![]() Well, in general, fish not caught by cheap Asian labor will be more expensive. This is true of all the non Indo-Pacific reef regions (Australia, Red Sea, Central America and, of course, Hawaii).
As far as buying a Blue tang from Hawaii goes, I think it's safe to say that there is no additional perk to it being sourced from that region over any other given region, given the context. Strange that they would even order them from there *shrug*

![]() I've seen fish differ by $80 or more depending on how much the supplier charges for shipping. Shipping also goes way up when weather is bad. Just be thankful you're in Calgary, regal tangs sell for $80-$150 in Edmonton.

![]() The price of Hawaiian fish has been steadily increasing the last few years. Given the political situation regarding the collection of ornamentals from that region, it's lucky we can get fish from there at all.

![]() And unfortunately, looking at the price our American neighbours pay for things can not help the mood after a purchase. Suffice it to say, Canucks get hosed on soooo many things it's just not funny. But it is what I is, I guess. As far as our hobby is concerned, once in a blue moon though, there are things Canadians will get better prices on than 'Mericans ... enjoy them rare occasions! Haha.
