I'd like to chime in also if I may, I have been working at a LFS for over a year now, The owner has been in this location 10 years, and doing saltwater for 30. The accounts are what keep us going atm. What has been said here is very true. You will see and be asked about things that will just...

I can see where it might be insulting to some. I also understand the Spanish culture and humor. This ranks up there with Bull fighting, be it in Portugal, South America what have you. It doesn't matter who, where, or what you are someone somewhere will always be insulted about something. They...

Do they both have their hearing?? It's fairly common for white cats to be deaf or have bad hearing. My last cat was a kitten thad had crwaled up into the underside of a pick up heading for New Orleans from Atlanta. Just happened to see him at a gas station.

I have two with a Guiniea Fowl and a Scotts Fairy. No problems at all. The y eat mysis with no problem. The initial period of getting them to eat is critical. After that they are golden. I had one hide for 2-3 days and the other never did hide. I was told that bllod worms may also be used if...

I don't know how many times in a week ppl say, " the size of the tank will control the size of the fish write?" I say " that means that you will get bigger than me if you grow up in a bigger house write??" urban myths die hard

This is my 3rd year in sales. My first year in salt water but the same kinda holds true. Sales wouldn't be bad if it weren't for the customers lol.

There seem to be several views on the LFS. True I don't and never have claimed to be an expert. No the store I work at is not the only good one out there. If I don't know I don't know. I call the owner with 30 years exp. in salt water. I have had customers come in and be bent 10 ways out of...
