Hypothetically........

5years ago fish cost me $5, I sold that fish for $10
Today same fish cost me $12, I sell that same fish for $14


Profit marging has gone the way of the Dodo bird..... the prices are abit higher for the retail customer, the prices have skyrocketed for the wholesaler/store, except for the big money fish such as display specemins, where for some reason the market has driven the price down, I think they should be $400+ again, mabey then some folks would take better care of them.....
