I know that BA doesn't always/usually have the healthiest fish, but oddly enough, every fish that I've personally gotten from them has done very well vs all of the fish I've gotten from the other store in town that "quarantines" their livestock.

Anyway, not plugging Big Al's or anything. Just saying that $90 is indeed a good price for these fish if it is indeed $90. I do hope that they all find good homes though as they are beautiful fish that aren't often found at your LFS.

Good for you, I know many people have good luck there, I guess I'm not one of them. I do get my inverts and salt there.

i've had fairly good luck, except for one tang with ick. i don't find their prices that bad on somethings, but yes, somethings there are overpriced.

That's why I have found it is healthy to practice good quarantining techniques for all new additions for at least 30days (sucks I know but pays off) before it ever enters the main tank. That way it gives the new fish time to adjust to you, no stress & to not have to compete for food during this time. But also gives you time to take a look for any sign of disease that might show up and then you can treat as needed before an outbreak occurs. It also insures the safety of your tank mates in your main tank resulting in healthier, happier, long lived fish.

Did I also forget to mention it saves you from future stress too? Nothing more stressful IMO, then a tank full of your favourite fish that are hanging on for their life from adding a new addition that infected everyone.

So if you practice good quarantining techniques, who cares where you buy it from. As long as you make smart choices of choosing one thats healthy, make sure its eating (Ask the LFS to show you) and has no torn fins, doesn't breath lethargic, is not pale in color, doesn't lay on bottom of tank its in or shows any sign of disease, than I say.....

GO FOR IT!


Happy Reefing!

Hey no worries Danny. We all have done it. I know myself I have gone through it way too many times. Patience is the hardest thing in this hobby. I fight with it myself

*HUGS*

Now that this thread has been highjacked...the Bellus Angel, I bought one and it's in the Q.T. right now and has already been eating. After researching the fish, B.A. is the cheapest price I saw on the internet.

Yea big difference in price between a Lamark. They're a good price and one of my favorite angels. I'm still waiting for a Wantanabei angel if anyone sees one let me know.
