Unbelievable! Look at this, it's almost disgusting!
Here's something I guarantee you'll never see in a Canadian LFS...
 Purple gigantea's, blue gigantea's, green gigantea's ..... Man alive it's so unfair what you can get if you live in the U.S. that you can't get up here. To think that I waited a period from 1999 to 2004 (so 4.5 years, approximately) just for a single gigantea to land in a local LFS, and when it did land, it was a brown one. To me this would almost be worth the drive to Ohio. (It's so weird that Ohio seems to be "ground zero" for wicked reefkeeping livestock, but cquarium, premiumaquatics, saltycritter, and a number of other high-end U.S. based vendors seem to operate out of Ohio..)

There look to me like there are at least 3 purple in there. I'd almost trade up everything else that I have just for one purple gigantea. I'm guessing there are at least 10 distinct individuals in there - maybe 4 green (hard to say where one ends and the next begins), at least 3 purples, and maybe 3 or 4 blues. All I can say is "wow". I've seen large carpet shipments here in Canada but 1) usually no more than 4-5 and 2) certainly not gigantea's. In the time I've bought my 2 (one in 2004 and one in 2005) I have seen other gigantea's pass through the stores but I would guess it's somewhere in the order of 20 to 30 haddoni's to 1 gigantea. So to see 10 in a tank like this just completely boggles my mind.

I've always wondered why Canada does not get the same quality that there is in the States. You would assume that the LFS's here would be dealing with the same suppliers??

-not something i expect to see around here, or in my tank
 , before i thought it was just claims but it does seem that suppliers in the states have better livestock..

Just so you know, I have brought in all of these colours and types in the past and can still probably get them.
So yeah, If you want one, LMK thanks Neal
