Where y’all buying fish

[aslmx]

I’m restarting my 120 and I need some more fish so where’s everyone buying fish? Anywhere local or does everyone just order online?

Been looking for something new also, online prices seem to still be high.

LFS occasionally but over last 2-3 months , I have not.
I REFUSE TO PAY THE PRICES THAT ARE CURRENTLY OUT THERE AND APPALLED AT PRICES OF CERTAIN FISH IN WHICH AS AN EXAMPLE :
mandarin goby from $ 18.99 to $40
Yellow tang from $24.99 to $60/$80
Firefish goby from $8.99 to $24.99/$29.99
Purple tang from $59.99 to $169

I'M A V E R Y PATIENT PERSON AND WILL WAIT A YEAR IF I HAVE TO. I REFUSE TO PAY ANY OF THESE ESPECIALLY SINCE I KNOW MOST WHOLESALE FIGURES AS I OWNED A FULL LINE PET STRE FOR QUITE A FEW YEARS . I RESPECT MARK UPS AND DO NOT THROW WHOLESALE IN ANY PROPRIETER'S FACE BUT I ALSO RECOGNIZE HUGE MARKUPS WHEN A STORE IS STRUGGLING.
And I do not buy this crap about shipping going up. I experienced rise in shipping prices when i was in business and I can safely say when Two boxes cost $40 more and you have 35 fish total in the order . . . . . Thats an increase of $1.20 per fish- not $30 to $40. . . . But nice one- NICE TRY.

Check Saltwaterfish.com. They have a few fish on sale and they change daily.

I'd wait unless you can buy them from a private seller. Prices are insane atm.

Swf.com has a Naso for $35. I have been wanting another active swimming tang. Has anyone had a good experience ordering a Naso online?

 

[Cole.mormon]

Yes. Naso is a good tang but do ne careful when acclimating. Drip acclimate for 2 hours

I was in aquatic cove a couple weeks ago and they had a good selection.

Look into TSM Aquatics, I have order two batches from them and have been extremely happy. Very helpful and great customer service.
