I know, that's why I want to confirm if there are different origins.

Seems average for Edmonton area.

Maybe as low as $90. Never seen one any cheaper... Without boxing day sales.

I wonder... does anyone care enough to read signatures if you make them really small? I would not. I would probably moan and complain, read three words and swear once or twice. But since you made it this far, please rate my builds.

It is a price set up to get people in the store.

Also, I think when they get them at good price, they pass on the saving to the customers.

Was at ocean aq. the other day saw them also. As well as mystery wrasses. Asked about the price and she told me that their supplier offers these fish at lower prices than before, therefore she can lower the retail price.

Nice of them. While all others still sell in around $100.

I believe they had helfrichi firefish for $50 as well.

If your thinking aout getting one make sure you have a tight cover on your tank. I had an all glass top with only one hole for the return line. Even at $50 that's still an expensive piece of jerky to find on the floor.
