Local Fish Store Directory

[dthoffsett]

If any of you have been browing Board Announcements lately, you probably know I'm reorganizing the LFS Directory threads. I would like to add one for all countries other than the US or the UK. So, if you live in or have visited any and would like to post a review here, I'd be happy to include them.

Please use the following format for each store:

Comments: a huge store spread out over three floors with a brilliant selection at great prices, but the owner, although incredibly knowledgable in all things aquatic, is a total w***er and is not the friendliest of people, its as if you bother him by being in the store. his assistant is great though and will go out of his way to help you, even though his knowledge could do with being improved

Comments: a brilliant LFS set in a warehouse style enviroment. sooooo many fish to offer both common and the rarer varieties. good prices, good selection but always VERY busy and it does take a while to be served!

Comments: a chain store type pet shop with a small and limited fish section. take good care of the fish and although not so clued up on all things fishy, the staff are great and will search online for answers they dont. they even let you catch your own fish if you ask nicely to ensure you get the ones you want

Just bumping this up so it doesn't get lost in the crowd.

Thanks for posting Spishkey, hopefully some other people will rate some stores or you'll be all alone.

Comments: Lots of dead fish. All the staff does is bag the fish. I have to do all the question asking. Good for fish though, I like the selection, although would like to see some Saltwater fish and I've been dying to find a HalfMoon Betta.

Doing better with the betta cups though, The lids have a tube thing, which allows more oxygen, also cleaner cups.

Thanks for reviewing Jpmc, hopefully with everyone on the board this weekend we'll get some more.
