Personally Gold is my favorite shoppe, Wai's probably has everything you would ever realistically want,his corals are probably the prettyest(is that a word?) but are pricey. Oceans has really made some positive changes, and has reasonable prices (I have yet to buy something from there though), Big Al's is pretty good for a chain in my opinion, however I have gotten some questionable advise there before. Their corals tend to be high priced, but the fish etc are competitive.

I like Big Al's always very good to me. I did by a bleaching brain from there that ended up dying, and of their last shipment of fish I bought a purple Psyduchromis that unfortunatley had ick.. then I made the mistake of dosing my tank with nox-ick and have lost my xenia, and my hammer is struggling... but that is another story for another day :(

Gold's usually has a good selection of stock in (if you can get there early enough) and really good prices on coral and fish. Oceans is good as well on stock and prices usually. Wai's has a large selection or Corals but they're a bit pricey. Big Al's I find is a crap shoot... sometimes they have good stock but they're usually overpriced...

Ive been through Gold for discus when I was setting up my pairs and didnt look at their SW stock. I have heard good things apparently they'ra rays are eating pellets so they gotta be doing somthing good. Albert you probally know Bruce from tropical fish imports in lethbridge. Every time i am down there thats all he talks about is the pellet eating ray.

Oh, yeah, I set him up with a whole whack of quality Africans a month or so ago.

Yes he still has those. Unfortunaly he couldnt get the 7 bar frontosas to eat and has 1 left :( but the calvus are looking great.

Weird, those were captive bred in store.

Ya it was but the guy threw them in with some 1 inch peacocks so it doesnt surprize me. :rolleyes:
