Default Please Help Me Decide On A Store Quick

Hey,
I am heading to calgary and I dont know what stores to visit. I was thinking of hitting up Wai's and golds. Does anyone know what their stock levels are like right now, what their prices are like, and when they get their orders?

Actully i believe there stock arrives thrusdays that is why they are closed on thursdays. Golds has lots of good corals there at the moment, and with all the frags there doing you should be able to find stuff there pretty steadily. Fish though are a different story. Wais is good for fish, but can get a little pricey. Big als has TONs of fish in right now.

I heard to stay away from big als they are kinda like pet cetera a grave yard for fish. I am just looking for some black percs, a skunk cleaner for a friend and some small zoo's, mushrooms, and toadstool leather frags. Nothing big and pricey. I just want somthing small.

Heck even if i could meet up with somone who has some assorted little frags they could sell me i would be happy.

I have to agree i have never had any problems at all with live stock from Big Al's. Went there last night and it looks as though they recently got a shipment in. Some nice fish and pricing isnt too bad!

Out of all the fish i have bought, big als is the only store that i have never lost a fish from. And to compare it to petcetera is just rediculus (sp?).

Why not phone these places and just ask them what they have in and what you're looking for ?
