    Yea, I am not so up-to-date on online ordering, but that price seems ridiculous to me...I would look elsewhere as well.

    And don't add everything at once. Your tank needs time to adjust to the new loads, i.e. the bacteria need time to catch up with the poo-poo your new fish will make. If you add everything at once you run the risk of spiking your ammonia then everything will die and you will waste your money.

    Ivydog, where are you at in NM? I'm in Albuquerque and can point you to some good LFS sources and some local hobby connections for frags.

    ah, don't know anyone down there except glass blowers... you could make the trip.... would be easier on the fish than overnight shipping.

    Check out liveaquaria.com they have a pretty minimal order amount and are very well known for quality livestock and a great livestock guarantee. If you break your shipments up a little bit it might not be too bad shipping cost-wise.

    They have pretty good shipping rates for cleanup crew stuff too.
