Anyone interested in a J&L group buy in Calgary?

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.

I do agree on the sizes mostly. The yellow clown goby was pico sized, not nano the clown green goby was closer to actual size. Clean up and shrimp seemed close to the size in local stores and as said will see how they do over the next while.

Only potential issue was the gobies wanting to perch on the torch coral.

well my order is home and all unpacked and in the tank.... great job organizing and taking care of the livestock.

The nassarius snails are Super small..... I thought they would be bigger but they burrowed into the sand so.... I guess for a buck what can you expect. Might have been nice to know they were the really small ones....

I have one death...... I put a sexy shrimp into the tank and he jumped right into the mouth of the tube anemone. It was super fast and all I could do was gasp..... I laughed after a few minutes. I guess thats how it happens in nature.

I'll give a report in a week or so, for how everything is doing.....
