don't think a lfs can afford to sell it much cheaper than that
fair call mate, i think alot of people forget that any shop that doesnt tack on at least 200% on its wholesale cost is going to ge broke really quick.

really?....200% is a fair mark up? i'm not being smart, just didn't realise that it was that much. Makes it hard for us poor ole pensioners to get the kinda fish we'd like to have. thank god for Fathers Day! ( thats where the heckles came from, courtesy of my wonderful girls)

In all sincerity - who here can confirm the validity of the fish's origins ? Price, I admit, is one limitation but who wants a fish that is not what is is suposed to be AND in this regard who would know ? ? ?

sorry to get off topic but if a shop buys in a bunch of fish for say $100, they have to house them, feed them, condition them to local water. this takes time, then they have to pay wages, rent, power water, equiptment maintence costs and still have enough money left over to make it worth their wild. plus a few fish always go belly up in the process and as unfortunate as it is for us end consumers were the ones who have to pay 3x what they paid wholesale.
when I've moved off youngans to a LFS id get $10-$15 ea then they'd sell them at $30- $45 ea. thats just busniess. and in my area thats all the market will pay for baby discus.

I think around 120-180 is what you'll probably pay for the greens from a lfs
