Generally there is no shipping cost if you ask to have your fish added to their next order

depends on the place.... sometimes your fish is more!

it's no different then the reptile hobby. I deal with breeders, kijiji, people that just have pets.... I rarely have to go to a store, I can even get the food for my geckos from the forums!!!

To put this thread into perspective.. I will be picking up a foxface from Subman today for a portion of the price of a lfs. 2" for $75 or 12" full show piece healthy fish from another reefers tank for $50?? I got a heck of a deal and an amazing fish for a great price!

I've posted a couple of times looking for stuff, for me it was because ive asked for a couple different fish or corals at my LFS and they couldnt get them in. But I recently started to go to a different LFS and I can get anything under the sun the sun within 2 weeks. I really think its just due to what suppliers stores use.
