In my situation, buying online is always cheaper, for instance a emperor 400 is $40 on sale at dr. fosters or $100 at every fish store within three hours of me. A ten gallon tank here is $50.
I can order fish through my pet store but there is no guarentee and the distributor sometimes sends whatever he has instead of what I want, I risked this only for a royal gramma and a damsel. I can't buy literally anything for my tank or most of my assorted animals locally so once or twice a month I order online. My only beef so far is that Foster's doesn't carry my test kits or my cat and ferrets food. Then I could order everything from them with no weight fees. I do order from other places to get the things I need but find that their shipping is the most reasonable.
Yes I pay a fortune for my fish, I have two coming for a grand total of $66, the shipping was more than the fish but it's not like I can go out and catch them myself is it? It's pretty much pay it or find a cheaper hobby but I kinda like this one. :rollface:

I live right across the bridge in Tampa. The best LFS near us is Marine Aquarium Warehouse on Hillsborough. Other than that I only know of 2 that are quality places to shop.
