clownfish, if u do visit a number of LFS over a period of time u get to know the market rates of species.
e.g
common clowns: pac marine & reefworld($1 all sizes), Reborn($1/periodicly),Keong Seong($1.50 for small,$2 for big),superstar pasir ris($2.50).
I don't think patrick uses that kind of strategy?does he? he knows his stock well enough.
& if u want to have a more orangy colouration,rotate foods fed, bloodworms/brine shrimp/market prawns/flake/pellet & a stress free environment.

sat morning is a good time for farms cause that's their full load- they already start packing/shipping sat morning.
Reefworld/Pac marine/reborn- stock usually comes thu & fri.
Sealife stocks diff as they come from the philipines, sometimes u find diff species there.

Mez: a clown or damsel reaches the UK at around sterling 2-3 Quid, they go wholesale at around 5 Quid in UK(thus the rest is your distributor/LFS mark up).
Imports of tank bred common clowns usually come in here at SGD 50 cents.A 100% is normal mark up thru each stage in the industry.
But i agree with Dragon,i don't mind paying the prices but only if they are good quality specimens-

Who is patrick ? You mean spiff ?

[DragonGoby]

didn't mean to say that pat uses such strategies - I'm sure he doesn't. He did not tell me if it was more orange or what, and I didn't even ask him how come it's $2, haha! As long as it's healthy, it good enough for me. Pat knows his stuff, for sure - was just sharing with me how to successfully keep Gorgonians and showing me his BEAUTIFUL black tang and chevrons. [] I think some of the water on his floor consisted of my drool man! =) But really, he's just honest - even pointed out to me which fish weren't eating and told me not to get them.
