Can anyone tell me what black moors go for at your LFS? I haven't really checked since I have never planned on keeping goldies inside and these guys woulden't make it through a Michigan winter, but I saw them liveaquaria and they have them listed really high. I figured like $7ea. maybe?
Anyway, that's just curiosity, but I just got a couple with a tank I bought (30 or 32gal, have to check which, NICE setup with everything, extras, and tons more for $20, I coulden't resist, and my brother in law's tank sprung a leak, so I am giving my 29gal to replace it), so anyone who has any insight to share. I know the needs of these fish (no sharp objects, not using a net to move them, blah blah blah) but since I have never REALLY kept fancy goldies before, if you have any tips or comments that might help, feel free to list them!
I thought I would hate them, I'm not fond of the fat fish look and I really don't like the telescoping eye thing, but they are kinda cute, and they do have cute little personalities, I was planning on keeping them inside untill late spring, then putting them out in the pond untill early fall and then getting rid of them, but we'll see what happens, I think my mom will like them and end up wanting them LOL.
Also, they are believed to be a (m/f) pair, and judging by what I have read, they will spawn with large numbers, so what are the chances of this happening? I mean, having 2 isn't too bad, but I'm not sure I want 1000 of the little hammerheads! LOL
