I bought a tiny hippo for $40 I think from Sea Schor. $31 is pretty cheap for a hippo tang.
I would check out odd lot pet shop on 79th and harlem not sure what town maybe burbank. They are always right on when it comes to the prices of their fish and they are the only place I buy my fish from now. For whatever reason their fish always live when I purchase from them. They are even cheaper than global from my experience.
In live in morton grove.In what area of Illinois do you live?
Just because they are asking a price does not mean you have to pay it. Try low balling them they always seem to knock off money for me. Especially if you are buying more than one fish. Ask for dan I believe he is the owner if I remember correcttly.
I'm sure Dan(if that's his name) just loves seeing you walk in his store![]()
