I ha(d) a lfs like that. The owner constantly sold things that had no place being sold. Anyone with money could get whatever. A huge elegance that was probably close to a foot an a half across to a guy who didnt even know what lighting he had. Or anything about his system other than the size of it. 65. I had spent a decent amount of money at that store 2 visits prior. After getting the colonys home to aclimate they where COVERED IN FLATWORMS. To a point where there was no way he would not have seen. I told the guy buying the elegance "You should probably dip that" (it had come from the same system as the colony and torch I had got just a few days prior.) Which he looked at me like he had no clue what i was talking about. But the owner happily took his 200+ dollars and he left. A couple visits later the owner told me he wasnt going to sell to me or who i came in with because it was "rude" for me to have recommended to that coustomer to dip. Haha. Most places I go to RECOMMEND to any coustomer to dip. That guy is a real character. I unfortunately had a gift card to there too so I was getting RO there. My last an final visit the dude said some really nasty stuff.Just went to LFS and saw this sad hang-on with lots of nudis. As you may know, each type has a different diet and are hard to feed. But they live in this tiny box with nothing. I’m sure they pick out the dead ones as they die and sell them to unsuspecting customers and order more as needed. There are things about this hobby that frustrate me.
The store I made the other comment about does the same. Mandarins, All types of wrasses and other things. BB an completely bare in the aspect of hiding places.
Yes! They’re beautiful creatures. There are some other types in there as well like Hypselodoris and some fatter looking ones that I don’t know the name of.
I live in Hong Kong at the moment and am curious - as my LFS does this - they prebag fish for people to buy. So you’ll see clownfish, eels, triggers, you name it. All prebagged with a price written on it.
I'm lso in hk with my reef and alway avoid these shops. There is one shop in particular that looks like a refugee camp for fish. If your looking to buy the better shops are above street level in the residential buildings. [emoji12]
Yeah. I go to one that’s one floor up. They have LRS foods there. Also off to the side of goldfish street, there’s a place with beautiful tanks and corals called something like coral galaxy. A bit pricy but if you want something nice, it’s worth it to pay a bit more
Yes I actually found a great shop 2 weeks ago. K corals I think it was. Pricy but excellent quality and sometimes if you buy 3 pieces it's 50% off so it works out OK [emoji16].
That may be the one I’m thinking about. They still have Christmas decorations up in the front right? If so, they’re pretty good. The owner offered me a discount on a purple tip anemone. But it was still too expensive.
Ah I didn't pay attention to any decor that wasn't in the tank lol. Possibly. Its got a beautiful tank in the window and another the same size just on the right as u go in. And a rear section where they build and design systems also with about 10 desplay tanks. I think it's on nullah Rd
Yes. That’s exactly the one. I just found out last time I went there that it’s shaped like an L and there are more tanks in the back. He showed me how to feed the anemones. He took some dead clowns and put them in the mouths. The anemones were so healthy. Compared to the place that’s all blue on the main strip - they have BTA floating in the tanks, shriveled up and just shoved in tanks.
