heartagramette »

Does anyone know the usual cost of one of these cuties and what kind of plants they prefer(if any)

In the UK at least, around £8-12.

As far as plants go, they're midwater fish, so the only plants they really appreciate are ones that offer overhead shade, e.g., floating plants. Other types of plants will be "explored" while they're foraging, so use whatever tall plants you want.

Interesting. When I saw them in the store here they were $7. For once, Canada is cheaper for something!
It is absurd to talk of one animal being higher than another. We consider those, when the cerebral structure/intellectual faculties most developed, as highest. A bee doubtless would when the instincts were.
