Is this the right pricing?

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
I remember selling saltwater fish back in the 90's. Yellow tangs for 20 bucks, damsels for 5, butterfly's for 25. Prices sure have skyrocketed.
 
Technically, yellow tank still selling 20~25 bucks, damsel 3 bucks each for common species, better color damsel selling 7 bucks each (Fiji), price don't change much or the different usually less than 5 bucks compare to 20 years ago...still cheap if you ask me! Corals darn cheap too since many people frag them from their own reef tank then traded to nearby LFS or selling online if a rare color coral. The most expensive stuff are those fancy automated system controller and top of the line light system.
 
Where do you buy from, just curious? The prices I've checked at the local store are a bit more reasonable thank goodness.

A golden moray I could maybe do in there, but, a snowflake, even just a single one, is pretty much a NO. I'm still not sure about engineer gobies, but they're probably out too. With the bubble tip nem, that's what I was saying, I would only put it in after I've gotten used to salt water if I'm still gonna get clownfish and the tanks about a year old. I already know about their lighting needs, which is why I'm trying to find at least something that's better than the cheap led system ive got posted above. Most stores around here are big box chain stores, and the mom and pop ones, are basically nonexistent. So I'm stuck buying online! Live aquaria is the one with the livestock for the rich people, saltwater fish.Com is too, bluezooaquatics looks OK. Vividaquariums does too, when I click aquastockers.Com it takes me to a car decal store. Petsolutions looks fine, thatpetplace, looks OK, I'm still not sure if aquabids safe, and last of all, marinefishEZ I can't go in because 1. Its not a private website, and 2. Every single antivirus and Knox app on my phone lists it as "CRITICALLY DANGEROUS". So I'm left with, blue zoo aquatics, Petsolutions, thatpetplace, and vivid aquariums. Anybody have experience with any of these places? And Mushutherhinoscorpion Mushutherhinoscorpion ? Live rock for 30 $!! Where do you buy from?!?! That horn shark you have looks pretty cheap compared to saltwaterfish.Com's 2,300$ eppaulette they have on their website, Even after you've been on the waiting list for who knows how long.

I get my rocks and fish at my loco fish store. .... and yes horn sharks are cheaper 250 to 300$
 
The guy responds really fast who owns the store and seems really nice so I think I've finally found a reputable, not online place to buy from.
