I don't understand why this is still going, as a buisness if you take a loss it is a write off. so if you lose fish you can write of the shipping (or portion there of) and cost of the fish so only loss is profit. In 4 years the highest I have seen a clown is 26.00 so am I to assume that this is the first time a clown has landed high in 4 years?

I'm not to sure about Big Al's(Because I don't shop there.), but the prices at Wai's are mighty high compared to others. I bought clowns there for $30.00 a peice(which never survived for some reason or another), and replaced them with ones that I picked up at Gold for 1/3 the price!
That's on one particular fish, the list goes on.

I agree that Wai's is often more expensive but I generally find the quality of live stock better than say Big Al's for instance. I have been happy with Gold's so far. Where else do you like to shop? I am always open to suggestions.

You could give Ocean Aquarium a shot. I have had some good results there.

I'll be the "I like Wai's guy," been shopping there for years. I like to support one store and I expect them to support me in return, and he does. Great customer service and great deals (discounts). I'm also not the type of guy to drive all over the city to save a couple of bucks.

I do check out the other stores all the time. Nate, at Big Al's has totally changed my view on that store he is great for the store and knows what he's talking about. Thanks Nate.

If I see a killer piece of live rock or something I need 'right now' at another store I'll buy it but if I can get it at Wai's I do.
