Want to buy the following fish, who is familiar with MR vendors that match online pricing?
I want:
Blond Naso Small
Green Mandarin
Blue Mandarin
Watchman Goby
2 Purple dart fish
Purple dotty back
2 Sand sifting star fish
Maybe a small adult queen angel, maybe?going to see a 120 tank this weekend, if I can get a deal on the tank alone, I will be (very slowly) building a stand and canopy and hopefully converting my 65 into a 48? 120 gallon but not taking on the project unless I get a deal on the drilled tank so the Queen is not certain but I want the price.
I am considering 2 sites, live aquaria and blue zoo. I love live aquaria but blue zoo has lower minimum for free shipping. Been a customer of live aquaria for 7 years never a problem getting credit for dead stuff.
Last week I purchased 10 frags, visited 7 people from MR and 1 from Craigslist. What I learned is that there are many people using the ?getting out? head line to hook you in and sell you over priced frags. I went to 3 homes that instead of getting out was steered right to the frag tanks to consider overpriced frags, not nice guys, not nice at all. Feeding people the ORA line and the RARE line and the EXCLUSIVE line is not nice, wanting to charge more than stores is not cool, some may bite but that is not nice.
Anyhow, I ended up buying frags from most people after all I drove to these places but most will not be seeing repeat business from me, some will.
Now I want fish, to support MR vendors, who knows which fish vendors match online pricing?
Please no PM?s from folks wanting to sell me their fish at store prices or higher. I can get a 2 week live guarantee and free shipping for that kind of hassle. If you have fish you need to sell and can price them 30% to 50% cheaper than stores then I will gladly go to your house for fish?
Sorry for the long post but I learned my lesson last week, I sell reasonable and look to purchase reasonable.

I have had bluezoo screw me multiple times. I have purchased a fish online from them, and then the next day they call an say "we dont have that fish, but we have...", and since i purchased other fish/inverts with those orders, I did not cancel the order....but I should have.

flame angel 2.5 inch

I know u didn't mention flame angel but I thought I throw it out there. I've had him for 2 weeks, I bought it from live aquaria. I qt him for a week with another fish put him in my dt and my coral beauty chased him till he could'nt barely move so I put him in my fuge. I paid $40 but I'll let him go for $30.

Thanks for the offer...

Problem is that I am in NJ, if I buy it with tolls it no longer becomes a deal.
