Here is my issue....I want a yellow tang, 2 cleaner shrimp 10 more blue legged hermits, and a emerald crab in the future...I can pay

30$ for two cleaner shrimp
10$ emerald crab
12.90$ for 10 hermits
24.95 for yellow tang
from this site+50$ shipping which im splitting with a friend....or my lfs prices listed below

120$ for two cleaner shrimp
40$ emerald crab
33$10 blue legged hermits
80$ yellow tang now it is nice buying fro my lfs because i can pick which fish i want..and they are all very healthy......but jebus,,he wants a bloody fortune for everything...Im just very weary to buy all this stuff online...What kind of experience do you guys have online????And what do you think of this site????I have ordered my salt mix as well as my PC setup from them and couldnt be happier...quick service...and packed AMAZINGLY well....just scared of buying fish that have a long trip ahead of them like that....What do you guys think I should do?

I have 2 ocellaris tank raised clowns, and a firefish goby as well in my tank...water levels are spot on..tank has been running for montha nd a half...

$120 for cleaner shrimp! WOW thats high.Whatd he do dive for them himself.We get those around here for about 8 bucks each! Id definately order on line.Try this place called pet solutions .com.Ive heard theyer pretty good.

None of those places in the states will ship to Canada..they need a special licence to ship across the border..that is the only mail order place i can pretty much find in canada...that looks most reputable.

For that pricing that's what I would go with!

I'm Local for J&L and the Guys are great. *I've heard nothing but good things about there shipping. *I have how ever heard some poor reports on thier responces time when ordering.
not to put you onto other sites , but you will get better answers from Canadian forums (as people in the US can not buy Live stock from Canada and we can not from the US.)
Some sites to ask your question:
http://www.canreef.com
http://www.aquariumpros.ca
There is another one is Ottawa but I would send anyone there I can't even remember the name.
I was @ J&L's today *Some really sweet looking Clams and the fish look great. *There was a Yellow eyed Kole Tang that you should get *Really nice.

Good luck and if you have any questions PM me

Ouch, that is insane! I gripped about paying $18.00 ffor my cleaner shrimp.

The cheapest I can find cleaners around here(SC) is 40$ per pair. This guy only sells them in pairs. The other LFS wants 84$ each for small ones.

My LFS sells Red Skunk Cleaners for $20 - $25 each.

J&L's $14.95 CAN.

Gotta love'em
