Ya they are not cheap but they also don't buy from fish farms. They seem to get their fish from private breeders. Also they are my cheapest option as, being right next to me, I don't pay shipping. Take my rope, the fish cost $26.00 but the shipping was almost $50.00. Even if I had to pay Dan's for shipping it would have been $10.00 less than what I had to pay so would have made up for the higher fish cost.Dan's fish is insanely expensive I checked earlier today... Yikes
You can't just look at the cost of the fish. You also need to consider the quality of the fish and figure in shipping as part of the total cost.
As an aside I really need to get with Dan's to see if I can see how they package their fish as I've never seen this before. My rope came in a twisted and rubber-band bag like you would expect from a fish store. The cichlids and Pandas I got from Dan's were in a sort of plastic bag but they were obviously heat sealed with the air obviously under some pressure.
