Rainbow starting with Bosemani .
I paid $14.00 for a two inch fish.

Yeah, but every single rainbow fish I've seen at Petsmart has really mild
coloration. I guess they get them from breeders that don't have really good
stock. It's best to get rainbows either from reputable breeders or wild-caught.

The only fish I've ever purchased there were feeder goldfish to cycle the
pond outdoors.

True... on mine, they are weak colors at best... we have a nicer place, that
DID charge $20 per... now they are more like $15 but they DO have some nicer
specimens...
