thanks for the nice comments guys and girls, yeah the price of fronties has come down alot, thats a good thing for people love fronties or want to get some for the first time, there is still some people out there that still want a million dollars for them though

yeah, when i bought my pair 3.5 years ago i paid $55 each for 4cm ones, now from the same store i can get 8cm for $20.
hopefully this will attract more people into the hobby, bunbury lacks aquarists.
