The $1000 was for several boxes, but the fish and corals cost far less than the actual shipping/handling charges. They also charge far higher than bank exchange rates and that can quickly add up too. My numbers are accurate as of yesterday, not two years ago.


Suddenly the store changes from $1000/box to multiple boxes.

Thats believable, 3 boxes can easily be $1000 worth of shipping and fees.

As for the Purple tangs I am doubtful they are loosing money on them otherwise they wouldnt sell it for that price. Its one of the more successful shops in town, I dont think they are in it to loose.
