How much are your local fish shops charging for Denison barbs? Mine have a couple of bigger ones at £40 each! £20 each for the smaller size, rip off if you ask me, but a lovely fish all the same!
They're disappearing from their natural habitats rapidly so I think its a bit of a necessity to scare people away. Not that this will prevent them being imported however.
They are being commercially bred now, and taking them from the wild was made illegal, although it may still happen of course.
