new lps

[ladynaoko]

well I went to our new lps yesterday. they opened the start of the month but I decided to wait a while so they could sort the shop out a bit.

They have the best fishroom I've seen in a PS for YEARS. It's huge - at least 100 tanks in there. And they have fish in there I haven't seen in any of the places here (like female bettas, I've been looking for those for aaaaages) and they have written on the tanks how big the fish get, temperature they need, aggresiveness etc and have some fully grown specimins on display (adult angels, clown loaches etc) so people can see how big they get. They only sell tanks 20gallons or more and give out factsheets when people buy fish

it's in some back end of nowhere place - my dad found it and drove me up so i don't know the name

He's keeping it like that so I have to ask HIM if I wanna go

Bunji: I live in south west wales, in fact nearly as far west as you can go

You are incredibly lucky, I envy you so much. I have to drive for about an hour to get to a half-good, LFS, let alone a good one.

WOW! I'm in north wiltshire, sounds like my next camping trip might take me your way Lady Naoko!!!!

Can you get a location out of your Dad? I approve of bribery and scullduggery when required..........

Sounds like a great place. I've got a really nice LFS in my area, too, only about 15 minutes away. Dozens of tanks, show tanks with full-grown fish, and the salespeople are extremely helpful. Also have a shark, with live feedings every week. Pretty cool, though I still haven't gotten around to seeing one. It's called Big Al's Aquarium Services.

It's great to hear that some FS and PS actually care what will happen to the fish once they leave the store, and aren't only interested in selling the fish.

Thats funny someone mentionsed big als. I just went to my local als, and the store seems to be getting better than it used to be. The guy I usually deal with was on vaca. So I asked one guy some stuff I already knew the answer to. I do this every time I have to deal with someone new. And he was right on the money. He actually advised me not to get another fish, based on the info I gave him. Can you beleive it. A fish selling guy trying to get you to go home without a fish.
