Do what my friend did when he used to live in Australia. Befriend the collectors

 

I picked up a nice medium cleaner for $20 a few weeks back.

What do u pay for an adult clown? Totally depends on the variety. Ocilaris go for $15-$20, true percs $25ish and up depending on the coloration.
What do u pay for a blue yellow tale damsel? $3-5ish.
What do u pay for a fire goby? Paid $9.99 on sale for mine, usually around $15. Purple Firefish go for $25ish.
What do u pay for a pair of adult yellow forcipers butterfly fish? no clue
What do u pay for a baby valentini puffer? Just picked one up from a LFS for the tank at the office, nice medium sized specimen healthy and eating for $16

 

my first cleaner strimp i got for 7.99 second for 4.99 my lfs has sales every now and then they also have coupons like 25% off a fish or coral

 

My shrimp was $19, and I thought that was to much, but got him anyway.

 

canada chiming in , cleaner shrimp 20 , blood shrimp 40 , percula clowns were 40 .damsels ive seen for 10 - 10. so 20 would be roughly 18 us and about 10 euros. those prices are from a chain of lfs that i go to.

 

you live in australia and are jealous of our salt water paradise? strange...

I think that the prices in Asia are even cheaper than in the USA.
