LFS with warrentys on SW fish, or group buy online?

I have heard there are some LFS around the Des Moines area that have a warranty on the fish. I would like to purchase a blue tang and if I can't find a better deal will buy it online but $40 for shipping seems kind of high for just one fish.

I was looking at Blue Zoo Aqutics and will end up buying more fish then I should right now just to make the shipping worth it. Does anyone want to do a group buy with me. I know I just missed one not to long ago but hopefully someone else in the area needs some fish.

I am just going to buy from blue zoo. I am going to end up with an extra fish out of the deal so I can't complain to much.

I know that there is 1 person who didn't make it on order that expressed some interest and another who needs to get more snails. Hopefully they will post here if they're still interested.

I would order with you if they would ever get the fish I want in stock!

the LFS in DSM that has a guarantee is Iowa petfoods and aquatics on 22nd street in West Des Moines behind hooters in the stripmall every fish has two prices one with a guarantee and one without.... still cheaper to wait till you can afford to justify the shipping and buy online

Thanks for the input. I didn't realize Iowa Pet Foods had a warranty! I go there all the time. My daughter loves the sharks and the puppies. One more day if anyone wants to add anything to the order!
