    PetsMart Greek (Golden?)

    1. I got my first two at $79.99 and went back and got price adjustments on the three I bought last week and bought another this evening. Hopefully I will have two nice breeding groups. 2. Fecal exams are needed. Once the float is prepared you can see the eggs, larvae, and worms clearly in...

    Rogue, Sorry to hijack your post with my pictures. My females are 7-7.5 inches. Pretty good size for PetsMart. I can not wait for winter to end and to get them outside and hopefully breed.
