Before you pay
- Eating Ask what it eats and when it last ate. A feeding video is better.
- Settled A fish that just arrived is stressed, and treating or shipping it again too soon can kill it.
- Current photos From the side and from above, in good light. For morphs, see the eye and the skin.
- The build Your first tank is the one you use while you build the real one. Plan for the adult tank from day one.
What they cost
Black juveniles run about $22 to $40; platinums about $295 to $1,400 and are usually sold out (US sellers, 2026).
Our stocklist
Stocklist No. 1 is coming. Black and platinum juveniles, each settled and eating before it ships, each sold with its own photos so the fish in the picture is the fish in the bag. Leave an email to hear when it opens.
