How about $110 for all 3 (trying to reimburse for gas), and I can meet halfway, @ Kitchener?, or @ Bradford?, or @ Woodstock? :D
 
Honestly, in an area with that population, that is a ridiculous price for an ornate that size. A full grown ornate should be almost half that price there. If you don't mind growing your own, look into ordering from Spencer Jack. As long as you get a few people to order, the shipping is dirt cheap, and he has been carrying a god variety of bichirs lately.

Good call. Pet shop prices are always higher than mfk pricing. But you don't have to pay shipping and the fish is right in front of your face. You know exactley what your getting. If it's a fish you rarely ever find I say go for it. I've overpaid at lfs many times but thats ok, cause I new what I was taking home. I've also had great experience with the vendors on mfk.
 
did you get the ornate?
