I just saw some on aquabid a couple hours ago. I was REALLY tempted to get some, but I don't have room. I wanna say they were around $5 each.

What a beatuiful fish. I have never seen any before either. If I remember right Aquarium Warehouse had black tetra's. Not sure if they are the same thing, just saw it on the web page.   Don't hate me if I'm wrong.
