Dana Posted January 11, 2023 Share Posted January 11, 2023 Happy New Year everyone! Today I ordered Greg Sage's Odessa Barbs and they should ship later this week. I got a group of 6 and he includes and extra. They will be 2-4 months old and probably unsexed. I've got a 10 gallon set up for quarantine and he is also sending a Bolbitis plant that they use for cover. Has anyone had experience with these fish, any advice? Am totally excited, happy fish keeping in 2023! Will attach a photo when they arrive. :) 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anjum Posted January 11, 2023 Share Posted January 11, 2023 No experience with them but I'd totally keep them if I could keep all the fish I wish I could 😂 The co-op has them currently & I was admiring them there the other day. Look forward to seeing them in your tank! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mynameisnobody Posted January 11, 2023 Share Posted January 11, 2023 @Dana I’ve bought Odessa’s from Greg and it’s an experience. His email replies are lengthy and it’s a glimpse into the time and effort he puts into these fish. This experience is unlike any other fish buying experience, IMO. Get ready for the most beautiful, healthy fish. They don’t fin nip, they just dart around and act pretty. It’s literally one of my fave barbs, but only if it’s Greg’s line. Enjoy, enjoy, enjoy! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twood Posted March 27, 2023 Share Posted March 27, 2023 Hi @Dana - hope the barbs are doing well! I was thinking about getting some of these from Select Aquatics. How are they doing? Did you have a good experience? Would love to see any pictures of the fish! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dana Posted March 28, 2023 Author Share Posted March 28, 2023 Hi Twood...I had a fantastic experience! Greg Sage is such a wonderful and caring person for his fish, he has great customer service. He even checked in after they arrived, and he reimbursed me money for shipping that he overcharged (from a flat fee)! They were well packed and all arrived in great condition...they still are growing and coloring up, and doing well! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
