Next time I'm in Calgary I'll have to check out Pisces by the looks of things, if I don't get one before. Thank you for the heads up.

Kraken is getting me a video of the one he has in.

Weird, I just called Big Al's to get some more information about them and they said they had none in.

If you can get me a picture, I might be able to ID it to see if it is a kind I am interested in. How big is it?

Thank you for the information. They want $100+GST+shipping. A little more than I wanted to spend.

Pisces is garbage. They have 0 knowledge when it come to the marine life and they don't know how to care for them. Highest prices I have seen for fish and coral that are always diseased or half dead.... Don't support them... At least for their marine livestock...
