I went there Saturday after a trip to Atlantis. The prices are certainly high, but the selection is unbeleivable. It's a huge place, in Metro New York with a big rent or high taxes if he owns. Imagine his electric bill. He's not some guy with 20 tanks in his basement with 1000's of fry he'd love to get $4 each for. That said, if you have an established tank and need something big, you can go there and pick it out. The pirahna selection blew my mind. Would I pay $500 for 1 or $500 for a ray? Maybe not right now, but if I ever decided too, I would go there.

the one that is
is you .1. nobody forces you to buy from them so if you don't like it keep the comments for yourself.
2. did you look at the quality and health of the fish ? ....if you are a chepo buy that inbreed garbage from petco and enjoy it
Most of my fish are coming from SA and I am happy I decided to pay for quality.
I have never,ever had problems with thier customer service,you just have to know what time to call them(late afternoon).nomad;4704906; said:....you are kidding right ?....aquascape has horrible customer service and they are known for that.

really ?...then why have I notice lately a couple of members here warning people in their signatures about aquascape?...I guess they forgot to call late afternoon
I will rather stick with reputable vendors such as shark aquarium, rapps or snook.
Snook and rapps are amazing. I was simply making a statement about the prices. No I'm not asking for 10$ fish... There quality might be outstanding but some of there cichlid prices are extremely high. Like I said the green terror, red devil pairs for over 100.00 but after all this is mfk where attitude is all....
$69.99 for a 7" GT does seem high ... certainly more than I would pay, but it may be that this particular GT is an amazing specimen, don't really know ...
I suppose there are two possible positions: 1) is prices are out-of-line, or 2) his quality is outstanding
details matter ...

knowing and buying from SA, I bet that GT was a wild caught, show specimen....so when you say is too expensive you're comparing against what ?
In a business where vendors and LFS disappear after a couple of years , Shark Aquarium has been around for 20 years...I guess George is doing something right after all...if you guys have a different explanation for this other than outstanding fish quality, rare stock and competitive prices, I would love to hear it
when people will start understanding that you are getting what you paid for, it will be alot less crying and whining on this website.

Its very rude and sad to slam a reputable store like this. They have one of the best selection of predatory/oddball fishes in the USA.
If you want cheap prices and fishes, go to Petsmart and buy their one dollar tetras when they are on sale.
