(L129) for £14 each sounds like a bargain, especially if they are nearly fully grown - are you planning to buy a group, or just a single fish?

I got a group of for £15 each, and the reason I got that price was that I knew the shop wanted to get rid of them, and I bought the remaining stock that the shop had - they were listed at £25 each.

Other than saying that the price is good or not so good, we can't really advice you on what you should buy, as that's mainly a case of "what you like", and what you think will be right in your tank. And of course, what is available to you.

Absolutely. Locally here, are about £40 or more, and I know where small-medium sized ones are about £20, assuming they really are what the label says, then it's a very good price.
