![]() I like going to Ocean Creations, every time I am there I here someone ask a price for something, then when I leave I ask the price & it's always lower then what I just heard him tell the other person.

![]() Let the rant begin: Pisces is stupid expensive, but a nice environment and full of knowledgeable employees. Big Al's is also expensive and pretty boring for the most part. Wai's is full of sick fish and run down. I like Ocean Creation, no clue what the owner is saying most of the time. I also like red coral, the owner kevin will order you most stuff in since he doesn't have room for tons of stuff in the first place. Riverfront's saltwater section is kind of sad...
I think i'll stick with J&L for now |

![]() Even JL is over priced for live goods. I find pretty good deals all over calgary. Pisces is over priced but they order in some rare stuff and because of the price it sits in the tank which allows me a chance to buy it before all you hoggs that live in calgary get it.
I will say my favorite store is Gold's always nice fish and good prices. One thing I have noticed, and im not the only one, more important than prices is quality coral. Its been a while since I have walked through a store and stopped because of a nice Acro or Acan. I think the last time was some Acans and an Efflo at Big Al's and before that was some SPS frags in the Red Coral tank. Thats in a 1 year span.

![]() Big Als is Very overpriced. Ive found that kevin at red coral is pretty tolerable to price change, willing to negotiate. Golds has the BEST CHEAP FRAGS ever. 15$. 2 days ago I purchased to acan frags. What they call frags are worth 80$ at big als.
Golds and Red Coral for best prices. Ocean Creations (formerly city) Wai's for the most mature coral, but the prices are... pricey? haha. |
