Any freshwater keepers here?

[forddna]

Just wondered if any of you kept freshwater fish, and if you did, where do you shop for them? Marine Warehouse is all over the map on their prices..some are very fair, others are outrageous. Fish World seems fair, but that's about all I can shop for there..they don't stock much more than just livestock.

I'm not out to find the cheapest fish, but the healthiest fish at the most fair prices.

Thanks!

I'm still working on a stock list, but here are some of the possibilities:

Congo Tetra (6-8 of them, maybe more - $9.99 at MW)
Burmese Loach (2-3 - $12.99 at MW)
Bristlenose Pleco (1 and not sure which variety)
Corydora (4, but no particular ones..I like them all. Probably Julii)
Dwarf Rainbow (6-8 - $9.99 at MW)

The loaches and corys I will be getting, for sure.

I also need probably 2 more bags of Eco Complete substrate.

Mystic Marine..it's west of Little Road, right? That's a haul.

i hope i dont get flamed for this, but Petmart had decent freshwater choices and they do have SW. As far as their care and maintenance goes for saltwater, i'm not sure cause i havnt been in the store for more then a year.
