How far do you go?

My favorite fish store is back home which is over 100 miles away... So every time I'm home I buy something.

40 miles round trip , that shop usually has the fish I'm looking for , of course on the way home I amble slowely back , and stop at a least 3 other shops on the way back , this can take up to 3 hours at times

My favorite lfs is down the street a couple of miles.

My favorite LFS is about 5 blocks from my house. I walk there with my dog at least once a week.

When I go to any LFS, whether I walk, drive, bus or train, I bring a backpack or a duffel bag. I resist looking at the fish in the bag on the way home. IMO, they get much less stressed if kept in the dark.

my first fish were brought from memphis in a water bottle with a straw which is about 2 hours. but one petstore is just down the street but i wish we had a good local fish store

My lfs is about 7 miles away which is where I usually go. But there is another really good one about 1 hours drive away - they have a fantastic selection of stock, so when I fancy something a little different, I toddle off there.

I do a round trip of about 80 miles there isn't much in the highlands laddie.

I go to one that's approx 60 miles away for my synos. Got my angels there too. All travelled very well and the store packed them for a long drive. In rush hour it can take 3 hours +. Stupid A12 and M11.
I also have one a 10 minute walk from me and use that too. Have travelled to others of varying distance. Think the place I got the endlers from was about 20ish miles away.
I'm lucky enough that I can travel to get fish if I wish. Must be alot harder if you don't have a car.

Well, it goes to show you that we are all mad about our fish or just MAD.

 

[Miss Dib Dabs]

Mad. Just plain mad. I'm the same for all my animals. Except now I only have the fish and cats (Of the furry kind, aswell as the swimming kind).
I still have a tank cycling and empty yet I consider the possibility of another tank. I mean, where is the sense in that? I'll only go and stock it then want another and another.
Hugs,
P.

0 miles. Online shopping is the way to go...

Hey mypapercuthurts, when I read you're 2 hours from Memphis, my first thought was "Wow, he must be close to where I am..." Then I saw the Little Rock location. Never thought about THE OTHER DIRECTION!! haha, not really close to me at all!

I have gone an hour into Tupelo to go to PetsMart, but I never really end up with fish, just supplies. The lfs here is really good, they are about 20 minutes from me, so that is what I voted.

I have heard that there is a good lfs in a town in the area, but I am not sure EXACTLY where that town is. I know it will be over an hour, proably more. And if what I hear is right, I will be unable to resist, so I have been putting off going to see what they have.

lol

My local shop is 20 miles away to begin with (they don't have a lot of fish). I've brought fish from 300 miles away before (Pets Inc. in Tempe, AZ). For me to even get to a petsmart it's 54 miles. 83 miles the other way is a shop I like called pet world. My favorite shop was in Tempe though doubt I'll ever get there again.

Generally I stop at the LFS on the way back home from work, since my work location changes through-out the day i go to various fish stores, If I need to goto the local home depot on the weekend (25 miles away) ill stop at the nearby fishstore too and just check things out.

I never just drive out to the LFS (gas is expensive)

The only nearby LFS's are either expensive, understocked, or just seam unexperienced.

but for voting purposes i put down 20-30 miles
