Calgary Saltwater Market: Your thoughts?

While I like our boutique stores... They regularly drive me nuts... I hate to say it but I really do miss BA's. That was the only store that actually stocked hermit crabs, snails etc. You know the basics! The other stores are hit and miss on those simple items - yes I know one store usually has em, but I'm not paying 8$ for an astrea.

Hardware's no fun to find lately either... Seems like everyone wants you to wait 2-6 weeks for most slightly-less common items 2-6 weeks? I'll mail order - at least then i'll have it in 7-10 days.

I have to echo andy here. It's really frustrating when you go to three stores and can't find what your looking for.
