I second this, tell them what you'd pay online and ask if they can do you a deal. You'll get an even better one if you shop there regularly. It's also worth asking if they don't have what you want, a...

A shrimp could kill another shrimp if they set their mind to it, I take it you don't keep yours individually to prevent that?

You can split it yes, if you've got a big plant and split a section off you'll have an instant bigger/faster growing plant than waiting for the plantlets.
