U're right in saying that they have to protect the fish shops they sell to. If they sell much cheaper than all the fish shops, the fish shops are going to close and then they'd lose lotsa big buying customers.

That said, if you get to know them better and u become a 'familiar' face, u can get SUBSTANTIAL discounts.

Fish, move in and out of there very quickly 'cos if a bunch of fish shop owners come, they don't buy 10 fish... they buy 200 fish at a go. A tank of peppered corys could get sold to just one dealer. What u get to see on sale is but a small tiny portion of the whole place. They've lots more fish in ponds and holding tanks behind.

I"m glad u like the place. Well worth the visit to see so many fishes...
