Coral Red Pencilfish

[FishLover66]

Hi all. Since I lost most of my neons to ick/treatement, I've been looking into some other small SA schooling fish. Since I typically prefer something 'different or unusual' I did a little digging and came across the Coral Red Pencilfish. I've heard they are hard to get and very expensive, so they might have to wait, but I LOVE them. Anyone have any experience with them?

... of course, that is "accurate" as in when they last updated their stocklists, when they uploaded them, etc. There will be other places.

I've never saw them around here-even at a LFS who has very rare and unusual fish. I found them online at some fish bidding website and they were 6 for $60!! Not including shipping of course. CRAZY expensive.
