[petitericeball]

i live in northern IL and i was wondering if tehre was any store that sold java moss
i really want some and i dont want to buy it off the internet because i just dont...
you cant buy any live plants from the chain stores and i dont trust any online buying stores unless their well known or a chain... is there any good stores in like south beloit rockford chicago etc??

My petsmart has java moss.

I live near Chicago, but I can't really help you out. I can tell you that the Petsmarts around here have java ferns if you are looking for a fast-growing plant.

By the way, add a sig and avatar.

Go to your LFS and tell them to order you some. They can and will, if they don't they should not get your business. Well maybe if they come up with a real good excuse, but it would have to be pretty darn good.

i was thinking of doing that but i thought it would be asking too much

and can you ask them to order a certain type of fish because i want some paleatus and nattereri corys

 

[De Plano]

Asking them won't hurt. Some of the fish suppliers send out faxes to the retailers so they have an updated list of what they can order, they don't have every fish every week, and never have some. If you ask though they should be able to tell you within a few days if they can order it. Some stores only put in orders every couple of weeks, so you may have to wait a few days. At least that way you will be able to look at the person you give your money to. Even if you don't get the product immediatlly you will get a hard copy of the transaction and be able to say who took the order..

Okay I understand most of your post and maybe I am being a do-do head here, but what the heck does 8p mean?

Okay, here's the deal with loveless. He sent me the java moss.........we were supposed to cross ship at the same time........(me send my $5 to him the same day he sent my java moss....) and me, being the biggest LOSER waited another week before I even thought about sending him the money...........I had the moss over 4 days before my dumb a*s remembered to send it...........never once did I hear from Loveless saying "hey stupid a*ssho*e, where's my %$#@!&# money, b*&%@? " In fact, when I did remember that I hadn't sent it, I frantically sent him an email and rambled some excuses to him and got the sweetest email back about how busy I must be............to make a long story short...........trust the guy. It took as much trust from him as it did from me, since we were cross shipping. In fact, I am sure he would wait for payment to see if you were satisfied first. He isn't doing this for a business or anything, just has a tank that is over-run with the stuff and from what I am gathering he figured it would be better to give us some of it than throw it away! By the time he bought the nice, comfy, padded envelope and put put postage on it, I am sure he made a whopping $2 for his time. And besides, it is only $5, and I sent cash. What's $5??? Just make sure you send it in a thick envelope or wrap it in something. I wouldn't send anyone my CC# either........and I don't think he has the equipment for that transaction..........
Loveless, correct me here if I am wrong................

Also let them know you don't expect to have it tomorrow, just that you want it when they can get it.

 

[petitericeball]

olive 8P is : P which if you put together auto becomes

should come out to smily #4

hey I understand your reasoning and totally back you about trading n stuff online.

Now what I can't understand is how you cant do fish store chicago in yahoo.com and get a link to one million stores.... then you pick up the phone and say, "Yo how much for the java man?"

No way in heck you can't find java in N. ILL. Try the phone book if you don't like yahoo.

Come on, you can do this
