The prices are the cheapest I have ever seen just like everyone else said. And again, just like how everyone said, you should not buy fish from this store if you are a beginner because of the quality of the fish. They are in overstocked aquariums and they are physically weak. I do not recommend this store for anyone but people with at least a years experience of fish keeping.
