lol how true it is... my lfs store charges more for a fish but i also get to pick out which one i want and if i wanted to he would hold it for me however long i want to make sure it is healthy. $25 is pretty steep for a clown if it is a perc but if it is a different clown then it wouldnt surprise me to charge that much. also if your lfs sells the fish in a bare bottom tank it is healthy to have algea and stuff in the tank cause that is part a lot of fishes diets. if the fish dont look healthy then i would buy online but if there is nothing wrong with them and they give you a guarantee then i would go for it. also $50 is not a bad price for an anemone considering when you get them shipped only about half of them survive. also if your just wanting to save a buck then go to a chain pet store that sells SWF, but be warned that a lot of them have diseases. as far as online vendors i have heard good things about saltwaterfish.com, marinedepotlive.com, and vividaquariums.com personally i wont buy anything other then a cleaning crew online because i really enjoy picking out my own specimen and dont mind paying the extra buck. i payed $40 for 2 O clowns that were babies for my first fishes and they have been doing great, also the good thing about getting to babies is that they haven't went through the sex change so you can witness them go through that as your aquarium gets established. i added a beautiful LMB last week and am now acclimating my 6 line wrasse. also with the clowns you have to take into account whether it is tank raised or wild. sometimes the wild ones cost more becuase they are more prone to host an anemone.seaham358 said:
