<rant mode on>
The local big box stores charge between a 100% and 150% mark up for what I am looking for. In addition the staff know almost nothing about what they sell. When they do have livestock that I want, it is in the 'sorry we only sell that to our friends' tanks. <rant mode off> The local specialty stores, love them though I do, don't carry the products I am looking to buy (and if you bothered to read any of my other posts you would see I do buy a lot from them as is) and the livestock they carry is above my skill level or not something they can afford to carry.

Several times I've placed orders for livestock and been told the fish is not instock. The fish on the site is just a list of the fish they can get in, other than the new and noteworthy. It's a good store for dry goods

The other members have graciously offered to pay in advance so I am the ambassador for the buy.

The order sheet is in from J&L and sent to your e-mail accounts. Let me know what you want to keep/delete and I will submit the final order for Wednesday morning. Payment needs to be received by Wednesday evening.

Thanks Charles for organizing/collecting/transporting the order. Great job!
For anyone looking at ordering from J&L: quality was good but sizes were small. The price advantage isn't that much better when you factor in the size and the fact you don't get to see the individuals first. The clownfish are beautiful. Crisp markings, good color. I think from ORA. The procelain crabs both had one claw missing. I think they will give up their arms as a defence mechanism. I didn't see the claws in the bag so must have been earlier. I believe they grow back. Ordered 3 but only 2 arrived. The snails and hermit crabs all seemed healthly though we'll need to see how they do over the next 24 hours.
