It’s in the Market Village plaza, on the second floor.

Price was around $5 for each.

I recently returned to Maidenhead aquatics, where I got my danios from (for free) and they have more than doubled the price! They’ve gone from £10 for 4 to £25 for 4! & they didn’t have many left either. Glad I got them when I did or they may not have been so generous.

at paws for thought in leeds/ where i got mine they were £1.99 each or 5 for £9 in march, now they are £2.50 each, or 5 for £11. maidenhead aq. are robbers!!! all the more incentive for us lot to breed them. it seems as predicted that demand is higher than supply as they should be relying on captive bred sources now and leaving the lake alone. good luck everyone!

Actually, it’s an issue at the source. At least some exporters have completely stopped shipping them from their origin in Myanmar/Burma due to the worry of them being so threatened in the wild. (I don’t know if it’s a countrywide/government restriction, or a more localised one bysiness by business)

The LFS I work in (in California, USA) had 4 in for a couple months–I took them home myself, and asked my boss to get me 2 more, as what I have is 3m, 1f and I wanted 2 more girls. Turns out, NONE of the wholesalers in Northern California are able to get galaxies/CPD’s anymore, as none of *their* suppliers are exporting the animal anymore until the situation in the wild is better understood.I don’t know how this is in other countries, or even in the rest of the US, but it is part of the increase in price.

It’s also an incredibly good thing, in terms of preventing the extinction of this pretty little animal at the hands of the aquarium trade.
