I just bought three of them from Odyssey Pets in Plano. I believe they have a few left. They were $6 a piece.

Fish Paradise in Fort Worth south of 1-20 always has them.

Pet Boutique in Dallas usually has young SAE's and often at a good price, under $3.

At the price of gasoline to get to the fish store, the price of the fish doesn't make much difference anymore.

The other day I was at True Percula and fussed at them for having display tanks with items they don't sell, such as SAE's. I reminded them that they have a lot of plants and that people with plants will likely want SAE's. Those folks don't seem to get it that some of what they do sends people to other stores.

True Percula is owned by a reef tank guy. He doesn't really know a lot about freshwater tanks, much less plants. He had let his best plant guy go. Just recently they hired him back. Unfortunately the owner doesn't let the freshwater/plant guy make the freshwater/plant decisions. Weird huh?! It really frustrates me that they don't sell the plants in their tanks. So if you see it you might not be able to get it. It's not like all their tanks are planted pretty. They basically just hold the fish. I've watched beautiful plants rot in their fish tanks.

Yes, and I recently found out that the reason they sell non-aquatic plants is that they don't take the time to finish out the order so the wholesaler sends them @#$%. Some of the employees are getting frustrated.
